Yes, I have been fooling myself this past month that I have been following my plan. I have had more off days than on, more lazy days than active. This past weekend was the kicker. I totally reverted back to my old self. I am stopping this NOW, which is a victory in itself. Usually I would go on for another 6 months to a year before I realized that I was totally going backwards. So I'm claiming today, May 29th, as my official restart day. No more games, no more laziness, no more excuses. It's time to make this change permanent.
Oh, I am RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. Today marks one week. I really did do good last week - exercised more than I ever have in my life, but I was travelling this weekend and Sunday my food choices were NOT my choices but I really kept my portions low, and felt good about it. But then yesterday I don't know what happened. Plan, what plan? There's a plan? ALL old habits. Today, being exactly one week later, I got on the scale and I am up exactly 2 lbs since I started last week. I debate whether it can be one day that did it, water weight, soreness from exercise - I don't know! BUT I said, well, that's okay - I can do it today!
Me too. I had a dismal week last week and then the weekend was the capper. I am stating to one and all that May 29 is recomittment day. I will eat my planned 3 meals & snacks and drink all my water and move my butt today.
You can do it, Tiffany! Look how far you have come already. No need to throw all that down the drain just because of some down days. Pat yourself on the back for taking charge and getting back on course. I know you can do it!!
Congrats on renewing your commitment to your health!! Many of us have gone off our healthy routines, but not all of us have the courage to admit it!! You can do it!!

Don't wait another day! Restart again right now. In another 6 months to a year, you could be soooo much closer to your goals. Congrats on catching yourself before it goes too long. That is one of the hardest parts of losing weight.
Tiffany I'm sorry you've been struggling the past month. Good for you for recognizing it and putting a halt to it. NOW. Before it does goes any further. I would start a healthy eating plan and then, well - stop and I wouldn't even ATTEMPT to restart for like you said, 6 months, maybe a year. What was up with that?
You don't need to let one more day go by. Times a wastin'. Time really does fly by and just think if your get yourself restarted TODAY where you really can be in 3 months time. Or six months time. A year from now. It really IS exciting to think of the possibilities! Good luck Tiffany. You CAN do this.
You can do this Tiffany!!! I was bad yesterday "on purpose". There wasn't even a second thought to get back OP today. You've done so well already. We'll be here to cheer you on!

Tiffany, I'm soooo proud of you for recognizing that you need to get back on track, and doing it!! Think of how many times we've all lost weight in the past and then got off track and STAYED off. Now that we have 3FC and this renewed commitment and we have each other for support, we never have to do that again. We may get off track dozens of times in our future, but OUR LIVES HAVE CHANGED. Don't forget that. You will NEVER stay off track again -- you will always get back to what you know is best for you, because you know how to be successful at this! Look how fantastic you've done so far!!
I agree with everyone else. Great job, Tiffany! Think about how much farther you are in your mindset just to be able to recognize and reprioritize so quickly! BRAVO!!!
You can do this. Like you, I'm restarting to. No better time that right at this moment. It's about each moment, each day. Hang in there. You can do this!
Good job Tiffany! It's so tough to admit that we've been off track sometimes, but recommittment is a beautiful thing! I'm proud of you, and we all know you can do it!
Restart!
