Determined to Succeed Though Stuck


In the past 4 years haven't been able to get any lower than 165. I seem to be stuck between 170 and 180. When we travel, I can gain 7-12 lbs in 10 days (no binging). It takes me 4 months to lose the weight I gained in spite of monitoring eating and exercising at Curves. Very discouraging!

I joined SP 8/17/09. Am tracking food and exercise. Love the motivational features of SP!

    Thank you for the flowers. Sorry the thanks is delayed as I have been lax in keeping up with SP. We are traveling and I just barely log in my exercise and nutritions, get my daily spark points and update my status and journal. So much to do to keep the streaks going. emoticon

    FOR THE MEN WHO HAVE US, THE LOSERS WHO HAD US, AND THE LUCKY PEOPLE WHO WILL MEET US!!


    You have been hit. You have been considered one of the 10 most fabulous ladies on my friends list. Once you have been hit, you have to hit 10 fabulous ladies.

So hit 10 fab ladies on your friends list and let them know they are truly fabulous.

    Thanks for your comment on my sparkpage. Glad you're doing so well after your surgery. After losing weight I'm surprised you needed breast reduction - I went down a couple of sizes so I'm at a very full B or a small C right now. I did lose 85 pounds though since last Fall and I really have to dig deep and stay sparked to keep it off now! This is the first time I have lost weight though that I didn't lose the weight and gain all of it back within 1 year so I'm encouraged that this will be it! Hope to see you up well enough to go back to your walking again soon and have a great weekend.

    I am so glad you are on the mend and getting your energy back. Also glad you maintained your weight. I have had a lot of situations lately that could have been dangerous as far as weight goes but I maintained. For me that is an accomplishment. I have learned to eat wisely when we eat out, yet I still enjoy the foods I choose.

    Have a great weekend! emoticon
