I need a hug
 

I just got back from the doctors for a check up and have gained 14 lbs since July. I am now a solid 200 lbs. Just a few years ago (when my profile pic was taken) I was all the way down to 160lbs. I am now one pound less than I was when I went into labor with my son in 2000. ...and there ain't no baby in there now for an excuse...

I just did jumping jacks on Jillian Michaels 30-day-shred and I cannot believe how out of shape I'm in.

Ah, well...onward and upward...It ain't gonna be easy, but the doctor scheduled me for a pap smear for March 15th and wants 15 lbs gone. That's all I needed...a challenge from the doctor. :whip:

But, seriously, my underwear is getting too tight. What's up with that!?!?!

((((hugs))))

so many of us have been there and I will shar with you what I have learned this time:

I Will always have to live like a "fat" person...I can never eat like a skinny person. I will ALWAYS have to count calories and I will ALWAYS have to exercise...regardless of reaching my goal weigh.

so hugs abound but brush it off, keep moving, get back on plan and you can get back to your goal!

You can do it!!! Start now and you'll be surprised how fast those 15lbs will come off

:hug: :hug: :hug:

That 200 lb number is just a starting point and with hard work and the determination you're showing right now, you'll never see it again. 15lbs by 03/15 is a completely attainable goal. We're all here if you need support. xoxo

I have a picture of me at 19yrs old and I was a size three in a bikini at around 115lbs. I don't plan on, at 44, being 115 again, but the 140's would be nice to see.

As for the 15lbs, I'm aiming for 20! Time to kick my own butt!

(((hugs))) don't look at the big number, look at the weight you want to lose as mini goals. I remember getting so depressed when I saw how much weight I lost. The last 5 lbs I gained were when I thought I was on a (self made diet) diet.
I know you can do it. Your first goal is a great one. :)

hugs!! you can do it! i agree a goal and a challenge will help. and just think how very close you are to ONEDERLAND! ;)

you can do it!!!

Prove it! ;)

bet the 'ol man has that one stashed away...far-far away......:hug:

hehe...It has to wait till my mom comes back from florida in the spring with the migrating birds. She has the scanner!! I'll post it, though! Should I take my picture in a bikini now for comparison? :fr: I don't think so.... :nono:

I worked my butt off to lose 20 lbs by last summer, and gained 25 lbs. And even when I'd lost the 20, I was still a little overweight but was trying to lose more. I was so depressed and after about 2 months I realized my self-pity was getting me absolutely nowhere and just decided to start losing weight. Believe, after about a week or so of healthy eating and exercising, you get right back in the game... And that, "Can you believe you gained all that weight back?????" voice will shut up. =) Good luck! Go get 'em!
