Hello everyone! I'm new to the board, and am just looking for SUPPORT and MOTIVATION!! I'm starting back up on WW after a 5ish year hiatus. I lost about 15 lbs the first time around, and have done so great at maintaining my weight now... or plateauing, depending how you lok at it. My boyfriend is also using WW loosely - he's lost 150lbs in the last 3 years, and wants to lose about 20 more, so we're tryyyying to be a support team, but we cheat way too often!
So, with summer approaching, all I want to do is lose 5-10lbs. Seems easy enough, right? WRONG!! I have no willpower! "I want one cookie.. just one cookie.. well, if 1 cookie, why not 10 cookies?" It's awful! Especially being a college student with graduation one month away, the stress factor is high, as well as "convenient eating" like vending machines. Also, it's an age-old excuse but it's true, I just dont have the time to exercise. When I get 2 hours of free time, I would muuuuuch rather sit there and breathe with a movie than hop on the elliptical. And if I get the real chance to hit the gym, I think "What good will one time do?" and go get a pedicure instead. My day-to-day activity level is decent though - I'm a nanny, so I chase around a toddler 20hrs a week, and run around school/errands in between.
I need all the helpful motivating tips you've got! It doesn't help that my boyfriend is the greatest guy, one of those "I'll love you no matter what you look like, sweetie" types, hahaha. Thanks so much everyone!
