Hey Sky, glad to hear you're back on track.

Amanda, maybe you can make working out a family affair so you don't have to go downstairs alone?

Hey Sky, I wanted to check in and let you know that I'll be away for about a week or so. I'm going on a cruise with lots of food so I'm not gonna set unrealistic goals and say that I won't indulge, but I will get back on track when I return so I'll chat with you when I get back. Have a happy holiday.

Hi Sky,

I'm new to this forum. I found this site accidently while looking for diets on the Internet. I too am struggling to lose weight. So I'm hoping this will help me. I have about 30 lbs. to lose so I can feel healthy. My main goal is to feel strong and fit, but I'm so lazy.

Well, keep your chin up and keep on truckin'.

Hi Darb! Glad to have you here! Join in anywhere.

To other newbies also... welcome

Hi Darb,

Welcome, weight loss is definitely a struggle but I bet you will do great. This site has really helped me along . Well gotta get back to work. Ski

Hey Sky, I'm back. I see you lost another pound. THAT'S GREAT! I don't think I did too bad while I was on vacation. I made it a point to eat only when I was hungry and I tried hard to use portion control. However I did have quite a few sugary alcoholic drinks. I'll weigh in tomorrow for the official numbers.

Well Sky, I did gain my 3 lbs back while on vacation, but that's ok. This week I'm back at it full force I updated my mini-goal because I'd like to buy a sexy dress to wear on my bf's b-day. I've got my motivation back

HI Chanell,

Glad to see you back. Sorry I havent posted lately just been kinda hetic lately. 3lbs not to bad. Your new goal is great motivation. I have been doing okay couple times I have eating out and havent picked the best selections so we will see how that effected me. Well I better go. Talk to ya laters.

I totally understand about the hectic days. The sad thing about my situation is that I have a treadmill right next to my bed and I've been making excuses and putting off using it. So, to stay on track I've set a daily goal that I can live with since my problem seems to be inconsistency. I'll try to let you each evening how my day went. I'm going to walk/jog on the treadmill for 1 mile in the morning before work and for 1 mile in the evenings after work. This will be much healthier than lying in the bed (which is literally 3 feet away) and snacking while I watch tv. My eating habits haven't been too bad so I'll continue to make healthier choices and stay away from fried foods and fast food. I think that if I stick to my exercise regimen I should see results even with a splurge every now and then. Hope you had a great day.

Hey Sky, haven't heard from you in a while, hope all is well.

Hi chanell,
Well sorry I havent been posting as much I have been so busy but hopefully everything is calmer now. I have been just maintaining my weight havent reallly lost or gained but I havent been able to really count points I feel like I have been just running around every where. Well I hope your doing. Catcha laters Ski

Hey Sky, It's great that you're able to maintain even during stressful times. Hopefully things get easier for you soon.
