    Fear of success can hold you back too - our mind gets comfortable in the body we are in, and we "hide" behind it. When you start to lose weight, people start to notice you more, comment on your clothes, your looks, how fabulous you are, and that is hard too sometimes - strange as that may sound! Quick question while I am here, I want to see what I have achieved in exercise, but I don't want the system to automatically add the calories I have earned to my daily total - how do I stop that?

    For me 24lb to go........

    I've wasted money on unused gym memberships, personal trainer, equipment hire but please could u let me know where I can buy motivation?

    Motivation fades only commitment counts

    Options (not personal)

    1) are you fat? Do you want to not be fat? Do you want a body that you're happy in
    2) are you healthy, do you have odd aches and pains, asthma, diabetes, joint issues or anything that can be alleviated by getting your *kitten* in gear?
    3) are your parents healthy? Do you want to be like them when you are their age or do you have another idea in mind
    4) do you get left out of things / avoid things because you simply don't think you can do it
    5) are you happy being lazy / couch potato
    6) can you walk into a shop and know that there's more chance that clothes will look good on you than not

    There's nothing as sexy as feeling strong and fit

    My fitnesspal doesnt always let me log in. As bsck up i jusy now made a kik group. #weightsupport is a group I administer if anyone is interested in being motivational to others and maybe share some stories or tips. I am struggling with weightloss. I've tried finding other supports on kik and myfitnesspal, but no luck yet. So I hope many will join and help motivate each other! It's on kik.

    I definitely agree with finding something you love! And don't be afraid to try new things. I have always enjoyed dancing, but I was worried that being so overweight would make me look stupid. One day, I just decided to be brave and try to ridiculous strobe-light/booty shaking dance class at my gym... and I love it! So now the challenge of trying to learn the steps motivates me to go back twice a week. I was also afraid to use barbells for YEARS, and I finally just put in my headphones while blasting some kick-*kitten* music, went at a very slow time, and jumped in with Strong Lifts. I never imagined how addicting I would find lifting a heavy bar and setting new personal records every day. Even if the weights I'm lifting may seem small or lame to everyone else, it's monumental to me. I gotta start somewhere!
