    So many people are negative when we start to change. keep at it.. and keep in mind this is about YOU.. for YOU and YOU are the important person in all this. Give yourself the routine and the gift of going to the gym to stay away from the negative nellies who insist on sharing their opinion...whether you want it or not...
    for YOU and you can do this

    My husband didn't believe in me. Now I've lost 60 lbs and a husband. And I'm so much happier!

    Wow!! :laugh: :laugh:

    To the poster, your parents don't have to believe in you! The only person who has to believe in you, is YOU! They will come round in time when they see how well you are doing! :flowerforyou:

    Keep going so you can shove it in their face!
    Parents should be supportive!!!!! Even if they think it is a waste of money etc. I guess that is just the way parents are & I hope that I don't end up like that with my girls.

    I've found that liking what I'm doing is the only motivation for me. I don't enjoy going to a gym - although I'm one of those lemmings who has a membership because I was too stupid to realize that I had a perfectly good street to run on and joined a gym because it was all I could think of to do. So now I run on the street and only use the gym when it's too miserable out. I truly LIKE being outdoors now, so I seem to be keeping to the schedule. If I had to go to the gym everyday, I wouldn't do it because I just don't like it.

    I guess the moral of the story is if you like it, you'll do it. So find what you like and tell the fam to buzz off. Best of luck and I hope to see you around the site for a good long time :)
