BDW Biggest Loser Season 2 Official CHAT thread...

Yari, I so feel you girl!! Food may taste good, but it is SO not worth the pain and the depression and wearing the same outfits like "cantwait" mentioned above (bc thats me also)...I have so much nice stuff to wear and its been hanging in my closet for a few years now...I hardly ever dress up anymore like I used to and it stinks bc I feel even worse about myself wearing the same clothes. Everytime you think about eating something you know you shouldn't have, think of your friend who lost 20lbs and think of how great he looks and feels and maybe that will be a great motivator for you. We can do this, I keep trying to tell myself but its like the never ending cycle but I am determined to break this cycle this year. Stay positive.

It's hard to stay on track all the times, but when you find you slip-up, don't beat yourself up about it! Then you're going to be feeling down & then you'll slip up again & over & over... well that's what happens to me anyway!

If I eat something I shouldn't have, I remind myself that I shouldn't have done that & then make every effort to eat properly for the rest of the day. And if you try to stay on-track most of the time, a little slip-up here & there isn't as bad as you think it is.

 

I'm having a horrible time exercising right now. I suffer from migraines that are brought on by changes in the barometric pressure & it's been raining, snowing, & being gross for the past few days so my head is KILLING me! I thought I was gonna pass-out at the gym, but Mat stood behind me (literally!) so I wouldn't fall backwards! lol I probably should have skipped the gym tonight, but other than 9-hole of golf this weekend I did nothing productive!

I have a feeling it's not going to be a very good weigh-in for me either this week....

BUT I'll just have to work harder this week to make up for it!

I have an idea girls, I think we should all find a picture of ourselves when we felt we looked good or at least better, ha! And we should carry that picture with us at all times.

I was out with my friends the other night and it seems like all of us are trying to lose weight, but we were talking about it and one of my friends said she found a picture of me and saved it for me (because she knows I'm trying to lose weight) and it was back a few years ago when I was working out like a mad woman and I felt SO MUCH BETTER!! She said she was going to give me the picture for motivation, but of course we got drunk and I forgot. So, I'm going to dig through my pics and find one from that time period and keep it in my purse, I think you girls should too.

I think I might put one on my fridge too!

i used to find models' pics and put them on the mirror and fridge, but it doesn't work unless they're pics of me...that will motivate me.

Thx Jill, that sounds like a great idea!! I'm going to dig up a few pics tonight.

Jill what a great idea! There is a picture of me and my MOH in my office. I love the way I look in it. I am going to take it off the book shelf and put it in front of me, so I can really see it everyday.

Jill that's an awesome idea!

Who do we send our weights to today? I am down 2.6 pounds which is very nice. I hoped for four... which I know is a lot but that would have been enough to realllllly motivate me hehehe. Are we sending them to Ann or Christine or both?

 

Robyn

I sent mine to Ann, but i'm not sure i if that was right or not. Good for you Robyn, 2.6 lbs is great. I'm only down .5lbs, what a crappy weight in. I guess it's good that i at least lost and didn't gain.

 

I hear Yari and Jill, i have a whole closet of clothes that i no longer fit in and about 1/3 of them have tags on them. How sad, that i didn't even get to wear them. But i'm going to wear them. That's my goal to fit into all those clothes. I know i will need more than one biggest loser to do it. I think i might set a goal for myself, that if i lose 15lbs by mid July i can go shopping. My goal for the wedding in Nov is 30lbs. There's an INC dress that i really want for our trip. I'm trying to use that as motivation too. Plus im going to have to buy some swimsuits soon, that could be ugly if i dont' really start doing better.

 

goodluck with weigh ins today girls!

okay i dont' know what crack i'm smoking but i'm not down .5 lbs, i'm up 1.5lbs. This is awful!
