I've noticed that alot of us have been using the when-I'm-doing-well term lately (myself included).

I confess that I end up in a slump way to often diet wise.I can do awesome for a few weeks...but then something comes up or I just tire of it and give up.Heck,I would probably be a lot closer to goal if I could just STAY ON my healthy eating more then two weeks a month(give or take),lol.

I know what you mean, Rely. I have found myself there, too. I've been hovering between 205-210 for a few months now. It's disappointing, especially because I'm going to Calgary in 3 weeks, and I have to find a bathing suit that I can feel semi-confident in!! Last year I had figured out that if I lose 7 pounds a month until it's time to go on our trip, I'd be so close to my goal! But that didn't happen, and I haven't lost a substantial amount for months now. I'll admit that I could have tried harder. I have yet to get myself on a regular exercise routine. Also, I have not been counting my carbs, which is something that I plan to start doing again. And I've been eating way too much low carb icecream!!! At least I've been cheating with "legal" things, but it doesn't make me feel much better! So it's my day off today...I plan to count my carbs and get lots of exercise!!!! And, my biggest goal is, I'm going to enjoy myself on my trip, too, despite weather or not I feel comfortable in a bathing suit!!! Thanks for this thread, Rely!! ~Sabrina

Mel, I had no idea you lost so much weight! That is so awesome!!! You should be so proud of yourself for how far you've come. You've lost over 100 pounds and that has to feel awesome! I just wanted to give you a pat on the back because you're so quiet about your weight loss and you don't get the attention that others who have also lost a lot of weight get. Go Mel!! You deserve to celebrate your accomplishment (just not with food lol!)

Ok, I guess it's my turn lol! Well, I haven't been doing as well in the exercise department lately. I have all these good intensions, and then never follow through. I could make excuses like I don't have time, or I'm too tired after working all day, but the truth is I can find the time, and the energy if I really want to. So tonight when I get home from work, I'm going to do one of my exercise tapes (don't know which one yet, I'll decide that later). I'll come back here and let you guys know when I'm done so that I can be accountable. Get on my case if you don't see a post from me telling you that I did my tape! I'm counting on you guys lol!

Whew! I feel better now.

I don't have any big confessions. I'm doing well, and for me there's been no turning back, so progress has been steady. I have a little confession though, I guess. I always eat breakfast (3 good meals a day) but this morning I slept in and it's past lunchtime and I still haven't had so much as a cup of coffee. Not feeling well really isn't an excuse, and so I'm only going to be online a few minutes and then I'll have to force myself to have something. But breakfast is shot, so it's gunna have to be brunch. The other mini confession.....I should start tracking my meals again in a food diary, and remembering to step on the scale in the morning. I'm doing great, in terms of weight, but I haven't been paying much attention to detail lately, haven't been writing it down. I've had some health problems, and those have taken center stage. And we're coming upon the first anniversary of a death in my family, and that's looming large for all of us.

Do I start this like an AA meeting? Sure what the hell.

Hello my name is Brenda and I am obese. Well that did make me feel any better.

I have been off the plan for probably three weeks now. My life is so screwed up I can't seem to get ahold of anything. I was hoping to gain control of my eating, but it seems that it has a hold of me. I bought cookies yesterday. I've eaten almost all of them already. Well there's my confession as pathetic as it is. I know I have to do this. Pray for me to get a hold of this one aspect of my life. One good thing is is that I am averaging 80oz of water a day. Take care everyone.

Hugs, Brenda

Hugs, Brenda
