i feel horrible! i was so depressed today and totally ignored my diet today! i probably gainedb 100 more lbs! I will never meet my goal by easter!! i could beat myself silly!

You all are awseome!!

I have no idea what my goal was. I really don't. I will have to look up the old thread. I was on vacation and ate poorly, so today am jumping back in. I will weight at the end of this week and reevaluate my goals.

Ba99TJ..WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!! You not only met your goal, but you passed your goal EARLY! That is wonderful and am sure your feeling wonderful! And you should.

joshuaswife..We all have those days, believe me. It's hard, as we all know it is. It's a constant roller coaster. But we get no where by beating ourselves up. Increase your water today, go for a walk and smile. One bad day won't end everything. It's not about the 1 good or bad day. It's about all the good days added up together. Keep smiling..

Thanks. I have increased my water today and ate less! I noticed that you have PCOS. I do also. I dont know if you are a mom or not but did you have trouble conceiving?

jw..Hello. I recently got divorced from my husband, but yes I had/have infertility problems. It was the main reason why I began the journey to lose weight and get healthy.
I didn't have my own cycle for over a year, and after I lost about 45 lbs my cycles returned but we couldn't conceive. We (I) went through 8 months of infertility treatments, including injections. My doctor was very hopeful and my body was reacting to all of the meds, but we were not succesful. Sad to say now, I know why we weren't. Sometimes prayers go unanswered for certain reasons. During my seperation and after my divorce, I gained about 32 lbs back, and walah, my cycles vanished again. I was on Metformin while I was going through treatments when I was married, which seemed to help alot. I since threw out my entire treatment plan when my doctor relocated. I am now searching for a new doctor so I can get treatment. Wether we are trying to concieve or not, it is very important to create a "treatment" plan, wether it be meds or just a lifestyle change.

The one thing that kept me sane (at times I wasn't, ask anyone here! lol), the one that did was that I knew that there were women and men with greater odds against them that were succesful. I always felt in my heart that one day I will be a Mother. Just takes us a little bit more work and time. Stay strong and know, your not alone.

So can we make up another holiday or come up with another "goal" holiday between Easter and Memorial day?? That's just wayyy too long of a stretch for me.

BethAnne-I was gonna say Mothers Day but not everyone is a mom-you are right it is a long time for a goal (the end of May) and mothers day is only a few weeks before that... How about May 1st..I think some people have May Day celebrations-hey why not?? Oh and congrats again on reaching goal so early!!

Jennifer-I am seperated so I guess I can imagine how your divorce/seperation was. I am sorry you werent able to conceive but maybe it was for the best like you said. I bet your true soul mate is out there who will make it all worth the wait when you have your child one day. I have a son who will be 7 in April and it has been hard going through all of this with a kid especially vistation, holidays, etc.. good luck to you!!

joshuaswife-I hope you are feeling better about yourself-dont beat yourself up nobody is perfect!

Me, I am going to join weight watchers ((again)) today. I got something in the mail from them that said ten weeks for xx amt of money and that got me thinking since my cruise is 10 weeks away. I am not doing so hot on my own--The first 37 pounds are off but that's it-I am at a stand still without feeling much inspiration. The cruise is getting closer and I WOULD like to look better in those pictures!!

good luck and I will check back on Easter (or before!) you guys try to think of our NEXT goal ---what day do we want??
