EYE....Need Friends & Motivation :/

shayl995

My name is Shay and I've been basically struggling with weight my whole life. I'm 18 years old and I'm at 225lbs. I can't provide details now but will later. Many people say that I don't look that heavy overall but my arms and my stomach really gives it away. I really need to get in shape and eat right because almost every female in my family is a Diabetic. I REFUSE to become one so something has to be done!! Last Summer of 2013 I was super motivated to loose weight because I had other friends to do it with, but they eventually gave up and soon after I did too. I was doing the Shaun T25 challenge & it worked out way better than Insanity. I fully gave up in November. I use to be 217 and finding out that I gained almost 10 more pounds I am soooo depressed that I get overwhelmed with it. There are some times when I cry and some times when I just sit and ponder over if I'm EVER going to ATLEAST be under 200lbs. My mom also is heavyset, she use to attempt to eat healthy most of the time but she gave up aswell. Healthy and Organic food is so expensive that she don't even bother to buy it most of the time. Then I have my stepdad who fries food everyweek!! I have no choice but to eat it because it's the only thing provided on the table! Everything is just finally coming to reality and I really don't think I will be able to make it far at all. I seriously need friends to literally stay on my behind and keep me in line!! Tomorrow I will finally start to use MFP and count my calories. I will also try to make healthier choices. And Tonight I will start fresh with T25 all over again. Everyone add me and wish me luck! All is appreciated!

Good Luck! You are on the right path and you do have a choice about what you eat. And remember to drink your water!

Shay, you can do this. Just take it day by day and hour by hour if you have to. I understand being in a situation where the people around you don't have the same goals. It becomes a you and God thing because you will need his strength to get work it out everyday! I'm doing T25 also, so be encouraged and remember each day counts!
