Well after being MIA last week ( that is no report) the news is up 200g both weeks. AGGHH, 3 weeks
ago I was just 100g from my 10%, now I have a whole 500g to lose. I can't seem to stay on track
for more than a day or two, I start off good but lose the motivation. The next few weeks are going
to be difficult, holiday time, I know I need my routine. My goal until the next WI on the 14th Jan
is to stay the same. Not trying for a loss as I don't think this will be possible, but I must get
back on track and stop gaining Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland

just keep doing your best right now, eventually it will work good luck, Lee

I know what you're going through Michelle, my motivation has been at an all time low lately,
although I did have mostly good days last week, this week things are a little different again.
What's important for me is that although I may be having the odd meal or food that isn't what I'd
normally eat OP, most of what I do eat now is much healthier than it was a year ago. Our weight may
take a little longer to come off, but it will eventually, we just have to be patient. Good luck over
the holidays and just make the best choices possible and you will succeed!

I guess you are right, overall the choices are healthier than 1 year ago, I am making a point of
eating loads of fruit and veg, this is certainly helping.

I've basically been maintaining since May. Some days I eat the most unhealthy things ever, but when
I sit down and actually think about what I'm eating I realize that over the last 6 months or so,
although I've not lost anything I've not gained either. I'm practicing maintenance and doing okay at
it. Once I'm at goal I figure I'll be an old pro and shouldn't have much of a problem staying there!
This is the longest I have maintained a certain weight in many years. I am definitely making better
choices now and sometimes I do it without even realizing it until later on.

Practicing maintainace is good, this is going to be the more difficult phase of the whole Weight
loss journey. I think yoiu have done an excellent job especially with all the stress you have had.

Thanks Michelle. I think I've done really well considering what the last 7 months have been like! I
haven't been really serious about the program with everything going on, so once the holidays are
over I'm going to get totally back OP and get rid of the last pounds.
