I'm back!!!
 

Heya! I’m back! :D

I fell off track in October and struggled to find motivation through the holidays. I have a co-worker that is on maintenance at my same center. She and I were emailing recently and she asked how I was doing. I couldn’t find a good excuse why I was off-program so I got in my car right then and drove over to my center. The center manager was wonderful and gave me back the 6 weeks that I missed, which was great since I put almost all of the weight that I had lost back on. They started a 21-day challenge and I joined that too. I’m on day 14 (which included 4 days of per-conditioning) and I’m chugging right along, having said good bye to 5 lbs already.

I was at David’s Bridal this weekend to look for a dress with my Mom and it was a horror show of mirrors. I know I'm overweight but I didn't think I looked *that* bad. Well, I didn't like at all what I saw in those mirrors so I'm using that as a motivator to stay on track too. You see, my sister is getting married in October and I have this dress that both haunts and motivates me. It’s a size 14 from H&M so it shouldn’t be that far from fitting. (I’m normally a 16-18) But even her skinny bridesmaids are finding their size 2’s and 4’s to be tight too. It’s bad enough that I’ll be a 41-year old bridesmaid with a bunch of barely 30-year old…so I’d at least better be looking good!

Not every day is perfect but I’m focusing on one good choice at a time. :) I’m adding in more exercise and even got up early to work out in the morning.

I'm looking forward to catching up with those I know who are still around, and getting to know the newer members too. :)

Good luck!

Welcome back meazie! I look forward to getting to know you too and traveling this journey together.

Welcome back. I'm maintaining at this point and very surprised that the scale doesn't change when I eat things in moderation that I believe to be nit the best choices for me.

Hey meazie you can do it, you did it before you can do it again!!! I'm in maintenance now, hard to believe!! Went in to maintenance jan 4th, still doing great! Just remember we are all here to support you in good or bad!!! :hug:

Congrats on making it to maintenance! SO proud of you!! :carrot::carrot::carrot:

Meazie- I'm going to the Colorado Springs MRC. Are you anywhere nearby? ;)

I'm actually live up North in FTC so I go to that one. But my hubby is from Co Springs.

I like it here in the Springs. My center is great. I was just in FTC last weekend! Want to go back when the tree are green.

Well let me know when you come up again and maybe we can meet for a walk around City Park Lake :)
