  • Time to challenge those limiting behaviours. I always..... Nope I can.

    My limiting belief.....I only lose weight when I do a cleanse. So now to change that up!

    It's always on my mind but I can't make up my mind about how I want to do this. Clean eating, real eating, plant based.....so many decisions. I want to pick them all but all doesn't' seem to work.

    Exercise is good. Here we go.....
  • Snow - maybe pick some habits that don't seem "too hard" ? And just try them out for afew weeks to a month, you can always switch it up or change more later.

    Jenny - Thanks for bein ga cheerleader


    So on me, I'm up a little from yesterday away from our magical 300 line. My own fault... salt and carb intake... need to get back to basics. Low sodium, lower carb, low cal eating . It's hard when I work out. When I work out I get actually hungry... and for some reason its way harder to ignore than 'normal' hunger.
  • Oye I gained another 2lbs it has to be water weight. I haven't eaten nearly enough to have packed on 7lbs in 2 days. I mean I'm not eating the cleanest but I'm not consuming 8000 calories a day either. I was so close to 300 I swear somewhere deep down I don't want to be less than that.
  • I know what you mean silentartic. I have been bouncing around 300 hundred for several weeks. I think I have finally broken through and fund myself at 293, I have the issue of what I call my "magic numbers". Certain weights bring up a psychological barrier for me. I am not certain why . I do know that I am not the only one. You are not alone.

  • okay back and trying to do this again after a short vacation. i didn't do too much damage so here's to hoping by the end of april I will finally accomplish this goal we have here
  • I keep coming back here because it gives me hope! I can't wait to be thiissss close to 299!
  • I hope all are doing well!!! How have you all been. I am just checking in. I just hit a new "decade" - weighed in at 289.4 this morning... I no longer have to "duck" to be under the 300's . It's really nice. The last few months I haven't lost much, I hit a major plateau, but I took a few weeks off and maintained and now I'm consistently losing. I found that once I started eating MORE I started losing again - awesome.

    Thank you all for support. I know you can DO IT because I did it and I can never finish anything
  • Thanks for the encouragement Jolly. I am still stuck here just above 300... It'll come off soon I hope. I could use that scale based victory .

    Jane - You'll see us here soon I'm sure, you are doing so fab.

    Us tall chicks gotta stick together. (I am pretty much 6' tall.. but I fall like a 1/4 inch shy of that so I'm in denial and say I'm 5'11" shhhh)
    I figure as I get older I'll get shorter and eventually that will be true anyhow...
  • I was on this forum before about a year ago. Came within two lbs of getting out of the 300's and then gained it all back! So...shoot.
  • Hi All! The last few months I've been struggling but hanging on. This past two week have been very stressful, our dog got sick, she's on the mend now after having her uterus taken out last thurs and she's betting better but we had to borrow money we don't have and my husband was away from mon-thur in the city with the dog. I fell twice last week, once at work and then once on ice. I hit my head the first time and then the second time I hurt by back/bum real bad. I took a break from the gym this weekend and really saw how I was struggling and not keeping on track. I was turning to comfort food and had a cigarette with my friends when I was drinking, I only had two beer but I let my guard down. So today I'm back on track and slowly adding each of my goals back in.
  • Sorry you have so much stress snow, hope it gets better soon.

    I'm not feeling the greatest but I really would love to stop flirting with 300 and just get over the line in the next couple weeks. I just need to take things more extreme but I'm not sure I have the energy to do that.
  • This is my second post ever. (:
    So I got on the scales after wondering why none of my clothes fit and I saw the "300s" for the first time in my life. I don't want to be here. I hope I won't be here for long. I'm gonna make getting out of here my first mini-goal. (:
    Glad to have found this forum. Everywhere else I've looked just depressed me with the people griping about weighing 120lbs. Not that if you're very small statured and you like to keep it at 115 is WRONG.. it's just not applicable to me. LOL
    I've started this journey with a very foul attitude. I'm working on it. I have no choice!
  • Bunny you'll be out of the 300's in no time I'm sure. I'm stalled out at 305 right now but hopefully that will resolve itself.

    I just need to get my act together again.
  • Thanks silentarctic! I'm feeling good about it today! Who knows... maybe the scale will surprise me tomorrow!
  • 297.4
    Thank you all for being a blessing to me when I needed it but...
    I'm outta here!
