Ok - I get REALLY bad PMS. I don't get anything done, if I don't lose at least 5-8 lbs by June 30 I will NOT fit into a bridesmaid dress I have, I am yelling at my kids because I have not cleaned my house or done my work - I work from home. My PMS also starts about 1 1/2 weeks before my period - currently working with my Dr. to figure this out.

I know I should be able to motivate on my own, but what I really need is someone to hold me accountable for the next few weeks. Silly I know, DH doesn't get it, so he doesn't really help, tried my BF, but she doesn't really get it either.

Anyone wanna be my drill sargent/life coach for the next 2 weeks to get me back on track? I just need emails or PM's asking me what I am up to, reminding me to exercise, do my laundry, clean my kitchen - and WORK not surf CC LOL!

Suggestions? Volunteers?

And yes, I know I am crazy, but at this point I have to find SOME way to get back on track and I am just NOT self motivating right now. icon_cry.gif

that does sound kind of crazy. but i think that if anyone from cc tried to help you and tell you what to do it may turn out bad?

Well - I think since I know I'm a bit crazy here, I wouldn't take offense to anyone telling me to get of my lazy butt LOL!

I'm really just looking for someone I feel like I have to check in with, cause when I have an appointment I can get stuff done, always good under pressue, but right now trying to keep myself on a decent schedule is just not working.

I'd appreciate any help, I'm pretty easygoing - I wouldn't hold anything against anyone icon_wink.gif

Yes, I am a struggling FlyBaby - I can't seem to make myself set my timer lately (maybe because I bought THREE and can't find ANY! icon_sad.gif)

Do you know if there are any Flylady bulletin boards? I guess what I need is a FlyBuddy! Thanks Andi!

I'll go the weight loss thread as well - thanks Anna!

At least I did mange to get showered and dressed to shoes this morning before taking the kids to school - lately I have been rushing into the shower just before they get home so they don't know mom has been a slob all day - sheesh!

I have trouble getting motivated too, Laura. I'm pretty much the only one who does anything housework-wise. And when I'm over here doing this, I get catch the kids before they leave a mess and take off, kwim? My DH is terrible about getting the kids to do anything and he's no better about cleaning up after himself so I just feel like there is a huge mess no matter what I do.

I do baby-sit, so that helps me keep certain areas clean that the parents will see!
