Holidays to make dieting difficult. I usually allow myself to eat whatever I like on the actual holiday.... But I don't keep the high calorie treats in the house. I send them home with others or portion them out and freeze them so I can't indulge in spontaneous snacking of high-cal treats.

hey.. good to have u back :D :D

don't worry about the last two weeks.. u probably did a lot better than u think u did :)..and more importantly ur metabolism got a necessary boost, SO NOW U CAN LOSE A LOT MORE WEIGHT :D

keep it up... dnt let the holidays get to u
 
Thanks a bunch guys. I don't know why it is so hard for me right now. I did allot better today. My biggest problem is portion control I don't seem to feel full. I really hate that. I know in my mind the reason I am struggling is due to the fact that I have not been able to workout. When I workout I don't want to mess it up by eating crap. So the solution is simple I have to make the time to exercise. It is the most important thing you can do for yourself. But I can't seem to put myself first and just do it. I will beat this one way or the other!!! Take care Tina
 
"Trying" to lose weight is indeed Not Easy....

Although it sounds not too hard for many.

I have been there and done that too....and I truly know how hard it can be from the moment you start till you reach your ideal weight & physique.

It takes a lot of factors to get to your goals.

By controlling each and every one could be rather tiresome.....

And result in giving up totally!

The best way...( at least to me ) is to in-corporate them into your lifestyle and enjoy the entire process of "living the healthy way".....

Which would ultimately lead to a new "slimmer" you.....without having to dieting tortuously or with so much restrictions!

My 2 cents worth of opinion...:)
 
You are right. I have never tried to deprive myself of anything. I feel once I do it is trouble! I only want the item even more. I have enjoyed every part of my journey until now. I feel I am giving up and I hate it. Although yesterday was great I went snow shoeing and it has seemed to get me geared back up. When I exercise I really don't want to ruin it by eating something that will take that hard work away.
So thank you very much for your two cents worth it is so true. Take care Tina:iagree:
 
I am feeling very focused today. I have errands to do and then I am going to the gym. And I am looking forward to it. Today is great!
 
hey.. its really good to know that u are so back on track :) :D

had a lousy last week.. i had one week of holiday followed by the last (and the most stressful week) of the semester which is coming up from tmrw... initially the plan was to keep eating good and working out on the free week.. so that if due to stress i miss a work out or two in the coming week its ok..

but the the plan dint go right.. with it being our yearly festival and all i ended up eating a lot for 5 days in a row.. :( :willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

dats bad :willy_nilly:

i've gotten back on track frm today.. but now i have to consolidate for the bad week, in days i'll be really bz in the frst place..

but it was motivating to c dat u are so focused :)
 
We all stumble now and then. The most important part is to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and go for it again. I am upset I did not get a chance to go to the gym the other day and was way to busy to fit it in on the weekend. So now I am going to go today. I need to do this for me and take the time I need to. So that is what I will do Merry Christmas to me. Take care and keep on keeping on. Tina:willy_nilly:
 
Thanks MissJellyBelly,
I have had a hard time these last few weeks. But this week I was able to go to the gym 2 times and loved every minute of being there. I worked really hard and felt great when I left. I am holding off to buy my membership until Jan tho. But I can't wait to get back on track.
I am going on vacation Monday and I know it will be hard to stay on track. But I will be with my sister who is soooooo healthy and she will help me stay focused. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. May everyone get what they wish for a healthy life. Take care Tina:seeya:
 
Back from Florida and ready to start the New Year off on the right foot. I bought myself new running shoes(really needed them). So I am ready to start today. I am tired of the up and down I have been going thru lately. So tomorrow I will go and buy that gym membership! I can't wait to get started again. I was very bad over Christmas I don't want to step on the scale. I know I have allot of weight gain due to the fact I got lazy.
I am back on track now for good I am sick of being disappointed in myself. I am the only one who is going to make this weight go away for good. I am that important that I will do this for me. I will do better on posting I feel it keeps my in check. Well good luck to all in the New Year! Tina
 
hey.. way to go.. i am back too.. and it feels great seeing u this motivated.. :D :D

there's this pretty fancy (and expensive gym) dat i've been wanting to join for a long time... i have promised to present myself with a membership to that gym wen i get to within 15 pounds of my goal weight.. :D :D

dats keepin me pretty motivated :)
 
It is so good hearing from you. Hope your Holiday was great! I think that is the best thing you could buy yourself. It is hard going into a gym and seeing all the small fit people. But I always tell myself that I am showing them(the fit ones) that I will someday be in the smaller outfits also. I have chosen a gym that is small and not allot of people go to but it has everything I need to get my workouts done.

I feel I push myself harder in front of people I don't want them to see me give up. I want to prove that I can kick ass. So that is why the gym does not bother me as much as it did. Everyone there is there to do the same thing get healthy.

Good luck to you

Today I went to the gym and it was great. I chose a gym that not many people use. When I got there this morning there was 2 other people and then it was just me! I love it was able to workout and I did not have the feeling that everyone was looking at me. What a great year this is going to be. I am ready to finish what I started. Tina:seeya:

ps Hope everyone has a great start to their New Year!
 
Well this weekend went pretty good. Like I mentioned before I worked out on Saturday morning but I did not get a chance to workout on Sunday. But this morning I have eaten a great breakfast. I had 2 eggs with spinach and reduced fat cheese in a whole wheat wrap. So now I am headed to the gym. I am going to write down what I accomplish each day. So after a week or so look back and then push myself to do more. Let you know how it is working! Take care Tina:jump:
 
Hi Tina, Happy new year.
I unsubscribed from your thread by mistake, I am rusty with how this works.
I am back... dont want to say much, but I have resolved to take it to the end.

I have checked on your progress all these months and am so proud of you, you go girl...

Cheers
 
You have know idea how happy I am to see you are back. I have been lacking motivation as of late. But now I am back on track. I have joined a gym and I have gone for the last 5 days and I am loving every painful moment. I have also talked my friend from work to join me and we now go together. We call each other accountabilabuddies. lol Whatever it takes to work. Take care Tina:party:

Ps I have been writing down everything I do each day at the gym. I will now bore you with the details but a great way to see how far you have come.
