Back Again!

[TangerineDreams]

Well, well, I left this site last year thinking I had it all together. I had lost nearly 50 lbs and thought I was ok. Guess what? I left my support group and now I am almost back to my high weight [img]images/smilies/icon_redface.gif[/img]
You know ... now I am just sick and tired of being a big girl.
I recently moved to NYC and now that the weather is getting warmer and the woredrobe is getting thinner, I am at really at a loss for why I let myself and this wonderful program go.
Today is my first day (back at this).
I started the day with a nice one hour walk through Central Park, had a solid breakfast, a light lunch, and a wonderful dinner. All within the rules.
Please help me stick to my program this time.
You guys are all wonderful and I know with your support I will reach my goal.

Re: Back Again!

Hugs to you!

Moving is a tramatic experience...no matter where you move to.

I'm glad you found your way back

What a great way to start off back into a great routine of this woe...exercise! Sounds like this is a great time of year to walk through CP. Are there flowers blooming, or is it mostly trees? I've never been. I'm such a novice. lol.

Best wishes on your journey, and don't forget to plan ahead, check out the websites for low carb recipes and enjoy cooking again

Re: Back Again!

Hi All,
I am joining up. I was avid member before and had lost 57 pounds on the WOE. I can't say I have a good excuse, but I blew it and gained it back. I will not wallow in how awful I feel, but tell you that I kicked myself in the butt last week and did the strictest induction and lost 7 pounds. I know that is mostly water, but boy do I feel good about it. I had 3 square meals. I did not have any snacks. I drank water(always a problem for me), eliminated splenda, cream cheese and anything else that potentially stalled me from before to get a jump start. I did cardio every day and some weight training in addition.

If you want more info including what I am eating, lemmeno.

I hope more people will get active on this section so we can support each other.

Re: Back Again!

Bonnie - That's fabulous!!

I could not start with Induction because of migraine. I prolly should do it now, since I'm into ketosis. Maybe we should get a group together to do a really strict Induction like you did? Or maybe a Boot camp would be good for me....

We do need to encourage each other. I know I could not have gotten going before without this board, and I would have cheated my heine off (no, ON) this week without the help here!

Tangerine, keep up the good work!! A walking buddy is GREAT and will keep you accountable! Remember, he/she is counting on YOU, too. Even if you feel like giving up for yourself, maybe the accountability will keep you going.

This is a great forum, but it should be called the "Whatever"-Time-Around Club for some of us.

Re: Back Again!

Smaller,
A group would be great and we could check in daily. I'm in!

Re: Back Again!

When to start? I didn't check in til now, and I ate stuff at a church potluck already.... kind of maintenance food and certainly not Induction.

I'm game to start tomorrow but Tuesday or Wednesday would be better so I can shop and get rid of OWLy foods I like.

Anyone else in?
