My journey to a great summer body.

Its been a long time and I am going to try this again.  I have gained so much weight to the point of my being uncomfortable with myself.  My main issue is not being able to get and stay motivated.  I promised myself that would never get this heavy again and I am on an upward spiral.  I know that I have the ability to be successful, its just about me doing it.  It seems as if I always have a excuse.  Now, everyone around me is losing weight and looking great and I

Today is my 41st birthday  and man do I feel good.  I haven't worked out since Thursday and today I went and did a hour on the elliptical in the aerobic mode. It felt great, so I am back on track with my workouts and tracking my diet.  I am going out tonight for my birthday but I will try to make good decisions  while out.  I will let you know tomorrow.  Have a great week everyone and good luck.

Well I am trying to stay motivated.  I dont really crave sweets or anything like that, so that doesnt seem to be my problem.  I have this pound that I keep gaining and losing.  I think once I get over this hurdle it will continue to go downhill from there.  Just gotta get there.  I havent been tracking my meals since Thursday and I have worked out since Thursday.  Tomorrow is my 41st birthday and I will spend the beginning of it in the gym doing my hour ...

Here I am feeling a little down because on Saturday I was down to 257 and then I gained on Sunday and Monday.  This fluctuation is killing me slowly. Getting on the scale daily is an addiction and sometimes I feel so defeated if the numbers don't go the way I want them to especially when I am following my diet and exercising.  I am been going strong since I started and for that I am very proud because I would have usually quit by now.  I am determined to change my way ...

  I got on the scale this morning and I almost fell over when I saw that I had gained weight.  I worked out on Saturday and Sunday and ate pretty good.  I had to go back and look at my food log.  I realized that on Saturday I didn't eat breakfast and...

I started this weight loss journey on January 25th and I am almost 1 month out.  This is probably the longest that I have been on any plan.  I have never felt so motivated.  Before I eat things, I look at the nutrition label first and I never did that before.   I have lost a total of 19.2 lbs so far and I am so proud of myself.  I have been going thru some stressful things in my life and often worried that it would effect my weight loss efforts.&

This is my 3rd week and I still doing well.  The weekend was good because I had no temptation of chocolate or things like that.  On Sunday, my son and I went to IHOP for breakfast.  I did really well because I ate off of the healthy menu which consisted of scrambled egg substitutes, 2 slices of turkey bacon and 2 pancakes.  It was a total of 400 calories.  I was really proud.  We hung out so long that day that I didn't feel like cooking dinner so we orde...

This attempt at weight loss had been a journey so different from ones in the past that I am extremely thrilled with the way things are going.  My dietitian put me on the Exchange system diet and I really like it.  At first I really didn't understand how it was to work, but with the wonderful tool we call the Internet, I was able to find information that really explained it to me.  My biggest issue was I didn't know how to incorporate other foods other than the gener

  Well today is the first day of my 2nd week using fitclick and I am happy that I have continued to track my food and workouts.  I gained 2 pounds over the weekend because of drinking and eating the wrong types of food while drinking.  The great part is that I still worked out, I still wrote down what I ate and just jumped back in where I left off.  Normally I wou...

I didn't do too well this weekend.  Weekends are the hardest for me to follow what I have done all week.  One is I go out and drink, not to mention eating White Castles late at night.  Yesterday, I ate one meal and then a few wings later on that night plus one drink.  Either I need to stop going out or I need to come up with a plan on the weekends.  Since not going out isn't an option, I guess I need to come up with a plan to make the weekends as successful as during the...
