i KNOWWW! i feel like i spend half the day here sitting on my butt which is NOT helping my ass size lol! it is soo hard to get re-motivated once you get out of the habit of walking which is the mistake i made. not trying to blame or make excuses but part of the reason i stopped was for other health reasons. you know, the MS and heart stuff...but lately i been feeling good so twice this week i walked on my treadmill for 30 minutes.

do you have a treadmill or do you have to walk outside? do you drink coffee or tea? i hate to suggest chemicals but when i need a jumpstart (to get my BODY motivated) i use caffeine. once i'm in the habit, i dont need it or want it. and your right walking can be so boring, but i have burnt some cd's with my favorite 80's music and listen to them while i walk. the music itself is SO motivating cuz it just makes you want to move! if you need my list of "pumpin" songs i can give them to you. 80's dance music and some 90's have such a fast beat. i'm gonna go paste this in your diary so you see it sooner.
 
i'm amazed. i lost not 5, but 6 pounds in this last 2 week 5 pound challenge!
went from 132 to 126, now to get to the goal 125! hope i dont end up plateauing now :eek: that would truly suck. i did exercise 3 times this past week so i'm guessing that was the kick my metabolism needed. i'm really going to have try and limit my computer time and stay on my feet for the next couple months.

i'm thinking now i should lower my goal...125 is good i guess, but winter is coming and thats when people really pack on the pounds :mad: i dont want that happening to me! besides, my butt is still big (its always the last to go) and i still dont look right in a bikini. so if i lose like 10 more from first goal that will put me at 115...then if i gain a few it wont matter cuz i'll still be normal weight. i have to wait and see if i'm going to be stuck or not first and then i'll decide...
 
WW, you are doing AMAZING on your weight loss! I'm inspired by you!!!!!! How many kids do you have? How old? I have a 7 year old son. I read you have MS and heart issues???? When did they develop? I have cardiomyopathy (congestive heart failure) and rheumatoid arthritis. Both are autoimmune illness (I have a few others too, but I hate sounding like a string of ailments). I'll write more later, off to work. What size are you in now, by the way??? love and hugs, j

well thank you so much! i got 3 kids. kevin is 5, and katelin and Brian are 4.
was dx'd with MS in 2002 but its been pretty stable lately. the heart issues are still being looked into. i hate sounding like a string of ailments too! i'm not sure what size really. last time i was at the store, smallest was a 9/10. found a 10 yr old pair of jeans tho from the attic that are size 7 that fit so i'm happy to have another item to wear! (money is tight!) think i will wait a few more pounds til i attempt shopping again. take care, off to get warm!
 
WW..good for you on your weight loss... very awesome! I didnt realize you had MS..good for you for taking care of yourself, that is very important whether you have an illness or not. My dad is diabetic & it scares the crap out of me to get it w/ all the complications you can get. I am realizing more & more how important it is to be proactive as you never know what is going to come our way in life. Im glad your doing well!
 
thank you kat and also everybody else, i finally reached my goal today!!




ok, there it is. 60 pounds gone! like somebody said i think it was kirsty ally? thats equal to a kindergartner! guess i better go make a new ticker now with a NEW goal!

Thats true....but your already are soooo thin....dont want you wasting away to a skeleton.....well , that is unless you like that look.. ;) .....
Do you do alot of baking??....I think people that make alot of goodies have a real hard time during this season.....
Ohh and some ideas to give to trick or treaters instead of candy....stickers....those little toys you get in a bag for going to birthdays.....the dollar stores have alot of stuff like that,
 
Personally I think you look truly amazing and dont need to lose anymore weight but its whatever you feel happy with. I know how it is I have my goal at 120 but I keep thinking 110 is best for me its all in how I feel when I get there. Same as you. But you have done so amazing you could achieve any goal you set for yourself with ease.
 
thanks girls, YOU are all the ones responsible for helping me reach my goal. thank you all so much! now if i can just get rid of the halloween candy. i think i will just let the kids stuff their faces with it til its gone! the sooner the better ::evil laugh:::

my willpower seems to be falling this week. i'm thinking it must be because that time of the month is approaching. that is when i REALLY have hard time resisting temptations. still holding at 125 tho....for now.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: i TOTALLY messed up today!! i said i wouldnt eat any candy but i did. :eek: well then once i screwed up the day, i figured it might as well be a free for all. so every time i was hungry i ate and i didnt count a single calorie! dammit i hate halloween, i wish i could hide the candy or better yet burn it. but what would i tell the kids? chit chit chit! i MUST get back on track tommorrow i cant take this its too depressing :(
 
AAHH Dont get down on yourself its one day and it wont hurt your little butt. You deserve a day with some junk in it its one day and look how far you have gotten on your whole weightloss journey. Tomorrow is a new Day so you can kick butt tomorrow. Just throw all the candy out the window...LOL.
 
Ah, the evils of the Halloween candy. Perhaps your candy free-for-all today was a jump-start to rev your metabolism up. The day is nearly over and tomorrow you can start fresh. I used to have my hubby hide the candy, is that an option? How about getting a big lock box and giving him the key? That way, the kids get their candy (when he gets home of course), but you are temptation free all day. I encourage my son to eat all of the good stuff (that I like) first. Then, it is gone and temptation removed. I won't waste calories on orange flavored tootsie rolls (no matter HOW desparate I am). I've also tried rationing myself a certain calorie allotment of candy before (hershey kisses, tootsie pops, etc). I'd have my own daily stash and could have them whenever I wanted. I'd make sure my stash had a limited number of calories though (whatever I felt safe with at the time).

I'll write more later, hubby wants me to fall asleep with him.
love, j
