I need to re-focus and need motivation - anyone want to help?

I basically took all of August off from dieting and working out (between vacation and then a month of sickness with the boys) but I'm back on track and ready to go.

I came back from the month off gaining 1.6lbs.

Last weigh in I lost 1.4 so I'm almost back on track.

I need to lose 7 lbs ASAP. That will get me down to 120 and hopefully get rid of this belly. I refuse to look pregnant when my baby turns one on October 15th!!!

I need some motivation though. Maybe another weekly weigh in challenge?

Anyone with me on this?

I'm with you!!!

I just havent been as good as I should be. It's mostly in part to weekend binges. I just keep gaining and then try to convince myself its okay to eat more since I'm running so much.

Re: I need to re-focus and need motivation - anyone want to help?

I'll do it with you, I've been a mess since DDs birthday and am struggling to get back on track.

Re: I need to re-focus and need motivation - anyone want to help?

I am so with you (again).

I've been completely slacking.... and I need to get back on track!

I actually just saw an interesting diet in woman's day (i think it was last month's) and I'm thinking of trying it.

The have it online also at www.womansday.com/slimdown

I need to exercise too! I haven't exercised in a LONG TIME already... basically the entire month of August.

I can't find exercise that I actually ENJOY doing! I want something I can do at home. Any videos anyone can recommend? I might try C25k again.... my parents have a treadmill here.

Yes! It's so hard to get back on track once you fall off the wagon! AHH! And, potty training Jack is killing me. Everytime he gets a handful of Skittles, so do I .

Can you change your recipe book?

I find that it motivates me when I find new recipes.

I am going to join the Zumba craze soon. :)

Do you belong to the gym? Can you walk everyday with the kids in the neighborhood?

would you consider South Beach diet? It's pretty extreme in the first two weeks but it really does work in kicking you into high gear healthy eating mindset

I read Bethenny Frankle's book...Skinny girl....and it was awesome

You have to come to Joanne one night!

I've been reading it also...and a lot of it makes sense....but when she says to stop eating when food no longer tastes as good at the first bite, I have trouble....because it still all tastes good the whole meal!!
