Starting Weigh: 254lbs.

I'm setting my goals in terms of fitness goals instead of pounds lost for now, because I become to focus on the number. I know this needs to be a life style change, so I'm focusing on fitness and I know the pounds will follow.

Great idea for your goal!! :clap: You CAN do it!!

that's a great idea...getting too worried about reaching a certain weight by a certain time can be discouraging..the scale is not the only way to measure success (as i often say!) :cheer:

Great attitude Princess, looking forward to your progress :)

You can do it Princess!!! It's great to focus on little steps at a time. It takes longer but you'll know when it's time to take the next step. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Setting your goals based on fitness is a fantastic idea as it shifts the emphasis away from the scale a little and focuses it more on performance rather than simply losing weight through healthy eating. You will be able to measure your progress as your fitness improves. Good luck :huggs:

Thanks everyone!!! ;) I'm so excited to finally be back on track. Check back in a week when it feels like I've been at this for a year. :lol: I'm only kidding I wont let myself get impatiet. Another reason why I always fail well it took time to gain and it will take time to lose.

Dead right Prin, ust look at one week at a time and before you know it youll be melting away with each month that passes - it is a long term thing adn that attitude will take you a long way

:thumbsup:

That's a great idea, Prin. Best of luck! :cheer:

No loss this week. :angry:

Not surprising, there was a death in the family and I have not been home for a week, skiped alot of meals and the ones that I did eat were crap. I think that its going to take a week or to for my body to get back to normal.

Sorry to hear the bad news princess...we're sending you :huggs:

Sorry for your loss sweetie :huggs:

You were able to maintain during a stressful and EMOTIONAL time which shows just how good you really are doing!

sorry about your loss :huggs:

i agree it will take time for your body (and yourself) to adjust back to a normal routine. Best of luck :huggs:

I am so sorry for your families loss :huggs:


Good job on maintaining, even through this difficult time...

Sorry about your loss :huggs:

Don't worry about the weight when you are going through this, take care of yourself.

Thanks everyone. Im not too worried about it. :)

sorry to hear Prin :huggs:

Sorry to hear that, Prin :huggs:

Sorry for your loss. :huggs:

You'll get back on track soon. Stress is a horrible trigger!

Hi Princess2One,

I was on vacation when you joined so wanted to say welcome, and to applaud you for the fitness-not-pounds focus.

I am a true believer that we should focus on our behavior -- exercise, eating well, managing stress, not just the RESULTS, in order to do this in a healthy way. You can control what you do (food & exercise) but you can't control how fast the scale reacts.

Good luck & glad to see you again!

My condolences to you and your family Princess, take care of yourself through this tough time :huggs:

Thanks Sarah & Storm.

No change this week. I have been going out of town alot and not been able to focus on exercise so I hope to change that this week. ;)

No change... WOOOOT!! That means no gain!! :congratulations: on the maintaining!

yes i agree, maintaining is ALWAYS better then gaining!!

best of luck with the exercise this week :huggs:

Thanks girls! :wave:

Good job maintaining during this stressful time! :huggs: Sorry for your loss.

I used to beat myself up over no loss. Isn't that crazy?!! Your doing great! :clap:

Good luck, Prin - you can do it! :cheer:
