Hey Kolby! Misery loves company - please join us!!! 8) Lol!
I'm only on week three and it's still kicking my butt to a certain degree. What I'm really amazed about, is how it has completely broken some of my very bad habits with regard to emotional/boredom/habitual eating. There is a container of candy right behind my desk in my office, and I don't have any desire to touch it. I'm not craving carbs anymore, and I don't graze late at night.... maybe it's because my arms are too tired to lift food to my face! I'm really hoping to see some results soon, but either way, getting the "carb monkey" off my back has been a huge benefit.

OMG! The inside of my thighs no longer touch! I think something is finally happening!

Chicklit that's awesome!!!!!!!!!! I hope I see the day that my thighs don't touch...it's been many years! I would consider that a HUGE accomplishment.

I went four full and one half day without power. It put me behind big time. Between the no workouts and takeout food for every meal, I packed on 4 pounds. The day the power came back on I jumped back into the workouts...did legs. I am still sore to the point of feeling injured and it's been 4 days! It's like week 1 all over again. So, I've decided to go back to week 1 tomorrow and use my new weight and stuff as a start point. Hopefully there are no power outages in my near future lol.

now that I see a 'support group' I am wanting to dive back into it. All I remember is how much it kicked my behind, but I am looking forward to losing some weight and toning back up.

Kolbywhite are you going to start back up? I am restarting tomorrow if you'd like to join in! This forum has definitely helped...it's a lot easier to have other people doing it with you, especially women who you can complain and whine to, lol. If you're gonna start back up let me know!

WEEK 3 PROGRESS REPORT
Down 2lbs, lost a half inch on my waist. My hip measurement is the same, but my shorts are definitely looser. Thank goodness it's "rest week"!!!! I was so wrecked doing Kempo yesterday, I felt like I was a limp noodle.

Scientistmac - You might be "starting over" but you aren't going to back at ground zero. I'll bet you'll see that 4lbs disappear pretty quickly. Chances are that's mostly water. And you'll see results even more the 2nd time through. Stick with it! It will be worth it!

Is anybody still doing the program? I'm almost at the end of my "rest" week, and I'm still pretty tired. This morning I took a pair of pants out of my closet, freshly washed and dried and they fit. For the first time since I bought them in April. They didn't have to be misted down with water and stretched.

For anybody who's losing motivation, I want to tell you - I have a lifetime history of dieting and starving and gaining and losing so that my body is VERY resistant to losing weight. I tried WW, 1200 calorie diets, going vegan, you name it and none of it worked. This thing really is working!

I've lost all motivation. This is what always happens toe me. I'm pumped up to do it and start off so strong but then the motivation dies. I started over on Monday but my head was never really there. I only made it through three days, skipped yesterday, and haven't done anything today. I found out that I may be losing my job in October so it's put me in a real bad place, and I can't snap out of it! I feel like I need a fresh start, starting from scratch. But I also feel like I will keep failing

**Chicklit** · 09-12-2011 07:21 AM

I'm so sorry - I hope that doesn't happen! That's incredibly stressful! Well, I plan on doing a 2nd round starting about the 2nd week of December, so if you decide you want jump back in then, let me know and I'll rattle your cage come the holiday season.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya' on the job situation.
