Lacking motivation to start again

melaniejsparks

Hey guys,

Wanted to introduce myself, I'm Melanie I'm 32, and have been overweight since having my daughter 5 years ago.
Previously I never had to try to stay in shape I was naturally a size 10 with a great curve. Now I'm a 14-16 and flabby.
I have tried ever diet known to man and I get obsessive for the first few months, see great results and something makes me give up, any small little excuse and I find it to no go to the gym or eat junk!

I just don't know how to keep this going long term and I'm hoping to find some help and like minded people on mfp to keep my motivation high xxx

It happens with everybody. Last time i tried to workout was a year back and gave up in few days. Now my friends and my relatives make fun of me. Fear and insults are big motivation factors. I had my total cholestrol of 229. Which is high for my age of 28. And my wieght 169 pound also high. Now iam trying to work out from past 3 months and lost 5kg (12 lbs). Initially i wore tight clothes which are very uncomfortable to me in office. My colleages laughed at me and i was motivated to start. I dont go to gym. I only jog, walk and eat less. But it is working for me.

Just go out and fix some targets, make frnds in mfp and take their help. I some saw profiles who lost pounds like hell which also helped me.
