Tell us your motivation. :)

Love.

I've been big my whole life and right now I'm 20 and wanting to lose weight to hopefully find someone to spend the rest of my life with.

I know it can seem so hard when you first start but one of the perks to be big your whole life is when you workout the pounds just fly off of you. It's the tiny people who have the hard time losing weight.
What are some of the things you are doing to get fit and how have they helped
?
Date a fitness instructor that way you guys can work out together ~

I have a million....
But I can't seem to stick to anything and the scale just goes up....
I would say the one that's most hurtful is my husbands never seen me naked...
But I continue to fail.... I'm not sure I'm sure I've reached a bottom again, but I'm wondering if it will take a heart attic at change what I can't seem to

I think what helps me along is that I kept telling myself to never see it as a failure. Tomorrow is always a new day and a new chance. I think doing this for yourself is the first step. It would be nice to lose the weight for someone you love but that could be why your having a hard time with it. When you make it personal and I mean really personal ( About you ) it's more important.

First step, stay away from the scale. Im 186 lbs and people think im 160 ish. when I tell them how heavy I am they don't believe me. Your body type has a lot to do with where your weight is going. scales can be useless sometimes. I would suggest not stepping on a scale every week. I would weight 3 weeks to a month to check. You also lose inches before the weight! Always true to the word. Inches come first. Weight comes second.

To help me along I have a workout partner. A co worker who quit smoking and needs to be in shape. I also treated myself to nice nike shoes and cute workout tights etc. Things to motivate me. You gotta have fun with your workouts. its not always fun..but trust me when you really want it and you are doing something almost everyday ..that drive to do more gets stuck in you and all you think about is working out.

Music helps too. I love music. I bought some sound cancelling headphones and I use them to zone out and jam.

all in all I would say getting up early or maybe before dinner time find a local track even if its a highschools... put your headphones in and walk. let the music take you away. You can friend me if you want. I would love to hear how it all works out for you.

bump :flowerforyou:

A little too revealing but I want to be able to see ALL of my bride when we make love.

My gut is too big and blocks my view!

Hey it's cool. I feel like 95% of people on here want to lose weight for similar reasons. everyone want to look good naked.

It sounds really bad, but I don't want to be my mother, I love her, and I hate thinking she is not going to be with us as long as she should because she doesn't take care of herself.

you and I could talk. I spent my whole life thus far trying to be everything but my own mother. She is a big girl and she doesn't seem to even try. Sometimes shed walk around the house in clothes that didnt fit her and it would upset my friends. She just doesn't want to lose the weight even after the doctors told her she needs to because its killing her slowly.

I have many goals I'd love to achieve over the years and with all of them I'm going to need a strong body (physically and emotionally). The discipline that comes with achieving fitness is something that will only make these goals more attainable, too. And yeah, who doesn't want to look foxy out of clothing? :drinker:

So badly do I want to be able to preform well. Discipline is a major factor in fitness and wellness. good for you though. more power to you!
