Ready to try again

So I see these 40 & 50 year old women who are in great shape & confident & I think to myself I'll never have that. I'm 28 & my best years are already behind me. I didn't start out overweight. I had my son at 21, didn't lose the baby weight& slowly added to it over the years. I'm now almost 190 & ashamed that I let myself get here. I've tried to lose weight before, even with this site. I always seem to lose 10 or so pounds, plateau, then start to gain!! Which causes me to give up. I hope I realize what I'm doing wrong & can work through it. I'm going to try again. My weakness is sweets & lack of motivation to exercise, but I'm going to try hard too overcome them...I don't want this to be the best I'll ever be...wish me luck! & if you believe, pray for me.

  • My second time here I lost 22lbs last time only gained 9on so um ready to lose those pesky last 9
  • I'm not gonna say good luck,,,,that to me always seems to let us kinda not having to do the work.....luck has nothing to do with it really....we have to be in a good place in our hearts and mind to get going...at least that's what I have learned along the way. That's why I'm hoping this time is different,,,so I will say...be strong with yourself and believe you can do it . When you have a setback. Shrug it off and keep going.......at least that's what I'm gonna try to do.

    No point in 'trying' you need to "Just Do It"

    It is so easy to get discouraged, but stick with us. Perhaps we can be accountable to each other. I have an awful lot of weight to lose and if I look at that, it is daunting. I am trying this time to just take one day at a time and eat right. Not diet, but be sensible. Friend me if you like. I will be happy to say a prayer for you! Pam
