    Berating someone is not the same as motivating them. Not for me, and I'm sure not for most people who choose to use a site called myfitnessPAL.

    I don't think you read my original post; at no point did I say I was looking for a trainer. I don't need someone shouting at me to get me to do exercise. So for you to say I need someone to call me on my "bull****" went down like a sack of bricks.

    I was just saying what works for me. If I have a trainer telling me what to do I will kill myself trying to do it cos i'm a proud person and don't want to let myself or anyone else down.

    You know, I have found the same to be true with my job. Basically, that is how I found myself here, needing to lose some weight and get in shape. I received a promotion about three years ago. My days consist of numerous meetings and travel. Sitting and eating are a part of the routine now. Congrats for making the decision to "make up for 5 years of office living".

    My biggest problem has never been that I can't shift weight, it's that I struggle to stay motivated once I start to see results - I get complacent. I don't know whether using the app or this site will help, or how, but it's worth a shot.

    I have the same problem!!! Once I get to the point where I see results, I am quick to revert to my old ways, thinking that I will miraculously be able to "maintain" my weight. So far the app is working well for me, because I get to see everyone else's progress and I feel more accountable too.

    Best of success to you! If you need some motivational friends, please feel free to add me!




    I have same issue as solid rule in weight loss "Is in brain " I gain weight when I am not happy and somehow dont like myself .Good luck anyway

    hey all, I am a 39 year old Indian Male, presently in a sedentary desk job in India. Joined primarily to try and get some of the old shape back. I used to be a competitive rower and squash player, but work and family life has taken its toll and I have put on about 15 KGs more than what I should weigh.
