I started out at 315lbs & I got down to 260lbs last year, but gained back up to 290lbs and I'm now stuck at this weight. I have no energy or motivation to workout anymore. I have not taken the time to make out a weekly meal schedule, but I've have every intention to.

I know what happened, I had a knee surgery last April and got off track horribly...Never got back on track. Now I'm lost and constantly stressed trying to manage my time with work, taking care of my child and the house, cooking and myself. I need help to figure out how to manage my time and how to gain back my energy and motivation.

    Start slow make small changes trying to do it all at once can be overwhelming. Set aside 5 or 10 minutes to walk around the block or even around the house if you have to. I believe the trick is setting small manageable goals and working bf your way up from there. Make small healthy changes in your meals and remember you owe to yourself and your family to be healthy. I firmly believe that children pick up more of the habits they observe us living than what we tell them to do. What are you doing right now? Can you March in place for even a few minutes and slowly increase it? I know you can do this.
