You've quit smoking AND lost that much weight?! Congratulations! Sounds like you're committed, despite those bumps that we all hit from time to time. Best of luck to you!A woman in transition...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02419886968633701466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-30878792408132866652010-10-22T00:39:54.847-05:002010-10-22T00:39:54.847-05:00First the good, congratulations on not smoking!

That is a tremendous accomplishment...I should know...I can't seem to do it and it would be the biggest benefit to my health I could ever do for myself. So great job...you've done it!<br />Now the ugly...I'm where you are right now. I'd lost 34 pounds on SP and now I've let about 8 pounds creep (well, not really, I know I'm doing it!) back on. I don't know what gives. I think maybe I've become lazy again and I'm not in that happy place I once was way back when I started the journey. I know I just need to start again and so do you! We can't and won't let anymore weight "creep" back on to ourselves! I'm Lisa170 on SP and I'll be checking in with you to see what you are doing to get back on track. Interesting...I came to you tonight for motivation and I found that we are both struggling. That in itself is motivating for me to get moving...every body has a tough life and losing weight doesn't just happen for anyone. We need to make it happen! We can do this and we can never give up!<br /><br />Good luck to you! Wish me well too!<br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-46368916184182603292010-10-17T13:27:35.350-05:002010-10-17T13:27:35.350-05:00I'm proud of you and I don't even know you...I'm proud of you and I don't even know you! I found you just today while perusing a bunch of different blogs. 50 pounds is awesome - focus on what you've accomplished, not the tiny setbacks that are inevitable in life. On the journey to good health, we've got to learn how to get back on the wagon when we fall off - it makes us stronger - so think of it as a lesson learned! I bet you feel a million times better having written this blog - I know I always do. Good luck to you!Leigh Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14733180443019348628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-1335258655470400272010-10-17T08:31:08.632-05:002010-10-17T08:31:08.632-05:00You quit smoking and lost weight!

I can imagine that it's easy to throw off blogging with your busy schedule. Maybe you could start just making sure that you blog what you ate each day even if you don't have time to do anything else. That would also serve to make you think about what you're eating.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126185720768861280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-75384988495752611062010-10-15T11:08:46.338-05:002010-10-15T11:08:46.338-05:00I would be so glad to see you blogging again Steph...I would be so glad to see you blogging again Steph, you were my orginal inspiration for starting my blog.<br /><br />You can do this and you know we are all behind you.<br /><br />Lots of hugs<br />xx<br />lesleyLife as a Caterpillarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060619595546876393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-8725064546163132002010-10-15T08:07:09.730-05:002010-10-15T08:07:09.730-05:00I find when I'm struggling or have stopped wor...I find when I'm struggling or have stopped working as hard for a while it seems way too hard / daunting to just jump back in at full speed. What I do is commit to something low that I know I can make time for. Ie... a 10 minute walk after / before / during your lunch. Or wherever that fits in your day. If you make 10 minutes 3x a day there's a 30 min workout. Plus we all know that if you find 10 min that 10 will expand into 20, 30 or 40 because you remind yourself of how much you actually love doing that. <br /><br />As for food...again set the sights small... no more snacking, or no more fries if you're eating fast food.<br /><br />Don't worry you'll find your grove again and don't beat yourself up over the 12 lbs... yeah you'll have to lose them again but re-losing sucks and is always a good reminder when you start to wander off the path in the future.<br /><br />Don't forget you're amazing and have done so much! Don't focus on the bad :)carpensmhttp://www.alifewithouticecream.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-79352477992853217612010-10-15T07:18:01.376-05:002010-10-15T07:18:01.376-05:00Oh it's so good to hear from you!

First of all CONGRATULATIONS on the 50 pound reduction at the same time you stopped smoking! I'm honestly impressed.<br /><br />Just quickly, I used to weigh 300 pounds, lost 120 - gained 10-20 back (it goes up and down between the 10lbs) No way was I going to let more weight creep back on and I sense from your entry you feel the same way about that 50! Again, I don't even know you yet I'm extremely proud of you! =)<br /><br />I know with time, you are going to find that balance to make this work. I'm with you on that path, looking at how to make everything work so I can continue my road to better health. I wish you the best and I KNOW you will find a way to make this happen.<br /><br />I'll be following your blog, hope you don't mind! =)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840809036588436520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-10705043384599384632010-10-14T23:22:45.408-05:002010-10-14T23:22:45.408-05:00Erin, thank you for the support and helping me to ...Erin, thank you for the support and helping me to see the positive!Overcoming Obesityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295489418095345623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931277181260140522.post-19987787602578757122010-10-14T23:05:30.001-05:002010-10-14T23:05:30.001-05:00I think that it's an incredible accomplishment...I think that it's an incredible accomplishment that you were able to kick smoking.
