I feel the same way. I miss the old days where we all checked in daily and helped motivate eachother!

I'm really struggling at the moment and just don't know what to do or where to turn to. I've gained back all the weight I lost and I bit more and I'm slipping back into the self loathing and depression that I used to live with. Mentally and logically I know exactly what I need to do but something is in the way.

Please don't give up.

I am coming back here and I will really need your support.


The plan is to get back up on the wagon as of tomorrow morning. I have let go of myself in many aspects of life in recent months, but I am now seeing a shift in my mood state, and I actually want to make positive changes now!

I will post again tomorrow with a current weight and a plan of action.


I haven't read over all the past posts, but I hope everyone is doing ok.

Good to hear from you Lindor. We miss you xox

YAY so good to see you again Lindor!! Now we just need to get Ani back and things will hopefully get back to normal around here

Congrats on getting under 200 Gen, that's great.

Today I've been doing battle with myself ALL DAY. I'm not hungry but really craving all sorts of food. Very difficult with a cafe right outside my door. So far I haven't relented and there's only 2 hours of the working day to go so hopefully I can stay strong.

woohoo Gen that's awesome What show did you go and watch? I am going for a job interview today - for the job I already have. Office politics. I am employed under a temporary contract and it has ran out, however several permanent positions have opened up. Wish me luck girls. There are a few of us applying for the limited jobs.

Good luck Vonni, that must be nervewracking. Wishing you all the very best!

I have to return my kittens to the shelter tomorrow, and get my laundry done so I can pack. It's so nice to NOT have that "omg, what can I wear, everything is too tight and looks awful" crisis before a trip.. it's been a long time.

Hope everyone is doing ok. Julia - you were always good at going to the gym and getting your exercise done, why don't you concentrate on just getting that restarted and then you can worry about the food again.

OMG Gen, Italy and a private jet? I hate you right now!! Colour me green from head to toe :P Hope you have an awesome time

You're right about the exercise thing Gen and I've started by bringing some walking shoes to work and I've been taking a 30 minute walk each lunchtime. Helps now that the weather is on the improve! It's good too because I'm currently in a really toxic work environment so it's goot to escape from that for half an hour each day.

Canterbury Anniversary day today so no work the weather was absolutely stunning and my man and I went for a big walk around the hills. Took 1 hour 25 minutes and damn near killed me as the last 20 minutes was all uphill! I was actually pretty horrified at how unfit I've gotten but I'm glad that I got out there and did it.

good on ya Julia. Thats a long walk in the first place let alone uphill battle. But yayayayayayayaaayyyyy u did it

OMG, was looking on Facebook and found THE most godawful picture of me from February - this was my absolute fattest! Ugh makes me so sick and sad to see this.

No weigh in for me til next weekend since I'm Italy and don't got no scales!

You've certainly come a long way since February Gen. Good on you! You are looking amazing so be proud of that

Thanks for your encouragement Vonni I tell you, that walk damn near killed me and I'm still sore today!! It's shown me just how unfit I have gotten though and I'm not happy with where I'm at now so there's lots of work to do.

Do you guys remember earlier this year I did a half marathon? Well I've decided that I'm going to do it again next year and I'm thinking about entering the run category this time rather than the walk & run category. That would be a good thing to have to aim for.

Printed out a training schedule and did day 1 today - 10 minute walk / 10 minute jog / 10 minute walk.

I look forward to it getting easier!

GEN you are on facebook? add me u silly

What name's it under?
