I just 'signed up' on this website today. I'm not really entirely sure how to use it or the exact benefits of it but it seems fabulous. I've been looking at the success stories and it's a bit inspiring because lately I haven't had much motivation. I actually started my weight loss journey(well, for the 50th time in my life) about 4 weeks ago. I've only lost 11 pounds but I'm very happy, even though I have much more to lose. I'm only feeling slightly unmotivated because I can't see ANY change in my physical appearance, but I realize being this big...it takes more weight to show a change, rather than if a small person lost the same amount, you'd see a change. Sorry for writing so much! I don't know if anyone will even read this, but that's okay. :]

    Hi Jenny,

    Welcome, I have only just signed up to this website just now. I am feeling like you I don't know how many times I have tried to lose weight. I have a number times and I get so close to my goal weight and then I lose the plot. I have put so much weight on since my hubby hasn't been working (3 1/2 months) thankfully he has a job now and I am cooking again. But I need to so desparately need to lose this extra weight. I hate being overweight as I am not happy with myself for letting myself get this way and tomorrow is a new day as I need motivation and hopefully these messages boards can help. We need to take each day as it comes. Well done in losing 11 pounds you will definately see it soon. Chat soon, Mel.

    Hi!

    Thank you for replying to my post, it's appreciated. And yes, it's very hard to lose weight. :[ I've tried so many different 'diets' and they've all failed in the long run. I've tried Nutrisystem, and surprisingly it worked. I lost 30 pounds, but once I got off of it, I didn't make healthy choices, and I gained back the 30 pounds, plus a LOTTTT more. I was so miserable! It's a horrible feeling. And now here I am. Many pounds more than I was. I'm hoping to continue this, and get more inspiration possibly from this site. Again, thanks for commenting, and I wish you luck on your journey!

    Hi,

    No problems at all. Wow you have done well in losing 30 pounds and I guess that is the key to make healthy choices instead of bad ones but everyone makes mistakes and we are all here for the same reason. No worries, good luck on your journey too.
