And Not everyone is...You are NOT allowed to quit. <br /><br />And Not everyone is smaller than you. <br /><br />And you know what? Some smaller people? Were not always small people. <br /><br />I have the same thoughts about going to the gym, and about running races. <br /><br />I'm 190 pounds and I'm running a 1/2 marathon. Do you know how much the average person at that start line will weigh? MAYBE 150. That intimidates the hell out of me... but I'm still going to do it. <br /><br />Who cares what size you are now? You're trying to make changes, and THAT is what makes you strong and wonderful and amazing. You are out there every day encouraging everyone... don't you dare quit on us.Rebecca B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08841418274760152361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005544466971487151.post-14092202920246488142011-02-22T07:49:25.607-05:002011-02-22T07:49:25.607-05:00Hi, I popped over from 5MinutesForMom and the Wint...Hi, I popped over from 5MinutesForMom and the Winter Weight Off and enjoyed reading your post. Sounds like you are also enjoying some great Wii games for kids- seniors - and everyone in between. :) Aren't they fun! Though I prefer the Tennis and Racquetball sports games.<br /><br />And what a great point you made about how your friends will still be your friends no matter what. Very true. The reason I am working to lose a few pounds is so that I don't need to lose a LOT of pounds and because I feel healthier and better, which gives me more energy for babysitting grandchildren and caring for the elderly parents in my family. I think that when we find a goal for ourselves - that we will be more comfortable in our bodies - it gives us a good motivation to keep going. Last fall, I lost weight, then caregiving needs got in the way and I gained them back and I "Feel those pounds!" I want to FEEL lighter. And that helps me to keep plugging away. Hope it encourages you as well. :) :) :) <br /><br />Have a blessed week!Kaye Swain - SandwichINK for Grandparents and Caregivershttp://www.sandwichink.com/the-sandwich-generation-care-for-the-caregiver-exercise-eat-healthynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005544466971487151.post-52335157263304929382011-02-21T19:35:42.655-05:002011-02-21T19:35:42.655-05:00Don't give up.

We all are or have been in your boat. You are an amazing Mamavation sista and motivator...you can do it and we are all here to help.

Yo...Don't make me fly to MI and kick your butt! You can do this! It is hard work and emotionally challenging but we are all behind you 100%. Celebrate the small goals! Your body is not use to the change you are making but it will get use to it and will beg you for more. The more you feel like giving up, the more you need to push back. Because each day you are making positive changes within that you can see yet, but you will. *HUGS*Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720926679164874802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005544466971487151.post-37645506073837907852011-02-21T13:11:04.114-05:002011-02-21T13:11:04.114-05:00Don't you DARE quit!!

Don't just look at the goal of 30 lbs - it might seem unattainable right now. Work on losing 5 lbs. Then 5 more. <br /><br />You CAN do it!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954179323097955442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005544466971487151.post-376075953773511972011-02-21T13:10:17.713-05:002011-02-21T13:10:17.713-05:00I lost a pound this week too. I was upset because ...I lost a pound this week too. I was upset because I felt like I did everything right, but wasn't getting the results that I feel I deserved. Then Leah told me to shut up because I need to look at the bigger picture, and not the weekly amount.<br /><br />I learned something yesterday from Jude. When your body is working hard and is telling you to stop, don't listen. Don't give it what it wants because you won't get results. When you're tired and you think you can't take it anymore, that's when you need to do two more sets. Because it's those two sets that you're pushing through that you're going to gain the most from. <br /><br />I'm proud of you.Angela @ Nine More Monthshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620803040683639237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005544466971487151.post-15476933780687666862011-02-21T12:06:30.791-05:002011-02-21T12:06:30.791-05:00My momma used to tell me that nothing awesome come...My momma used to tell me that nothing awesome comes of taking the easy way out. <br /><br />Losing weight IS hard work and sometimes it sucks. But those that stop and revert to their old habits take the easy way out and don't get to be healthy.<br /><br />Just remember that :) hugs!miahttp://miacupcake.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
