Good for you! I always say the hardest part about exercise for me is just getting on the shoes and walking out the door! I have started to workout at a gym 3 days per week and walk 2 times. I've lost 13bs. If you don't have a scale, you could report on how your jeans are fitting!

Does anyone have trouble with your weight loss hitting a plateau? I lost 9 lbs. the first month and only 4 lbs. this month, with no loss lately. I am eating really healthily and exercising a lot. Does anyone have any strategies for getting the weight loss going again?

step up or change your workout routine

Unfortunately, I only have certain exercises I can do bc of back problems. (I think if I stepped up the exercise I would keel over, bc this routine is hard!) I'll ask my PT if there's any way to change things up!!

Hi! I haven't been on here in forever. I am happy to see that the ones that were here on my last visit are sticking with this.

The past 2 weeks have been so hard. I am eating anything in sight it seems like and this morning I struggled to button my jeans. Now......there is a chance albeit a slight one that I could be pregnant. Along with the increased appetite I have been very moody, crying for no apparent reason.....we are waiting to test until I am officially "late" because I've had "phantom symptoms" before and we got our hopes up only to de disappointed.

Keep up the great job everyone!!

Hello ladies I am back once again!
I am up about 6 more pounds..I was doing so good! Right now I just want to eat and that is exactly what I have been doing regardless of the consequences. I have MS and in the summer I feel horrible. So I am also depressed. So to make myslef feel better I have been eating! I go to washigton to visit my mom on friday and will be there for a week. My plan is to get back to it when I get back. I dont plan on telling everyone..To much pressure. I am just going to do it on my own! It always seems as soon as I tell DH or the family. I feel severe pressure. So I am going to try it a different way this time!

I will let you know how it goes once I get started~!

I posted recently about walking with our dog and how well I was doing. Well, we literally went out of town two weeks in a row and now I'm so off track. I'm still trying to make good eating choices but that's sometimes hard eating with a group. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Just had to vent. Figured telling y'all would give me some accountability to get my butt back in gear!!

Goal: lose 25 lbs by Christmas.
Plan: Exercise bike, punching man (bag), pilates and NO MORE DR. Pepper !!

I need to lose about 20-25 pounds, ok ok 30 would be better LOL, but it's hard considering where I live and what we cooked here. Fried foods, gumbo, rice n, gravy, roux gravies.......hmm yummy food, but bad for your health.

Does anyone have experience with low carb dieting? i decided to try it since I've not been losing for awhile. I'm eating lean protein, veggies, and that's it, but not hungry.
