Congrats on the pound!!

& there is no time better than right now to change from Lazy to Crazy.. with energy that is!

Yo Jen.....
Yea! U r still losing.... dats a good thing. This week hasn't been reali good for a number of us so just hang in there and know we r here to support n cheer.

ah man i haven't been on here in a while and it's been driving me crazy! daggone internet issues! oh well though, i'm still trying to work on working out lol, slow going but i'm getting there little by little. i need to really kick it into gear for this summer challenge thing, otherwise i'm gonna end up being left in the dust lol.

thanks for the support guys, it really does help

I feel like such a bum, I think I've been avoiding coming to this site because I'm still losing weight, but I'm not doing it in a completely healthy way and I know it. The healthy part is at my job alone, I'm constantly moving, lifting heavy boxes, walking all over the daggone place, and sweating like a pig. The unhealthy part is me hardly eating anything. I'm so busy at work I forget to eat, or when I do it's just a little snacky something or other, and at home we hardly have any food lately because bills are tearing us up since my fiance's been out of work for a couple of weeks. I've lost almost 5 lbs since I've been on this site, almost 8 lbs since I've moved here. I'm happy that I'm losing weight, but I'd be happier if I was doing it the right way. When I get home I don't have enough time to exercise properly.. I need to cut pop out of my diet for sure and just drink water or if i absolutely have to drink something fizzy, make it a diet drink. I think I need to take a progress picture soon...

i'm ashamed to say i've let my life get in the way of my weightloss. i've gone through a lot this year, from breaking up with my fiance, to having a lot of debt on my shoulders, i've had a lot of stress the past 5 months, and as i think i've said before, i'm a compulsive eater when i stress. i don't know how much I weigh right now... not sure i want to know, but i'm going to take some new pictures of myself because i know i've gained everything back and probably more. i need to start fresh. agh.

the pictures.

Sorry to hear you went through some rough days but there is no day like today to start heading towards new goals in life. I'm glad you are back to focusing on yourself. I completely understand about life getting in the way. Just do what you can when you can & always remember to breath.

Your pictures look great. I can't wait to see them when you get happy with you!

thanks for the support moongoddess, it's gonna take me a little while to focus on what i need to do, but just realizing i need to get back on the horse is a step in the right direction.

Well here's my biggest and best opportunity yet to lose weight, and with perfect timing for the weight-loss season: forced exercise. I don't have a choice but to walk for at least 2 hours everyday that i work now, more if i walk on the days that i'm off to meet my boyfriend at work to walk him home. My car was repossessed new year's eve, so i have no choice but to walk wherever i have to go. i'm being optimistic about it by thinking of all the weight i'm going to lose, but it still sucks major balls.

on the bright side, maybe this is what i needed. i'll lose weight from walking. i always have more confidence when i've lost weight, so maybe i'll be able to get a better job somewhere that pays more and gets more hours. if things go right, i can only go up from here. and i'll have more money not having to pay for gas, so that's good....

i would like to add (for my own information as well as anyone who might read this) that the walk is a little more than 5 miles one way, so every day that i walk i'm walking 10+ miles. yay me!

well... that is certainly a way to see the bright side in the situation. Stay positive. This walking is going to pay off. Good luck & I hope you have safe streets.

time for the violins.

i am officially the worst weight loser ever. i have no will power. i can't keep myself motivated. if i start something new i don't do it until it's habit, i do it a couple of times and then quit. i bought resistance cords, a yoga dvd, and i still do nothing. i'm eating all the wrong foods and i know it. shame on me.

so here i am to try again. i haven't been on here in months. bad me, i know. but i'm really gonna try. i'm moving the bookmark from this page out of the miscellaneous file under my mail (which i hardly ever check) to the fun file under my myspace (which i check all the time, pointlessly cuz no one's ever doing anything.)

new goals: spend some time here ever day! follow with workout! stop eating crap!

i love my bf, he's so supportive! we're going to start a new diet together, a low-carb, high-protein diet. i can't wait to start! (yes, clearly i'm in a better mood than i was the other day...) i think i'll run and weigh myself... (yeah, i have clothes on, but i don't care, i'll weigh myself naked later )

*runs off*

*runs back*

eekies! now i'll *have* to weigh myself nakeys cuz i weighed in at 172.6 with 30% body fat. blegh! though to be honest i thought i'd weigh more, with all the crud i've been eating...

okies, so after i hopped out of the shower i went ahead and weighed myself naked.

168.6 lbs!
28.6% body fat!

yay!!! and to celebrate i took a picture! (i'm surprised at how slim i seem, yay for my awesome hoodie, which hides my jiggly tummy. you can still see it a little in my neck)

eekies! so the diet starts TOMORROW!!! i tell ya, there's nothing like doing completely healthy shopping, and throwing out all the bad stuff. it was nuts. tonight's my last night to eat carbs and drink alcohol for two weeks, so tonight i'm gonna go crazy. (not too crazy with the alcohol, i do have to work tomorrow..)

so here goes nothin!
