Where the heck have I been?

Wow!  I haven't been here in over a week.  That NEVER happens!  But truthfully, I've been feeling like an imposter lately.  I just haven't been up to posting about my lack of progress and how frustrated I am and how I just want to quit.  No one needs to hear that, right? 

This is the cycle of my life and I blame my body for being a yo-yo dieter.  I lose 40-ish pounds, plateau, get frustrated that my body is no longer cooperating and I am not making progress, and eat my weight back up again.  Then I start to lose weight again, stop at 40-ish pounds, get frustrated at my lack of progress...  I think I am at the "eat my weight back up again" stage.  I haven't weighed myself in over 2 weeks (because why bother if I'm not going to see anything I like, right?) and I now I must be gaining like crazy again.  I looked in the mirror the other day and realized that I am getting "fat" again (I say that like I was ever NOT fat...).  My newly smaller fitting clothes are not so fitting anymore and I know these are both signs that I need to get back on the wagon.

But therein lies the problem.  Mentally I am just not into doing the effort for no results.  Sure, I'll lose this quick weight gain and then stall again at the 260-ish mark.  What is so great about 260 that my body wants to hang out there?  And why have I been there since October?  Talk about an extended vacation!  OK, body - MOVE ON! 

So I am considering joining LA Weight Loss.  I am in the researching phase right now, but I obviously need something different and with guidance.  Being on my own just isn't working anymore.  The only negative I have heard so far is that they try to get you to by a lot of their supplements and meal replacements and it can get pricey if you actually buy all the stuff they recommend.  But I figure it can't be more than JC or Nutrisystem.  And I'll have an actual body in front of me, helping me plan.  Anyone ever done or heard of LA Weight Loss?  Let me know your insights!

I'll try not to stay gone for so long this time, but unless I get my motivation back, I don't want to discourage all of you.  Keep on keepin' on, y'all!  Happy losing!

I have a customer...

that joined LAWL...she lost 25 #'s pretty quick but is kind of stuck at the moment with about 30 more to lose. She is also diabetic, HBP, etc so she can only do so much at a time. Just giving you some info!

Glad to see you are back!!! Post what you need to so that we can be supportive! It is all part of the journey!

hi

I hope that all is ok with you.  I know that it has been a little bit since I blogged and I am sorry.  I know that you have a busy life ((ME TOO)) -- but I would definately love to hear from you.  I am feeling kinda DOWN because I am a having trouble dealing with the weight.  I can not seem to get myself motivated.  I do not know..  I just wanted to stop by and wish you well. Love, Jen

hello

i was popping in to  see how you are doing. i took a break for a while(mistake, mistake) and am now back in the game.  let me give you some friendly advice, dont stop weighing yourself and dont allow a plateau to get you down.  if you keep on exercising and eating right, you will continue to lose weight.  i had a friend that joined la weight loss, but her weight loss was about average, 1-2 lbs per week, sometimes less.  good luck with whatever you decide to do.  i believe in you !

Been there, done that...

WOW!!

Look at how far you have come!! You are doing awesome.....I have some weeks better than others, so I know what you mean....Last few weeks have beeen troubling for me too, but guess what? Every day is a new day!!

I dont know anything about LA Weight loss, I use the 6wbmo from Michael Thurmond. I know what I need to do, but sometimes the "stuff between my ears" tells me something different.  I am currently working on a list of comments i tell myself -  my "stinkin' thinkin' - and changing them into positive affirmations.  It seems to be helping. 

I wish you the best, and keep on, keepin on!!

We are in this journey together.
