You must stay focused on your diet program and important to be sure that your diet will be successful. It still sounds heavy, but this is not a thing to be feared and avoided, but this diet makes one thing to be done for better quality of life of survivors struggling baik.Oke Mandy …

As you said DIET had been a very scary word for me for years altogether.

I used to sneak into the kitchen and have a quick bite or two before my parents notice me breaking my diet schedule. But, this in turn affected my strenuous exercises and the regime I was undergoing.

So, at some point or the other I thought to drop the angst to eat more and work more to reduce myself.

I hope I have hit the bullseye. No more sneaking in. I am a happy individual now.

Hey Mandy, Sew your mouth shut and stop drinking so much alcohol and then maybe you wouldn’t be so overweight.

Everybody is motivated differently. Some people may find this effective and good luck to them. I agree Jody, this reminds me of FJ’s style.

I really like your site. I have had trouble losing the weight recently. It was all so easy at the beginning when the weight was rolling off. But things have slowed down a bit.

Your site has renewed my courage to struggle on down that happy road of merky weight loss.

good luck!!! just know that you CAN do it and it is all in your hands. just remember that you can enjoy what you like in moderation, you have the strength to do it, and don’t be so hard on yourself when you have a “bad day.” i know that it is extremely hard but so worth it in the end. this is where you get to see what you are truely made of…..

Its tough to complete a challenge which has been taken by yourself, but the one who successfully pass that is a real person. So keep it up,and dont loose heart.

Consistency. I mean set a plan in motion and stick with it for a specific amount of time. Whether it’s blogging about your weigh ins for a month or walking for an hour a day for a month or not eating rice for a week, it doesn’t matter. Just be consistent. The only thing that shouldn’t be consistent is your messing up.

A wise man once told me that in order to accomplish something you sometimes have to fail at it several times. I think it’s time you put this weight loss thing to bed and get into maintenance mode…

As always, thank you Dawn! Your support and positive energy are always appreciated!

I used to try and keep it a secret for as long as possible, but when we did the Biggest Loser competition at work, EVERYONE knew EVERYTHING. There was no hiding, but the support was incredible, and we were all in it together. I came in second place, just so you know, lol

It’s best not to mention your diet to anyone until you lose a bit of weight. That way when you tell them you’ve lost weight they have more positive comments.

Summer is tough. Drinking, late nights, more take-outs. I get it. Don’t beat yourself up for having fun, but, when that little voice says, “Maybe I shouldn’t,” to the beer or extra chip, listen. I know it’s easier said than done. Another thing (that someone we both know does…) is to hang up a garment that you would love to hop right into, but need to work at. Maybe a dress, a pair of jeans or a tank.

Now about the writing: AWESOME.

Good luck. I know you can do it. I’ve seen ya in action!

Gauntlet thrown…CHALLENGE ACCEPTED…

You set the terms, however, I will say that I am in no way ready to post my weight on FB…I will post what I lose (and hopefully no gains) tho!

I know I messed up and I need to get my head straight. I sat on this post for a month before submitting it to you because I had to make sure I was ready to take this on full force. Getting on the scale on Sunday was the boost I needed!

Sean,

I always welcome suggestions!! What was the title of your blog post? I would love to read it.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I know we all hate that word ‘diet’. I prefer to use the term ‘lifestyle’ or ‘habit’. The problem is, regardless of the nomenclature, it’s all about consistency.
It doesn’t matter what you choose, how you go about doing it. What matters is sticking with it.
That’s the hardest part. Even if you fall, you find the strength to get back up and try again. Having the ‘failure is expected, but not an option’ mentality wins every time.
I think Israel’s idea is a great start.
I posted a blog a while back on conquering your weight loss plateau. Maybe I have a few suggestions you could use?

Best of luck with your journey.

Mandy, Mandy, Mandy. Tsk, tsk. You screwed up girl. Guess what? Get over it and do what you gotta do. Go through the motions until they become habit. Didn’t you do this before already? Do it again!

Want a challenge? How about you post your weekly numbers (weight, workouts, etc, whatever) on here, on facebook, and on your fridge?

Let’s see who can be consistent for a longer time, me or you…

Anybody else want in on this?
