Crime and Punishment

[Ward]

Actually, I need someone to smack my fingers every time I go to the fridge--which has been a lot lately!

I've been having a terrible time eating well during the last six months. I blame it on stress, but it's time to stop making excuses. I keep wobbling back-and-forth between the same 7 pounds and it's driving me nuts.

I started out this journey at 263 lbs. I've lost down to 167 and then gained back up as high as 178. Right now I'm sitting at 174, but I've had a terrible last few days so I know the end result will probably be even higher.

I really REALLY need support to lose the last 20 pounds that have been haunting me for a freaking year. The first 50/60 dropped so fast! Then the weight loss slowed down to a trickle.

I've been on this journey since September 2012 and I'm ready to be done with it.

I would love to have someone(s) to share the highs and lows with. Someone who's not afraid to tell it like is (because I will lol) and who will happily kick my butt when I waver (cause I can't). Down with the gentle-hearted approach!

Let the punishment begin.

Anybody with me?!?

I'm currently losing weight, and gaining a lot of muscle. Long story short, I struggled with my weight really bad for the first time in my life after I gained 80 lbs with my son 7 years ago. Since then, my metabolism has been horrible. Off to the Air Force I went almost 2 years ago, and I lost about 20 lbs and lost about 6 inches in my waist...and I actually felt what it was like to be fit!

Fast forward to now, happily married, comfort weight on...and I FAILED a PT test. I realized I needed to turn my life around for good. I can't keep teeter tottering with my weight and fitness levels. Although I am trying to gain a lot of muscle and lower my body fat percentage...I have found a lot of really good articles and nutrition advice on another website. I don't know if we can post other websites on here, so you can PM me if you want it...but it's not somewhere you would expect to find all levels of weight loss and fitness on it.

Since March, I've lost about 12 lbs and about 5% body fat. I haven't stepped foot in a gym, I do all my workouts from home. And the biggest thing I can stress is....stop buying crap food! I have a horrible sweet tooth and terrible self control. If it's there, I'll eat it, and feel like crap afterwards. Since I've stopped buying bad food, it's so much easier to grab a yogurt instead of chips to snack on. I'm with you! Good luck! If you need anything, even just to vent...let me know
