I'm back and need some encouragement

[Mermaid02]

I did great for a while this winter exercising every day- didn't lose much weight though and although I felt better, with no weight loss (or very little) I got discouraged and stopped. Now I've gained those 10 pounds back and I feel just as lethargic as ever. I look at my elliptical trainer and I dread the thought of getting back on it. It's really the easiest exercise on my degenerating hips though.

I'm doing WW online and I bought a few "staples" today for the pantry. I found out recently that the Log Cabin sugar free syrup is pretty good and takes the calories from 210 to 35

I'll be 40 on December 3rd and I really want to be PROUD of myself on that day. I want to feel strong and confident as I head into my 40's.

Any comments are welcome!

It will come as no consolation that the older one gets the harder it is to shake the poundage! I used to be able to drop weight in a snap but find it's just sooo difficult now.

I belong to a gym and feel so much better when I exercise--even though I don't drop much weight, it does firm the body and gives me more energy.
Now I'm an thinking about adding step arobics to help burn calories.

Good luck to you!

back!! missed ya!!

i know there are times that i have to be reminded to be ok with making the right choices b/c i feel so much better even when i'm not getting the weight loss results. this year has been one of those times for me too -- we can just hang out and encourage one another through this, i truly believe the results WILL come if we continue the right choices!

You can do this. Don't give up. You take it one step at a time and keep at it. I WISH you success on this journey.

You might take your elliptical and schedule yourself for 15-30 minutes and just get on with it. Don't allow yourself an excuse and before long it will become your habit.

Go for it!
