Welcome...I'm not new, but starting over again, I'm in the 200's to so I sent you a friend request. Right now I'm focusing on one meal at a time, and starting slowly working out (till I get some heart test done the drs don't want me over doing it I'm doing a mile walk on my days off and a plank challenge.)0

OP, there is nothing you can do about the past, you only have control over today. Put your stats into MFP and if it helps, pick a small goal, like half a pound per week. And just start logging. Eventually it will become a habit and you won't always need to rely on motivation. Pick one small thing to change each week, something you KNOW you can do. The little things may seem like a waste of time, but doing nothing would be a far worse waste of time, right?
You can do it, MFP is full of normal people who have. Best of luck0 -
OP, you are wonderful and beautiful! We all are!! You already took the first step by seeking out help. Set small achievable goals.For example, a goal could be to not skip meals. To add a vegetable to every meal, to walk for 15 minutes 3 times a week or everyday. You choose goals thats important to you and achievable and work on that while logging here on mfp. You will have ups and downs (we all do) but you can do it.0

I know how you feel. I think most people on this site have been there. The worst is when I saw a picture of myself fishing with my son....i was literally 2x as wide as him. Then I went to the doctor a few months later and stepped on the scale. That did it. I finally had proof that I was obese and I had to change. I have never been this big! Not even when I was 9 months pregnant....ugggghhhh
But since june I have lost a little over 20 pounds. I have slipped many times, I skipped gym days, but i kept going forward. At first I had to treat it like a job. I "had" to eat healthy 90% of the time. I "had" to go for a walk or do something active everyday. Then It got easier and I started to enjoy it again. But it did not happen over night. I feel good. My body doesnt hurt. I have more energy. I dont sweat walking up the stairs. I might be able to get off my blood pressure meds if I loose another 30 pounds. I hope by next year at this time I will be back in some of my old clothes.
You can do this. You are already making a step. You are on here and saying you want things to change. Surround yourself with the right people. This site is full of people that will help you and share their stories with you. I have over 60 pounds to loose, and everyday I have to check in with myself.
