Trying to get back on track

[cjett 0]

Ok well I lost 50 pounds as of the day before Thanksgiving and since that day so many things have happened both good and bad (holidays, engagement, miscarriage, vacation) that I have gained about 20 pounds back. I want to get back on track but it just seems hard to get back in that frame of mind that let me lose so many punds so quickly. Any advice? Thanks

Are you excersising? If not, I highly reccomend you start. It has so many benefits, just one being weight loss. Sometimes I do liquids (high protien shakes) for a day or 2 to get back on track. I believe strongly in a high Protein, low carb, low fat diet. Make sure you are getting in plenty of fluids, at least 64 oz. a day. You can do it! Good luck!

cjett Im in the same boat! I've lost 45lbs as of first of the year, but it's starting to sneak back on. Ive only put 6 lbs on, but that 6 lbs is enough after Ive spent so much time getting it off! I think the fact that we're here admitting we fell off course is a start. Ive started using an online food journal (myfitnesspal.com) and I find that super helpful. It holds me accountable to what I need to eat, and what I shouldnt be. It also makes me more conscious about what is in everything. Im also starting to get back to these boards for encouragement, because I cant keep what Im feeling all to myself, and sometimes family just doesnt understand. Feel free to email me whenever you need to talk, I'd be happy to share the "back on track" journey with you!
