The thing is I must have pulled a muscle a couple months ago, because after I exercise and/or when I lay down this one part of my back hurts so bad I can't take it! I want to exercise before one of my exams tomorrow but I don't want to be in so much pain when I go to school at 2 cause I would be in pain the rest of the day! My doctor said to give it a couple more months ugh....also I have a daughter, I'm vegan and hypothyroid...the supplements don't help with my energy or anything it stinks

hihi!!! I totally understand what you are going through. Myself have went from 470lbs to 280lbs and back to 370!!! Its a tough road but we can do it!!! I have faith in everyone including myself!

Hi Kids!!

I hadn't weighed myself since mid November. And now I know why we need to weigh ourselves regularly. I was 195. Crikey!! Wrong Direction!!!

Thank goodness for Christy because now i have to weigh in next week. I have kept up with my C25K though. Or else I might have crept back over 200 and that would have wounded me.

Slimming - I feel for you and the clothes, trying everything on and nothing looking right. I sure hope you pulled yourself out of your funk! You are going to WIN this fight!!!!!! hang in there!!!!!

Haley - How were your exams? Is your back better?

Tamara - How are you doing with WW??

We can do this!!! My scale is NOT going backwards again. SHEEEESH!!!

christymourning-Yaay we can do it!

Realme2010- my exams were ok thanks i ended up with A A A- B my back wasn't hurting last night for the first time in 3 months lol I'm going to exercise today and see if it hurts 20 minutes after, that will be the real test lol

I was doing WW...sort of..I didn't actually stick to it for more than a couple days so I'm going back to calorie counting ugh I'm going to start with 2000 I think and then see what happens and adjust if I need to. I know I've been eating well over 2000 lately lol oops!....Christmas will be a challenge but I'll still try to count and if I go over...well at least I'll be accountable for it!

yesterday I ate 2322 calories but there were lots of vegetables and fruit in there and I kept track which is a first for the last month....let's try for day 2...I exercised yesterday did 32 minutes of the walk at home dvd and yes I was hurting shortly after *sigh*

thank you! the last couple of days I've been so busy cleaning etc because my daughter is home tomorrow for school vacation so I don't want to have to do it then.

I signed up for my first 5k of 2010...I ran this race this year so at least I know what to expect from the course, it's not easy there are a few big hills but I can do it lol It's on March 20th the Shamrock Shuffle.

Happy New Year's everyone!

I'm back and (hopefully) did not pack on too much during the time away. I had a great vacation during the last two weeks. While I ate well and abundantly, I didn't binge. My exercise plans did not pan out as often as I initially believed; yet, I wasn't a "couch potato!"

I'm so ready to dive back into my routines.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I've been wondering where everyone is myself lol. I haven't been the greatest diet and exercise wise but yesterday was good. I've started tracking my food on fitday and am journaling on the johnstonefitness forums. Also I'm going to make a commitment on stickk.com with money maybe $30. I CAN'T afford it, that's a lot of money to me or maybe I'll do $50 to really scare me lol. I'll commit to doing exercise x amount of days and eat no more than 2000 cals a day with one cheat meal a week and make the commitment for 3 months at a time so i have the potential to lose $600. I don't want to do it with weight loss exactly because bodies fluctuate you know, I don't want a fluctuation to cost me $50!!! lol or if I exercise and then my body retains water, I lost $50 because of that, I don't think so lol
