In need of encouragement and that "extra push"

dicoveringwhoIam

I have a significant amount of weight to lose. I started working with a trainer 2x wkly and doing zumba 1x a wk. My trainer has me scheduled for my first 5k in May. I want to be more than ready. My husband is all for me losing weight m yet he doesnt care that I am over weight. He just doesn't seem to "get it." He doesnt know how to be supportive when I am having a food melt down bc I didnt meet my calories or bc I am really craving something I shouldnt have and it would put me over my calories. I would love tips and encouragement. I am trying hard. I have lost 23lbs in the last 4wks with lots more to go.

hang in there! you're really doing awesome its hard when others aren't as supportive as you need them to be - your husband may not understand how hard weightloss can be.

Hello! I'm glad you've got some ambitious goals. You've done a great job so far losing 23lbs in the last month or so! I have been on this site for a while but just started using the features outside of just exercise/calorie tracking. I don't know how helpful I will be in terms of tips, but I would be pleased to offer encouragement. I'm looking for motivation more than anything on this site. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.

Hey,

I've been there, I did weight watchers a while back, lost 28 lbs but wasn't motivated to do much more, so I fell off the wagon and then I found this site....if you want, you can friend me and I'll do my best to help motivate. I also blog my weight loss journey daily so that I can help motivate and inspire others to do the same, so if you want, check it out and friend me on here and we can help keep each other motivated :happy:

No, I dont think he does know how to support me. I am excited about how a workout went and I tell him and all he can say is are you sure you can do a 5k bc youre not running yet.. uuuggghhhh He absolutely doesnt get it..

I did my first 5k last May and probably only started running in late March. I did the Couch to 5k program. I didn't quite get to finish the program, but I did my first race with a few walk breaks. I am still working on building endurance to run the whole race through, but I keep hitting health related snags and haven't gotten to a point where I can run for more than 11 or 12 minutes without taking a short walk break.
