Need to lose about 150 lbs

MomofAnt

I only need to lose half a pound more than you! It seems like such a huge mountain to get over to lose pretty much half your body weight but it CAN be done.

The best advice I can give you is to not look at that giant mountain. Ever. Instead of thinking, "Oh my god... how am I going to do this forever?" DON'T! Just tell yourself that you just have to do it today. One day isn't so bad, right? Tomorrow, wake up and tell yourself the same thing.

That's very inspirational :-) I'm thinking of adding it to my goal poster I'm gonna hang right beside my bed.

There's something that I also need to do for myself that you may want to look into. I'm going to make a video recording of myself, to my future self. I basically plan on talking like I'm talking to an entirely different person rather than just myself... because I basically will be an entirely different person by the time I'm done. I'm going to make it and say all sorts of things like "Don't even let yourself get like me again...", "Look how far you've come." etc. Then I'll watch it a year from now and probably cry like the little girl I am.

To anyone who is in this boat (I need to lose 100 lbs)....I have friends who are recommending me to change my diet to a plant-strong diet. One friend lost over 100 lbs by doing this. Highly recommend watching the movie "Forks Over Knives" which can be streamed on Netflix, read the book "Forks Over Knives". This same friend also works with Engine 2 Diet....which also has a book/plan. Both books have great recipes. (I just got the books last week). I have yet to make the full committment but I plan on doing the Engine 2 challenge soon.

That is a great idea! It's kind of like writing a letter to your future self, but with upgrades, LOL.

Please bear with me...I'm trying to figure this Forum thing out, and I'm having a heck of a time! I was trying to quote, but it's deleting the fact that it was quoted. Maybe it's the browser I'm using?
