Plus Size Bloggers Summer 15 Contest – Weigh In
16 Jul
I’m still plugging along in the Plus Size Bloggers summer 15 contest. The goal of the contest is to lose 15 lbs from June 15th (start of the contest) to September 7th (end of contest).
If you’ve been following along over here you know that I’ve really been struggling with getting back on track with eating and exercising for quite awhile now (it all started Memorial Day weekend). And I’m still struggling! But I haven’t given up nor do I intend to give up.
So here’s this week’s weigh in (my camera batteries are dead & I tried recharging them but they still aren’t working…hoping it’s just an issue of the batteries being bad and not my camera!)
Last Week’s Weigh In (Week 3):
263.6 lbs
(5.6 lb GAIN)
This Week’s Weigh In (Week 4):
264.0
(0.4 lb GAIN)
Blech! Another gain 
I am in the same place right now. I am so tired all the time and trying hard to get in a work out routine. Then my numbers keep going up. It’s hard… but I know we can do this!
Jeannette you are right – we can do this. No giving up allowed!
Tishia…. I’m in the same boat as you. Only my derailment started end of June. I’m back. August is new month, new focus for me. You’ve accomplished so much and I would hate for you to not recognize that.
You and I are so close in weight…. I have to admit, I looked for your blog first thing today to see where you were. To see where I would have been had I not gone into my binging cycle.
I was surprised to see you were struggling as much as me. It made me happy for a moment to know I wasn’t alone… but it also made me a bit sad to see that we both hit a temporary wall.
I don’t even know you, but I want to encourage you to get back with it. First few days are the hardest, but I know you’re a lot like me regarding food… and it’s just food… we’re SO MUCH STRONGER than it. Let’s get back onto our journey and hold ourselves accountable for weekly showing the world where we are. It’ll help to not hide what’s going on. We need the support… and frankly, I need you — yes you — to show me that we are NOT giving up on this.
Fight with me.
Wow. Jen you just made me cry! lol I’m a bit emotional about this whole weight loss/healthy eating journey right now because of something my son is going through with football right now (a blog post will be coming! lol).
I never realized how important me – ME – was to someone else out there in this journey too! It’s been so easy to share all my excitement along the way but now I neglect this blog cause to be quite honest I’m NOT eating healthy or exercising right now and I’m ashamed and don’t want to admit it to everyone out there!
Hang in there Jen you can win this battle! Don’t give up.
Hey Tishia, I just wanted to stop by and see how you’re doing. You inspired me to get going with my own journey and I just wanted to encourage you. You can do it!! I’m down 8 lbs now and I go to the gym every morning and swim. Don’t give up Tishia! I’m gently waiting on you to come back to us, we need you! Love you. Vera.
Wow…I’m soooo late on seeing this comment Vera! I think we all know that back when you left this comment I had given up by then. But thankfully I’m back on track…I’m back and badder than ever
