Sunday -- oops --- MONDAY Results Chat - A place for sharing and support for ALL

So how WAS YOUR WEEK?

Good, Bad, Challenging, Successful, Motivating?

This thread is truly to let each of us know how the other members are doing in an honest, sincere, caring and supporting environment.  We're not here to judge anyone - we're all here to SUPPORT, NURTURE and TEACH each other some of the tools for success!

What kind of support community would we be if we only talked when everyone did well?  HOW WAS YOUR WEEK???

The board is not quite as active and it always makes me wonder if members are failing and not wanting to post.  PLEASE DO.

Personally, this was a challenging week.  My mother’s health is failing and financially I am crumbling.  With my job ending I’m facing selling things to bring bills current and trying to figure out how to generate enough income to pay the routine bills.  Talk about emotional triggers!  However, it is a time of learning and celebration as well.  Although giving in to 8 pieces of chocolate all at one sitting, I stopped there and refused to complicate the issues by returning to emotional eating.  Besides, that doesn’t help ~ it only makes me feel worse.  So, I HAVE Learned Much on this journey and CAN control my eating and “feel” my emotions without abusing food.  Even managed to lose 1 lb.  5 down in 2 weeks and 5 more to go to enjoy watching tutu boy!  No clown girl suit for this gal!

Now .. we'd truly LOVE to hear about your week ....

I have had a horrible week. Me and my fiancee broke up last sunday. I didn't get around to posting my weight. But I have lost 4 pounds in the last week and a half. Its not because of excersizing either. I can't eat or sleep. My nerves are so shot I tremble and its 80 degrees! I know I'm hungry and I try to eat but when there's food in front of me...i just don't want to eat it. I feel really nauscious a lot. I'm extremely depressed. Its like my life is falling apart. First my parents are struggling with money. Theyre filing bankruptcy next week, our house is being foreclosed so we have to move and then the whole thing with my fiancee...I don't know what to do with myself. I tried so hard to keep my relationship working that I let go of most of my friends. I don't have a lot of people to confide in. I went over to a guy friends house that I have always been attracted to. I stayed over there and he seems to really like me, but after I left his house he hasn't answered me at all. I messaged him and he told me he was seeing someone! My heart just sunk...it was like a double whammy...I know I'm not ready for a relationship again but it was nice to have male attention because it kept me from thinking about my fiancee. I don't know what to do with myself. I feel useless, sick, lonely, and just..sad. Just needed to vent a bit...but yeah no excersize. Getting under 1000 calories a day in...I try but its so hard.. :'( oh ladies..

Oh my Ranae and Jame I'm so sorry that you are having such tough times! I too am having a sort of tough time... I am having problems finding a new job that I will actually enjoy. For the past umm 7 years? I work a job for a year and get bored with it and quit caring, it probably doesn't look too good on my history either, but I can't help it! I didn't enjoy those jobs!

Anyways I have lost 6lbs in a week, don't worry I'm eating plenty, my boyfriend can difenately agree to that hehe. I am however losing energy gradually and not sure why. I feel more drained each day. I'm taking all my medications getting my food groups and taking my vitamins. Today I almost didn't want to work out at the gym due to some personal problems at home, but I went anyway >.>. It's getting harder to get myself up and going though.

Anyways here's to us! And lets keep up the good work.

Ranae - Sorry to hear of your trials, i hope and pray that some good things are on the horizen for you. Remember although we may be thousands of miles apart we are all behind you, willing you to succeed. Take care.

Hope this may bring you some cheer and help keep you away from the Clowns outfit, i have lost 3.2lbs this week. And been to Action Heart Gym twice, completing the exercises they laid out for me with no after effects.

Ranae, you have a terrific outlook on life. I have faith in you. You'll come out of this OK. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

OK, I admit - I was too chicken to get on the scale this week. I promise myself next Sunday to get on no matter what. I've just been down lately and stressed over everything. I'm sure you all understand. You guys inspire me though so I refuse to give up and let myself go.

I'm going to meet my goal - not just my weight goal - other goals as well.

Started my food journal today. Hope I can keep it up. If nothing else, it might force me to eat healthier. And no more Pop Tarts.

Well according to that mean scale of mine I gained a pound. Scale must be broken, I haven't splurged once this week and stayed below or right on my points all week been doing Tae Bo in the morning and bike riding in the evening. My clothes are fitting losser and I feel great about myself. That scale hates me I think I really need to start measuring instead.

Renae-- You are in my prayers. Please don't give up.

Jame-- I am so sorry to hear about you and your fiance, sometimes things happen for a reason that we don't realize right then but will later. Me and my husband have split three times and every time I seem to lose lots of weight. Weird how taking that ring off your finger makes you lose weight.
