in Getting Started
three years ago I lost about 40 pounds. since then I've been up and down like crazy, and I'm getting awfully close to my old weight. I commit to working out and cutting calories for short amounts of time, but I always lose my drive half way into the fight. I think maybe my heart hasn't been in the right place, I wanted to lose weight for other people and not myself. and I approached it with an all- or-nothing. do-it-myself attitude.
This time I want to do this for me! I know that my weight and negative body issues are keeping me from enjoying my life like I should. I 'm sick of telling myself "when I'm thin..." I want to like myself and be and feel happy, no more excuses for anything. my weight is my problem I'm taking control. I know this time, i'm going to need some help. I know from experience I can't do it alone. I need support, and I need someone to hold me accountable.

I'm looking for a weight loss buddy.

    I am in a similar boat. Maybe we can hold each other accountable. I have no more excuses.

    Hi! I have also been in that position of losing weight and then putting almost all of it back on. Its a horrible feeling and an extreme shot to the self esteem. One thing I can say is that once you're motivated again and seeing results it is just as easy as it was the first time. You just have to push forward, create small goals, and work your butt off to achieve the main goal. You can do it!

    Edited to add: I don't mind if you add me.

    Same here, lost it, gained it back a few times. Tired of excuses and all that. I am open to friends to motivate me and who also need motivation. I find that it's a friendly competition and accountability all at the same time!

    hi. i used to weight around 240 lbs and during my practical , i had lost around 13 pounds in 4 months. that had been the greatest happiness for me but ever since i graduated 3 months ago my weight had increased and know i am around 250 lbs. i lost confidence so much but i never lost my appetite (screw me!). i try to loose weight but failed everytime. i think the reason is because im always at home and food always around me. so i hope by joining this groups can motivate us together to lose weight :-) btw can u suggest any exercise that suitable to be done at home? i had done fitnessblender cardio workout but can only survive in first 5 minutes.

    Hi,please add me as well. I am on my way to losing 100 lbs., 3 weeks in and 10 lbs. down. I am feeling pretty confident, and I can see the changes already, so that is a big help! I know we can do it!

    I personally like Leslie Sansone for in home exercising, especially for those that have a lot to lose and need to start out with something doable. She has MANY levels of walking exercises, and I just love her! I like the Body For Life strength training regimen for my weight days.
