just a little support
Hello! I have not been on here in months! Life just got to busy and I forgot about taking care of myself. I started out at 321 and was down to 208, but gained weight after beeing back with the family for three weeks so now I am at 217. That sucks. I know why!! I dont dump on anything really. And I make the worst choices that I possibly could. I grazed all the time and didn't seem to care. But I do!! I need to be at 148 and I am going to be. I don't know why I have forgotten to take care of myself, but I dont get enough water, forget to take my vitamins, don't exercise and just act like it's not a big deal that I had surgery almost 11 months ago. I have made some really big changes. I quit my job as a veterinary tech (not as active as I use to be) to go back to school to finish my degree. So money is sooo tight on just my husbands marine corps pay check. But we make to much for any finacial aid. So things are crazy here and I feel the need to get a job again even though I know we can make it, we just have to cut back alot!! I really want to take the next year to finish my degree and to focus on my eating and exercise, and I think I might need some help along the way. So I am back, and hopefully you guys dont mind! Thanks

Brandy, we don't mind at all. Glad you are back, support is essential for each of us and we need to be there to remind each other how important it is to eat protein, drink our water, take vitamins and exercise.
I think many of us probably got a little relaxed during the holidays, I for one am glad it's over for another year.
Get back to basics....protein, vegetables and fruit, get rid of the bad carbs, 64+ oz of water and day and at least 30 minutes of exercise (ok, I'm guilty here I do move but not near as much as I should).
Refocus on the wonderful year you've had....step up to the plate and know that you are in control and now it takes work, the weight won't come off as easy as it did the first 6 months, not that the journey is easy but the honeymoon period is the quickest weight loss and we're all pass that time.
You can do it....wishing you the best.

Dana gives good advice So rather then repeat her, I will just say do what she says lol. I myself don't dump on anything either and I gained 4 lbs over the holidays and still need to lose one more pound to be where I was before! At least you have the courage to come here and post - you know what you need to do Work that tool!
