I dont even know where to beginn. Im a big girl. Lossing weight is a BIG battel for me. I think at one point ill have it all figured out. I start loosing the weight and when I do I start feeling good about my self and then i just stop. I cant even tell you why i do that. I need to a loose a lot of weight. I probably have 150 lbs to loose to be at a healthy weight. I know in my heart that i want loose the weight to be healthy. But I dont know why I cant do it. It started out this last time knowing that I was going to wdw soon and I wanted to be a little smaller then I am now. I was doing really good. Working out eating right and so forth. So i started loosing weight. I could see of my cloths were starting to fit better and I was actually feeling really good. Sleeping better any everything. Then one night about a week or so ago. I started to try on some of the cloths that I had and I was fitting them. I even brought up the s maller panties that i had because the ones i had didnt fit!! Then after I did that I stop doing what I was doing and eating really bad again. I dont know why I do that. I know that I need to get back to what I was doing but Im just haveing such a hard time doing that. Right now If I could loose 15 lbs but oct 8th I wold be soo happy. Please anyone I need help! Anyone have tips tricks anything ?

You've come to the right place! Everyone here is so supportive.

Have you considered joining one of the challenges? Just head to the last page of the summer biggest loser thread and read what everybody is up to. Lots of great ideas/suggestions/advice and no pressure! They're great. The current one ends Friday, but the fall BL starts after Labor Day.

Nice job on the smaller clothes!

self sabotage, I do it all the time. You admitted to slacking off, don't blow the whole day. Don't say I failed today, so I'll start again tomorrow. Start right now!!
Get a journal and document how you felt when you had your shopping spree, you felt great! Imagine how you would feel if you lost another 10 pounds, write down those feelings.
Also write down everything you eat, I usually write down the times I eat too, it helps with seeing patterns in behavior.

Also write down your goals, big and small. Then put them in an order in which you can accomplish them. One of my goals was to run a 5K, I did that in May at Disney (and I'm still 65 pounds overweight) So my intermediate goal is a 10K, long term is a 1/2 marathon.

I try to imagine how I would feel as a thinner more healthy mom at Disney. What could I do with my kids that the weight prevents me from doing now?

Something you have to remind yourself of daily is you didn't put the weight on overnight, it won't come off overnight either. It's not a diet, it's a forever lifestyle change.

In the beginning of September we will be starting our Fall Biggest Loser challenge, join us!! There are a lot of people in various stages of their journey and can be a great source for advice, comfort, and venting.

Yes, I agree with the previous poster. Start your own journal here on the boards. I started a journal a while ago and am really glad I did (link is in my signature). The BEST thing about doing a journal on here for me is that I don't know anyone on the boards personally, so I can be TOTALLY and COMPLETELY honest about my feelings, my eating habits, and my exercise (or lack there of). If someone does read it, they are always SO supportive. They've generally been there, done that or are still there struggling with you.

I started the journal after a trip to isney World because my last trip really took a tole on me and my body. It was the heaciest I had ever been at WDW, and I was miserable. I couldn't go and do like I wanted to. So, I decided to do something about it. I made the decision that I would do a race that allows you to run through the castle at WDW. It's the only thing that I could really find to completely and totally motivate me. I love WDW so much, and I wanted to go back and REALLY enjoy it like I never have before. So, I've started the couch 25k program. It's a running program. I first started with just walking for 30 minutes, then on up to 60 minutes. I could only run for about 15 seconds at a time when I started. I'm now able to run for about 5 minutes at a time. So, it's slow progress, but I've got the bug and can't wait to do a race in 2013. It's my excuse to go back to the world.

If I can do this, anyone can. The journal is a great thing for me...you should give it a try. It is nice to be able to go back and see when i was struggling at running for 1 minute...and now, it makes me feel good that I'm running longer than that.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a rambler...hope this helps some. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
