Saw a picture of myself today
 

I shouldn't be that surprised. I fell off my plan and bounced back up 25 pounds. What a shock! When I don't exercise and I eat junk, I gain.

So, again, back in the saddle.

Hopefully by making my efforts public here I will stick with them. Really, it's not that hard.

1) No fast food. None. That means no!
2) Controlled calories and portions. 1600 cal/day.
3) Run 4 times per week (2 times ain't cutting it)
4) Lift weights 3 times per week.

I'm tired of being fat. It is easy to live in a state of denial, but you know, pictures don't lie.

I'm tired of being fat.

Hey midwife. Cheers to you! Get back in the old saddle and you're going to do great.

i'm with ya girl! i hate seeing pics of myself because then i have to admit there is a problem!

Midwife, that's a winning plan there! Four easy steps to health and fitness - you can do it!!

I promise you'll never get tired of being slim and fit. :D

Sounds like a great plan to me Midwife! Stick with it and I promise you, you won't be disappointed. The rewards far outweigh any and all sacrfices - by alot. You absolutely can do this. It is well within your reach. Good luck!!! :smug:

Yay midwife! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

There is a planning thread going here in support--feel free to post your daily plan there if you think it would help you stay on track.

Good luck!
Jay

You can do it!!!

Yes Midwife!
If you'd like to try all that as a 21 day challenge, here's a link to the first day of one

You can do it !!!!

Thanks guys! So far so good!

That sounds like a great plan, Midwife! Good luck sticking with it - you can do it!

That sounds like a great plan. Stay with it!

let me tell you girl... nothing snaps you back to reality more than a picture. I recently went out with my girlfriends and we took a group picture.. WOW it's like I look at myself everyday but I just had no idea how big I was until I actually saw that picture. use it as motivation!

You can do it! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

I too just had an "AHA" moment with a picture. :(

Well, it looks like you used it to properly motivate you and I applaud your (re) commitment! YOU CAN DO IT! :D

Midwife--I have delivered both my kids with midwives. I know the heart and generosity you must have. LOTS of mamas and babies need you to be healthy--I know you can throw some of that generosity toward your own care!
