Help! I need some motivation boost!

I would start ANY type of structured program - DVDs, c25k, anything! It will give you focus, a goal (finishing!) and definitely results! Oh....and then read your profile pic...everyday you can do it!

Edit: I've completed 3 Jillian Michael's DVDs and am on my 4th. Have lost 36 lbs. and 24 inches, endured a 2 month plateau, kept 'at it' and am losing again. Patience and faith!

I haven't been using weights.. only brisk walking. How many lbs should I start with?

Start out slow, 3 to 5 pounds, you will feel sore in the beginning, be sure to stretch after workout. Google some beginning strength workouts. Livestrong, WebMD, ACEfitness.org are good sites to check out. You are on your way....!

Remember that this journey is something you will start alone......if you are hell fire bent on success know that the person to your left and to your right will fail.............You have to accept this and keep moving forward........You are all the support system that you need because you hold all the cards.........if you don't go workout its nobody's fault but your own that you didn't pull your big *kitten* off the couch and get it done!!!! In this journey there is no room for excuses......If you are like me I have spent a great deal of my life making them and regreting them. Its nice that people support what you are doing but know this.........a lot of them will talk **** about you when you walk away...........not because of what you are doing its because of what they are not doing! So that is the alone part............read it and know it WILL happen and when it does rejoice because you will know you are going in the right direction! A lifestyle change............its time to make some tough decisions.........I know there where a lot of people in my life that never made my life any easier..........These are the people that rolled there eyes when I said I can't go here or there because I was on a diet and needed to stay focused or told them I needed to go to the gym..........These are the people that now ask me OMG what are you doing to loss the weight............Inside I just smile knowing even if I told them what I have done to loss this much weight they will never really do anything with that information. A lot of these people I had to cut loose because there lifestyle was not condusive to mine........you will have to make a choice at some point about this..........some more drastic than others.........Knowing that if I have friends with the same goals and lifestyles in mind then my lifestyle change doesn't seem like a change anymore it seems normal. So to sum all this up: Misery loves company................and it is a lonely place at the top!!!!!!!! So find as many people as you can to hang out with you up there!!!!!

My fire to lose weight is reducing since I amnot seeing any changes in my body. Please help me before I completely stop. I don't want that to happen. Please share your before & after pics. Body transformation in 3-4months. Share your story when you felt low & what kept you going. Anything & everything that will keep me & many others like me on track.

Thank you.
