Guess I'm officially a STAC memeber..

[adreliluc]

I won't lie, I never thought I'd be a memeber of STAC...
But lookie, here I am.
Sucks... but it's all trial and error I guess.
What matters is that we're all still here, never giving up!

I know none of us expected to be back here, but you're right, what is important is that we came back, and didn't give up. I must say that this time around I feel like I am approaching it with more calm, determination and intelligence. The last time was more of a "I'll try this way to loose weight", this time it's a committed WOL.

Hope to see you on our daily check in

Me too!! I feel much wiser this time around and know what what held me back before and what I need to do to finish this!!

I will try my best to make it to daily check-in's.

Welcome back!! I'm going to join you in daily check ins. I haven't done that in quite some time. It's time to go back to that. I felt better signing on once a day and holding myself (and my friends here in STAC) accountable. It just got so depressing to me. Many of the people I started with are nowhere to be found anymore and I miss those old days!! Who am I kidding though? They'll probably head back here after New Year's!!! Might as well be there posting and waiting for them, eh??? I've been loving your posts tonight! So glad you're back and in the groove!!

Awesome, lets do it! We'll check in and be accountable! I think it really helps too...

I know what you mean about so many of the old people MIA. It's really sad, I hope they find their way back too... It's not quite the same without them...
But at least we're here.

WTG on your stats btw, pretty close to where I am and where I want to be.

LOL!! That's what I was thinking about your stats!! It took me 7 months to get down 70 lbs. Stagnation....ever since. Thought about changing my user name to EverMaintaining. So, hang in there. You know the losses can happen in a flash and after you've lost quite a bit...at least you can enjoy your new body being "close" to goal. I do get joy out of that and while the scale is a to me, I can see and feel my body is still changing and shrinking. I'll take it!!!!

Re: Guess I'm officially a STAC memeber..

Dang girl 70 lbs in 7 months is awesome!!!
LOL @ EverMaintaining... I know how that is though, I maintained my loss for about 2 years (if bouncing around the same 10 lbs or so is maintainin lol) but never could get below 175.. GRRR!
I don't even know if it's possible for me to get lower!!
But I'm hopeful.
The scale hates me too. I HATE the scale. yet I'm such a scale wh*ore... I swear though I can gain and lose 5+ lbs in a day. I retain so much water if you wrung me out I'd make a puddle! lol
But as long as we see results we're good...

Re: Guess I'm officially a STAC memeber..

Hello! Thank you.
So far I really like it here... I don't feel quite as guilty about slipping up. Don't get me wrong, I hate it and want to really get back on track but it's like I can be a little more human here.. if that makes sense? lol

Re: Guess I'm officially a STAC memeber..

Hey there!
LOL I don't think you're nuts for starting before the holidays. When I first started it was Dec 8th, 2005. I lost 17 or 18 lbs those first 2 weeks... totally worth it!
