I'm back, and need support

Getting back on the horse is a daily thing for me. It is really tough sometimes. I am just back on the weight loss journey again after gaining a bunch of weight while sitting around depressed. Now I still have to work at the chronic depression but feel cruddy about myself and the way I look. I wish DH would be more sensitive to my feelings and need to lose this weight.

Hi Everyone and Deb,
I'm back and need to lose 43 lbs. I set a short term goal for 21 lbs. by April 22. I know what I'm suppose to do, but haven't been doing it. I've been going to the gym... and skipping meals, and eating fried foods, and too much of it. I have a lot of major life changes going on in my life, things i am powerless over. I can control what I put in my mouth and how much exercise I get. So here's to a fresh start, and new beginnings for me.

Thanks so much Metalmama, that's how much I want to lose as well, 40 would be even better. The Zumba class is really fun I hope that you enjoy it too :) Good luck to you as well !!

I'm just getting back too. I've gained 35 lbs and feel like a beached whale. I'v had some issues with my fibro flaring. They changed up my meds and I'm feeling like I can get back into the groove of working out. I just have to remember to take it easy as I go. I've printed out my meal planner for the week and will be shopping tomorrow, and cooking for the week. Good luck to you. Zumba sounds fun. I'll have to look for a video

Thanks Beb.. yep I love it alright, it's an amazing class. High energy, and even though I may have 2 left feet, I know that as long as I'm going I'll pick up the steps eventually :) I appreciate your encouragment !

I just started back on sparkspeople,,,goodness the pounds are easy to get back but so are to rid of them again....YOU WILL LOVE ZUMBA

Mommasport, so sorry about your difficult divorce. I hope everything works out for you I really do. My daughter has just gone through hers, and my goodness, it was a rough time for her as well. You have my support anytime :)

Yes you will this horse will go the distance! Zumba will get it going!

Thanks very much ladies ! Tonight is my first Zumba class; hoping for energy after work to do this :) My daughter will be my support for this one ......she's the best ! I'm going to take this horse all the way to the top of that big mountain !

Hugs Deb

Welcome back! Good for you getting back on the horse. All that matters is that you are working towards a goal of good health and we are here to help you! You can do it!

Take each day at a time .... Forgive yourself!!

I'm pulling for you !

My ex boyfriend and I may get back together...it's complicated.., But I was thin and svelte last time we saw each other!
I want to feel more comfortable ... so 30 pounds would be tolerable..
I can't do it without working out everyday ! I need to focus on each 3 pounds!



So that is some motivation... I need support too ... many months of a difficult divorce !

Hi everyone :) I'm back with a need to lose the weight I gained back. I gained 30 lbs due some stressful life changes. With support and staying power I can overcome the weight once again; but I know I can't do this alone. I'm not familiar with some of the page setups etc...so I hope I posted on the right page ... :)
