60+ lbs to go Support Needed

Katzilla82

Hi I've been a member here for about 10 months. I've been yoyo dieting since I was 18. Since my recent weightloss journey I started at 290 after the birth of my son November 2010. Most of my weightloss was from portion control. I'm now stuck at 230 but I know I need motivation to get to my goal weight of 160. I'm 5'9 so that would make me look slim. I really want that sexy confidence I had yrs ago. My husband and friends could care less about my journey. They've barely noticed I've dropped a whole lot of weight. So I'm really needing as much support from mfp as possible because I'm struggling on my own. Thanks

You've done a great job so far! I know it's hard to get motivated -- I'm in the same boat. I've lost 30 pounds and can't seem to find the motivation to keep going.

Feel free to add me as a friend. The folks on this site are wonderful at supporting and motivating others. I wouldn't have been able to lose the first 30 pounds without them.

Our weight loss journeys sound very similar

Sorry to hear that you don't have much support at home. That must be discouraging.

But don't let it get you down! Great job on losing 60lbs so far!

great job.. im just starting this today... and i was devastated when i went to the drs yesterday and found out i gained 20 lbs... grrr so its dieting time. I am the same way. I dont get motivated myself. I need to know there are people out there like me that needs that extra encouragement and support. I have always had trouble losing weight no matter what I do. bigness runs in my family and its very hard and frustrating esspecially when I want to buy clothes cant find nothing that looks good on me. Of course I have people out there say that looks good on you but me it looks awful.....

It's definitely easier with support from all these lovely people on MFP. I'd been gaining and losing the same 4lbs since i started 8 months ago and then i finally realised i need help. Since doing that i've lost 5lbs in the last 3 weeks which is a HUGE amount for me to lose and it's all because of the support and motivation i've received from my friends. You've done amazingly well on your own so i know you can do this! I'm sending you a friend request now x
