(((Jobob))) I've been dealing with stress lately, and I read somewhere to treat yourself as if you were a lost child. Be really gentle with yourself. Take care.

Hugs to all who are in stressful situations - it sucks.
I'm still stuck at 226 and still not happy about it.
I refuse to accept that I will always be this weight or that I'm meant to be fat, or that I'm "just big boned" as my family says. Nope. That's not right. Time to mix up the exercise and tweak the eating. Bleh.Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

134. The trend over time is down, which is good. Like Blueberry, I think I need to mix up the exercise and tweak the diet. For totally shallow reasons, I would really like to be below 130 by August 4. Gonna take alot of discipline.

Didn't you mention a friend's wedding will be on that day? And you want to look great and feel good about yourself? Meh, I don't think that's shallow.

Well... I stopped going to the gym about 3 months ago and not thinking on renewing membership at least until winter. Went down to 190 or so in April but because of not exercising and eating junk I gained some weight and went up and down for the past 2 months in between 195 and 197 . The first day I started commuting about 12 days ago, the scale said 197.5 and today it says 193.7 and I am very happy
....I feel my core very thight and even though I am not doing any other exercise lately but just my commute rides my abs are getting tighter and I am losing belly fat faster than doing crunches. I do plan on going back to doing some crunches at least every other day and some power training.
