10 months out and lost my mind

HEY BAF!!!
Soooo been gone for a min lurkin here and there but this is a New Year and New Me.....Again

I've been at a stall which now that I think about it.........it's lasted almost 4 months  I didnt realize it had been that long until I read my blogs.

It's way to early in the game to have back slid but I did it and did it hard. But I holding myself accountable for my actions and I getting my ish together. I know my sleeve works but I havent been working the body that holds it.

For some reason Ive become addicted to Starbucks...they are the devil

Im down 80 pounds with about 80 more to go I think I don't have a goal weight in mnd.

My plan is to follow an Atkins type of diet...I need to shake these carbs.

Also get up close and person with my ON DEMAND work out videos....

And last but not being more active on BAF!!!!

Welcome back sounds like a plan to me! I too find that when I stay connected to this support system it helps me focus on my journey. 2011 will be our year 2 reach our WL goals.

You are in your 'Tweens'.  No longer a newbie.  Not yet a vet.  Tired of the post op diet.  Farther from goal than you want to be.  Sick of folks gloating about how fast they made goal when you may need a couple of years to suceed. 

Hang in there and know it will happen if you stick with it.  Literally exercise your @$$ off.  Change up your diet every few weeks for variety and to limit stalls.  If you over eat certain foods cut them out of your life.  Accept that you just can't handle them. 

Set mini goals and objectives frequently and make sure your behavior is in sync with those objectives.  This way you can mearsure your progress.  Not all goals are in pounds.  Consider behavioral goals that support your weight loss as well.  Things like not eating in bed, while watching tv, or at the computer. 

You can and will do this.  It is within your control. 

MSW, you are such as inspiration, I truly thank you for your post.  Kells I am 11 months out and 26llbs from goal.  I am trying to  not to stress it because look how far I have came.  This is truly a journey.  For me somewhat emotional, I pray for all our success it can be done. If I dont reach my goal in February i know eventually I will it wont be because I didnt try! 

  Thanks luv!  It took me 508 days.  We knew it would be hard but many of us thought it would not be so slow.    Never stop trying.  Never give up. 

 I LOVE this post. I've forced myself not to compare myself to others as to how fast or slow I lose weight, just as long as I lose it!. This is not a race, it's about learning to love myself again and making the necessary changes to get to where I want to be.

Thank you for being such as inspiration.

Thanks!!!!  MSW I swear you were reading my mind lol But I will do it and going to get this body moving

You look wonderful Kells. You have come so far and it definitely within your reach to get to whereever you want to go. I know for me...even though I am not at goal....I feel so much better (healthier) and its no longer an effort to look and dress great! Keep it up.

Great to have you back   It seems that you have thought your plan out and you're ready to get started.  I'm proud of you! Keep up the hard work and keep us informed!

Take Care
