That is how I gauge my weight too...

I have been able to get on the treadmill for at least 30 min every day this past week. So far this week is going well too. On Monday I did close to an hour. Yay me!

I walk/stints of jogging on the treadmill while the baby take a nap!

exercising while watching DVDs helps, too

Eek, Bling, I'm sorry I helped derail you with those m&m's. Past two nights I've been walking with my friend from work. According to her pedometer, we did 10k steps on Monday and 9k steps last night! Now if I can only get back on the salad train, but my tastebuds demanded fried chicken strips last night. FAIL. I need a food cop to follow me around and whack me whenever I pick up something I shouldn't be eating.

I'm waaaay ahead of you Bling!

LOL. Maybe we should start a thread entitled, "Anybody want to be weight-GAIN buddies". Subtitled, great recipes we all love and enjoy. :-)

I'm so disillusioned about my personal weight loss, that I'd happily join weight-GAIN buddies.

I haven't weighed myself recently, but my new clothes are getting tighter

I couldn't seem to lose any more after the 21 lbs. lost by May/June so totally lost my motivation.....again.

I guess I'll be a plus size gal forever

*hugs* Isabel. I know what you mean. I lost 30 lbs last year, which is a good start, but I plateaued and I've been hovering around that level ever since. I know why, but motivation isn't what it used to be.

Don't lose hope! And don't forget that you deserve to love yourself no matter what size you are.

Thanks for the hugs, LemurGirl After following the same routine for almost 6 months, it was as if my body said, "No more of this s**t." Feed me some real food!! And I did

I really believed that idea promoting that you could change your behaviour by sticking to a program for 31 days. Not in my case. Good food is my drug of choice, it seems.

I can totally relate... But if you do it 20lbs at a time and then just maintain, you'll end up keeping it off easier....

Think positively.

So it's healthier and maybe more successful in the long run to loose weight and then maintain for a while and then go back to loosing weight again? If so, then I think I can do that.
