last year I joined jenny craig and lost 30 pounds.. got engaged sooo excited.. then packed on another 20.. and now basically gained everything back.. Its been such a struggle to go back and eat healthy again.. I just can't seem to focus at all.. every week I feel like im goin to start diet that week and never do .. sooo monday is my day where im goin back on jenny craig.. any words of wisdom?????? I get so bored of the food after awhile.. I just feel like I did this already and i got passed it but now doin it again is really depressing me.. :(

Re: so need motivation
i want to start eating better and maybe using that treadmill in my room, too! MONDAY seems to be my day as well..... motivation would definitely help. I told my fh and his bro that I am starting dress shopping, and they were both like 'so are you going to start working out or hitting the gym?'

Re: so need motivation
Think about how sexy and hot u wanna look on ur wedding day and your HM!! Just think of it as a temporary thing. Have you ever thought about doing NutraSystem or Weight Watchers?

Re: so need motivation
I did Weight Watchers when I was a teenager and I swear by it. It allows you to eat small portions of the foods you enjoy rather than making you eat frozen food and other things that some diets make you eat. I also learned good life lessons about calorie counting and choosing right. I haven't been over 124lbs (5'5') since the day I finished it. Without it I guarantee I'd be overweight today!

Re: so need motivation
don't choose a diet that doesn't let you eat.
Eat all the food you love, but less of it ....
if you start a diet too quickly (go from eating a lot, to eating very little in a day), your body will go into 'starvation mode' and you will actually not see results as quickly.
Good luck!

Re: so need motivation
my problem is the small portions.. i dont know once your off the system how to manage it.. cause at least with jenny when im on it im fine.. but when i go off i cant portion it out cause i eat whatever i want. i know that sounds crazy but thats what happened. :(

Re: so need motivation
FH and I did a diet a while back and it was great. Even commercials about food didn't get me hungry... It always looked like TOO MUCH FOOD!!!
We weighed our food all the time... lunch and dinner... at first, I was hungry after dinner, but then I got used to it.... Took about a week or so... but it was totally fine afterwards...
Then we just slowly started eating again... i wish we kept weighing it out... it wasn't bad at all and it WORKED!!!

Re: so need motivation
I'm just going to start carrying a picture of wedding dress with me everywhere. I am lacking the motivation too - I feel like I have time, but I keep telling myself that and pretty soon time is going to run out!!!
PS - do you go to the gym? I go to the one right across from our RH . . . if you join we could be gym buddies! And you get to check out our RH with each visit!
