Father forgive me, for I have binged. Okay, that might be an over exaggeration but for me, It was a binge. We had breakfast for dinner, it was delicious. I had pancakes and sausage, logged It all no biggie. But then I got home and was still feeling hungry, so I devoured like four extra pieces of sausage and a few pieces of bacon. (was delicious) I figured, shit this is all acceptable for low-carbers lol I'm eating! I don't believe there will be any lasting effect from this mini-slip up, but I am slightly disappointed in myself. One of my friends said that he sometimes craves more protein, I did work out crazy hard in the strength department..?? Maybe...
Bound and determined to have a better loss this week. Only three more weigh ins for the biggest loser competition, and I want to win! Shit, only three more weeks till thanksgiving and I desperately want to be at the -75pounds mark. I need to stick with it and pull big numbers. My goal weight is 146. I chose 146 because when I hit that weight my BMI will finally be in the 'normal' range. I want to be normal! lol My one year mark will be in March. I'm hoping to maybe get to my goal weight by then, but if not then definitely by summer.
My friend and I were working out yesterday and I told her, I want to wear short shorts!! For years I wore pants all summer long. Hot ass Ohio summers, in jeans! Then I graduated to those hideous Bermuda shorts, but just once I want to wear a normal pair of shorts without thinking about how flabby my legs are. All of my friends seem to have the "thank god its over sized sweater season" But in my mind, now is the time to start working towards next years beach season. Right??
I'll try to keep all of this in mind this weekend, stick with the healthy eating and going to the gym tomorrow.
What motivates you? I'm dying to know. And what do you think has been your biggest obstacle?
For me, my biggest obstacle was my own fear and insecurity. With that behind me, I think I really have what it takes to accomplish this goal. Have a great weekend everyone!

Actually, you seem like you controlled what you ate, which is a good thing. Plus, protein is good. Working out can increase you appetite and protein is the perfect food source. You did good!

You definitely need a lot of protein if you are working out...especially lifting...I used to take a protein shake with me to the gym to have within 30 mins of me completing my set. I would usually enjoy it while doing my five miles on the bike :) I've learned to not make my goals unrealistic (what I did at the beginning of my HCG diet)...my body is going to lose it when it loses it. I think trying to get down to your goal weight by June 1 is totally possible and won't stress you out as much as put the March deadline (or you could do mini deadlines like me) and if you meet them earlier...woohoo :) Keep up the good work and have a wonderful Sat!!!!

You make me laugh...thanks! I needed that.
You are doing fabulous and I agree that you probably need more protein so your craving took care of that. I struggle to eat enough protein myself. This morning I made brunch for me and the two kids that live at home. It was wonderful to eat a cheese omelet with toast. I figured it was for two meals...so it is good. Have a great day. I have to go accomplish something.

OOps...getting out of the plus sizes is my motivation. My lack of exercise and not liking vegetables are my obstacles.

My biggest motivation would be the urge to put on clothes and not have to worry about hiding something. To feel sexy and to feel like a woman. To take my kids to school and not feel like "the fat mom". My biggest obstacle would be if I go off track I have a horrible time getting back on. I am an all or nothing person and extremely devoted once I start something but when it gets to maintenance time that is something I will definitely need to work on. BTW, totally agree that your body was craving what it needed so I'm sure you'll be fine:)

My motivation... remembering what I looked like naked in front of the mirror. I've since found my waist, ribs, hips, though padded a bit, my collar bone, tendons in my neck. All of this was hiding under the fat. I want to look and be sexy even at 62.

"Father, Forgive me for I have sinned". If you look at my journal from last night I have done 10X worse than you did. and I don't feel guilty at all. You know why. Because this morning (not tomorrow) I went mountain hiking...So, Today (not tomorrow) do something to burn it off.
As for motivation, I wrote on one of the forums: I am motivated by the fact that I want to be a good role model for my 2 daughters (I, like most parents, am always preaching discipline, commitment, and try again when you fail). This is kind of a long term motivation that keeps me on track when I fail (and I fail weekly). But I am sticking to this "New life style". Unfortunately, this kind of motivation is NOT for the short term. So, I end up messing things up on weekends.
As for setting targets (your 75lb target), I have my monthly targets, too. But I don't despair if I miss it by 1 or 2 pounds. Please go back to you own history and see that the glass is half full.
You are doing great. keep it up!

My biggest obstacles? 2 major ones: The first is of course, MYSELF, and my lousy bad eating habits that I am trying to overcome especially at night and in weekends. The second one is my social life. I am a public figure and I am constantly invited to dinners and social events (with food and alcohol). For a typical Lebanese dinner please see my journal entries from early September. Warning: you might gain weight from just reading about Lebanese Dinners.
What you want to know is not my obstacles, you want to know how I overcome them. A LOT OF WILL POWER and a LOT of water drinking and a lot of food substitution (Night snacks no longer contain yellow cheeses and white bread (600 per snack). I snack on lower calorie stuff and I keep track on the mobile calorie counter to avoid (as much as possible) too many calories.

desperate... kudos for your strength and determination. I've known a couple of folks who were obligated to do the dinners and socials and all complained of the weight gain vs politeness.

Thank you all for your replies, support, and your honesty! It means the world to me

For me - pancakes make me starve!!! I don't know why but back when I ate them I would get so stuffed while eating them and then in a couple of hours I am starving.
As for my motivation - I am honestly not certain. I want to look good and feel sexy but I am ok now. And it never seems that I get the sexy feeling no matter my weight. I just never feel that great about myself. I want to be healthy - that is the biggest motivation. But to be perfectly honest I think my motivation is that I want to feel better. I want some energy and to feel like doing things not always wanting to rest or veg.
My obstacle other than being naturally lazy and a sweet addict is pain. I have artificial discs in my back and my neck. Iv been in pain for about 30 years. The artificial disc in my lower back has helped a great deal but in the past year it has gotten worse and worse. I guess I am going to have to go back to doctors soon. I just don't want to. I also have serious migraines but those are much better thanks to Botox shots.
Sorry to be Debbie Downer :). I am trying to work through the issues and start getting more and more exercise. So far so good :). This site and my friends make it easier to combat my challenges
