Default Starting Fresh (after wallowing in my success)
Hi Ladies,

I have lost 21 lbs to date, which is a great accomplishment for me, but I reached a point a couple weeks ago where I have zero motivation to continue fighting the good fight. So... I have decided to start fresh.

I have changed my Avatar; I removed my old ticker and posted a new one going from my current weight to my goal weight to avoid the excuse, "I've already lost 20lbs. Are the last 10lbs reeaallly that important?". And other dismal ideas.

No more wallowing in my own success! It's time to get my @$$ in gear!!!

Thanks for all of the support and I look forward to beginning the *second* part of my journey with you all!

We are in the exact same situation! I started a little higher than you, lost about 30 and have about 10 to go and I have zero motivation. I feel like I look "good enough" and the extra effort is hard to put forth, especially now that my wedding has past and that was what I was working so hard for in the first place. I am trying to get back into it but this is the first time I have been on this site in a month

It also looks as though I haven't updated my stats in a while either.. I am about 162 right now.

Great idea! I may have to steal it from you ... LOL

Same deal -- lost 30lbs recently and got comfortable. Now I have NO motivation to lose the last 30. Hopefully the starting fresh thing helps me too!

Nice. I have to borrow your turn of phrase. That is what I have been doing, wallowing in my success

I do this all the time. As soon as I start noticing a difference I start getting lazy. Actually, I am already there now! I hit 10 pounds the other day and now my clothes are comfortable again, and its all I can do to keep myself on track.

No more wallowing!

I am right there with you. I was just thinking that I need a rededication. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

Once I was the smallest I had ever been in my life, I totally "hit the wall" motivating wise. "I'd think things like, "It's soooo hard. I'm the smallest I've ever been. It won't matter if I skip today." etc. Not good. So I undestand what you are feeling completely.

When I posted this thread, I was afraid that no one would respond. But, clearly, we have a small "clan" emerging.
