I really do hope you continue to use PC during your social-media hiatus. I really appreciate your support and knowing that there are people out there in my same situation with the same goals.
Plus...PC is not social-media...it's a support group! |

Good luck with the diet. I am really disgusted with where I am physically. I want to lose about 40 to 45 pounds in 90 days. That's a lot but do-able. But it means a lot of attention to exercise every single day. I am also meditating twice a day. I hope you can reduce your drinking. When I am stressed out I think about drinking a lot but I am being really strong right now in not going that route. Just remember you have to start rewarding yourself with things that are not substances. You are such a good writer I wonder if you journal. You have a lot of interests. Follow them. And go easy on yourself. I really hope you check out LoseItLikeLauren on YouTube. It is something to do when you feel restless, or bored, and she is inspiring. Love and best wishes. I will be back.

You are right that PC is a support group. But where are the real life people in my community??? I used to have a lot of support and now I somehow got disconnected. I need real life people. I don't live near family so having a few good friends and groups to go to is really important. I may try to find a real life weight loss group. Not Weight Watchers but something like Overeater's Anonymous or something like that.
I am proud of you for starting your weight loss journey. By this summer you will be well on your way and your are going to feel great about yourself. Stay strong. Keep losing, keep smiling! __________________ |

Today I had a very yummy smoothie for breakfast and lunch. I mixed in a can of vanilla protein shake with 35g of protein. It was better than I thought it'd be. I had a banana, strawberries, and frozen fruit. Mmmmm. I didn't feel like having a full meal, it was already late when I made myself the smoothie and it was late enough where it could be lunch and not so sure what/how to eat so I went with a smoothie.
I had a very good workout today. 30 min treadmill, 5 min peddler, set of 100 ab and hip machines. I feel like going back after all that! |

I love having breakfast for dinner!
I had a yogurt, banana, oatmeal and milk. YUM! I think breakfast for dinner is the best. |

Dieting is the fastest way to gain weight and feel deprived on so many levels... which leads to falling off the diet wagon.
Lifestyle changes are far more helpful and has long lasting health benefits. Good luck __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I was going to warn you about putting the cart before the horse with that reward subject but... 14lb in 4 weeks is great. To follow up on Moreta's post... you will need to think of this as life, the way it is from now on. Goals are great for measuring progress but it can't end there. Weight loss programs tend to be very short lived and frequently lead to a seesaw of gain and diet, gain and diet. Try to think of it more as healthy living.

Don't forget to set small incremental goals and reward yourself as you reach them.

In short (too late), yes, this is not a diet but a lifestyle change. Quote:
I also make an effort to go to the gym on a regular basis, and I have my own goals for that too, such as adding 5 minutes on the treadmill each week. |

I'm very proud of myself today for my success at the gym, which was pushing forward when I felt like quitting. I have a love-hate relationship with the treadmill. Somedays I can do 20+ minutes no problem, but today after only ten minutes I hopped off with the excuse of being thirsty. I bought a caffeinated water bottle, went outside and smoked, and after much debate with myself I hopped back on the treadmill and finished strong.
