Don't give up girlie! I say continue going to the meetings and PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER so that you can drop the weight at the meetings! And for the record, I totally don't agree with what you said on my page - you ARE a loser, the good kind! You CAN do this. It just takes a lot of focus, re-focus, and then some final retuning focus! It ain't easy but I know that you can do this. You are still here and that tells me all I need to know! So stop defeating yourself and get on top of this issue because I want to see you lose too. Let's do this together girl!!

I know how it feels, you get tired of worrying. But the 2 sayings that I repeat when I feel like giving up is "I gotta try" and "You never fail until the day you give up"

I say these things and they make me think that if I just do this one little thing, at least I am trying and I should be proud of that.

Just don't give up!

Your post was hard to read, mostly because I've had moments like that too. I have wanted to give up, but then I think about the great new clothes I have been buying, and the fact that I've finally gotten rid of the stuff that is too big. I don't want that comfort zone of being able to wear my "fat" clothes if I gain...

Don't give up, you will feel awful about it. May I ask you if you work out? For me personally, this wouldn't work unless I did both....work out AND Weight Watchers...(or whatever plan someone is on). It just goes hand in hand for me...and I am stronger for it.

The best part for me is the fact that my diabetes is GONE and so is my high blood pressure. That was one of the greatest days when my doctor told me that. I know you aren't that heavy, but it's a risk that comes with higher weight...Had I known the path I was on years ago I may have decided to do this a long time ago. But who knows, maybe I just wasn't really ready.

Stay focused, Stay on track...and get in here and blog when the munchies hit...someone will be online..even if it isn't someone you have on your friend list, you can still shoot them a note and ask for whatever help you need. Good luck....you can do it...

And, one last thing, if you need more reasons, check out my blog post 100 Reasons To Lose 100 Pounds....a good list even if you aren't needing to lose that much!

Hello!! Thank you for adding me to your friends list. And yes, I know exactly what you are feeling. I have to share a story with you from last year after about three months on WW. I woke up sweating from a dream because I ate a whole huge piece of CHOCOLATE cake with lots of CHOCOLATE icing. I was literally screaming, "How many points was that???" And since about Thanksgiving I have gained and lost the same pound. However, I'm happy for now that at least I haven't put it all back on. Let's do this....let's break this habit. For me it's too much money to be spending to not do it right!

Oh, and I LOVE your pictures...you are so beautiful and that look in your eyes shows that you are a ton of fun to be around!!

And my hubby is from CT, so he often talks about nazareth speedway....he used to love going there. Have a great day!!

Don't give up. I, too, gain and lose the same pound for months before I get off my butt and start sticking to the plan the way I'm supposed to.

I have a little extra motivation these days: My brother and sister-in-law are pregnant, and I want to get to my goal weight before the baby is born in November. I was the fat bridesmaid, and I refuse to be the fat aunt, too!

I saw you said you walk, but don't lift weights. It might help if you started, just a little. They say as you build muscle, you burn more calories, even when you're just sitting around doing nothing!

Gotta go. I'm meeting the Boyfriend at the movie theatre. Guess I'll be eating some popcorn after all. But I'm taking my measuring cup to limit the portion!

What I've taken to telling myself is to make the healthier choice, most of the time. One day, one choice at a time, it seems to be helping — I was down 2.6 pounds this past week.

Hang in there, Sabrina! If you pull yourself together - even if it's gradually having a little bit better day each day - you can lose the weight. I've been telling myself lately that I have to keep trying and see what happens - 'cause I know what will happen if I quit!
I've had some bad days when I didn't even try to estimate how many points was in what ate 'cause I knew I was over. But twice this weekend I made myself make a guess, and it's much better knowing where I stand. If I don't try to estimate, it's like I've given up - and I give myself permission to continue to eat. So make a guess, count it, and keep going. A guess is better than giving up.
You can do it!!
