Hey everyone,
Needless to say I need some serious lifestyle changes etc

I have to/want to/need to loose pretty much a fully grown human being so I am looking for people in the same boat or anyone seeking mutual support, share experiences or guide me to groups/discussions to help me in my cause.

    To be honest, you need to tell yourself right this minute this very moment.... It won't be easy. It will require planning, focus and a willigness to stick with the plan. You slacked off enough and now its time to light the fire inside you that is laying dormant! Because you are strong... you are courageous and when a challenge stares you down - you smile and say I accept.

    Plot out a weekly routine and get excited for it! Plan a balance of cardio sessions and weight lifting sessions and as your fitness increases the intensity of these sessions should as well!

    If you can tell yourself this and set the plan in motion -- your mind has already won 50% of the battle! If you ever need some motivation I personally love some of the YouTube videos out there that really get my juices flowing!

    I have lost 30 lbs on my journey and so I know you got what it takes.

    Much Love yo!
    Dont stop till you get enough and then keep goin!

    I wish you the best! I think the first 10-15 pounds are the hardest to lose, but you are on the way there! Congrats!

    Hi! I posted my initial goal as 75 pounds as I get depressed when I think of having to lose over a hundred pounds. My goal is to get there and then set another goal for the next round. At 5'2" and started at 222, should get down to about 110. I have lost 2 pounds in my first week which if I look at how it compares to the big goal I can get depressed, so I have to look at it by itself. I see a lot of people here have done this. Go for it!

    Hi everyone, though it is time to revive this post. I have failed yet again in my quest to become healthier. Had a great personal loss and I was soon back where I started and then a few more lbs. I have recently started again and so far lost about 20lbs. I am on a very strict program and it sometimes gets to me, but I had to do something very drastic. Still such a long way to go and some days I still feel like I want to give up and that I do not deserve this. Add me if you have some struggles yourself and also need some support.

    Hi Minca,
    I'm sorry you feel depressed. Just think how happy you will be when you've started to the results. A good tip is to have a favourite bit of clothing, hanging where you can see it most of the time and keep cutting down on calories until it's fits and you feel good in it!
