Would love advice ...

Hello to all of you!

I just stumbled onto this sight. I am trying, yet again, to lose the excess pounds. I'm planning on taking this slowly; rather than trying for a quick (but unsustainable) fix.

I'd love to get any advice from those here as to how to how to stay motivated, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Charli, this is gone to sound crazy, but once a week I go to a store an buy myself a article of clothing thats a size smaller. It doesn't have to be expensive just something I know I'll wear when I lose my weight. I also try them on , they usually are quite snug when purchased . But what a great feeling it is when tried on again an there not.:happy:

Honestly, this is the very first time I have stayed on track with some kind of diet and it is due to this website. I feel like I HAVE to account all of my exercise and eating to this site and that has helped alot!

Find an exercise buddy. I have been working out with a friend for almost a year now and if not for that I would have stopped getting up early to get to the gym. I want so badly to sleep in a bit, but since I have to pick her up I get my butt out of bed.

I also bought a bathing suit that I want to look half decent in and that motivates me (kind of like that silly yogurt commercial!)

I know those are things you already know, but they work!! I do not want to settle into my age, and buy bigger clothes...

Welcome:flowerforyou: There are many people on here with different motivations . For me it is for my health. I am glad I came across this site for it's convenience of calculating everything I eat into calories, carbs , protein, sugar , sodium, etc. and it is free. Plus it tells me how many calories I should consume per day to loose weight and the calories I burn from exercise. The people on here are very supportive in many ways. I am sure you will love it. I am in it not only to loose weight but to make it a life changing way to eat healthier the rest of my life. Good Luck:flowerforyou:

I have two pairs of pants hanging on my bedroom door, one pair that I can almost fit in and one pair that I am gradually making my way towards! I use this as part of my motivation and it really has helped. I try each pair of pants on every couple of weeks and I can see a change and it keeps me going. My friend did this and now she's in the pants that she wanted to be in!

I also started a blog and I put my weight loss patch from this website on my blog. It is so satisfying to see the amount of weight I've lost keep going up! And with my blog, I can discuss anything that I want (my frustrations, my excitement...) and it's free!

This site is working for me because I log in all my exercise and food and stick to the goals. In the past I would try on my own to eat less, but I was just guessing at the amount I should be eating, and I didn't really see how many extra calories I was consuming, especially with snacks. If you stick to this, it will work. :flowerforyou:
