Ready to Start Over!

Hi Everybody - Well, I've been off track now for about a month. I am Bipolar (manic-depressive) and well, I haven't been very stable with my mood. This of course affects my eating habits. When I'm depressed or anxious I want to eat to calm my nerves and when I'm manic I normally forget to eat and then I get real hungry so I overendulge. My goal is to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving. I think that is obtainable. That would bring my total to 93 lbs lost. That would be awesome! Anyway, you guys have always been supportive to me and I thank you. Just wanted to say that I hope I can get back on track for good this time.

Take Care, Jena

Jena,

I am with you 100%!! I have been simply maintaining- without a BIG gain for about a month- but I so want to do this! My goal is 15 lbs by the end of October- and I am going to do that by amping up my excercise. Good luck to you!!

That looks like a reasonable goal to me.. Good luck!! You know you can do it Jena because you're already on your way with all those pounds lost. So just pick up from where you left off and continue.

Jena, I'm sorry I know how mood swings can just about affect all that we do. I had a great first week and then I started my period. So this week seems to be a bit harder for me. 10 lbs is totally obtainable. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Cocchi

Hi Jena,

I'm so glad you're feeling better and are ready to jump back on your program. 10 pounds by Thanksgiving is definitely possible; you have the history behind you to tell you that, and my support for what it's worth!

You go!
