in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I've only just started my diet journey, I plan on just eating very healthily for now and then starting on July 1st I'm going to go to the gym 3 times a week and fitness classes 3 times a week.
However no matter how much I want to lose weight I just can never get myself motivated, any tips or tricks you could share?

    I have been eating clean unprocessed foods. Cut sugar and grain. I was stuck for awhile. Weight not shifting. So changed my eating and my exercise regime. Go to gym 4times a week, in a group situation and weight is finally shifting again. Lost 3kg in 6 weeks ,13cm, and 2%body fat. Feel great. You need to change what you are doing, your body is probably used to it. That's what I found. Read books on Paleo eating. Also sweet poison by David Gillespe, an easy read about what sugar does to your body. You will be surprised where all the hidden sugar in packaged foods are. Feel so much better after eliminating it.:smile:

    You've started out in a great place! There are tons of people here who can help motivate you. The number one thing to remember is JUST DO IT. It may seem hard, you may want to quit and take the easy route, but remember that the best things in life are hard to achieve. You can do it! And when you do, you will be so proud of yourself, and that is priceless.
