in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! My name is Ashlie! I'm currently a little over 200 lbs. I've been overweight all my life. I've tried losing weight before, but nothing really ever seemed to work for me. I was able to lose about 15 pounds about a year ago, but sadly I gained it all back...along with a few extra pounds. Also, because of my weight, I'm so lazy and I never have energy to do anything when I come home from school. It really depresses me since that's the only reason I've lost my passion for music, which is the only thing that truly makes me happy. I really need to lose weight so I can be happy in life again. I heard about MyFitnessPal and I thought this May be my chance to finally turn my life around. I hope it works and I'm ready for this challenge.

    What I have found is that being lazy is in your mind. I do not look it but I can be extremely lazy. I make a list of things I want to do the next day before I go to bed, and when I wake up I start doing them. If I don't have that list I have no reason to roll out of bed. I have had days where I had to work at 4pm till 12am. The night before I would go to sleep around 1am, but have nothing to do the next day and just stayed in bed till 3pm.

    It works for me. Make a list and do not stop until its done. Could be just going to the gym at a certain time. Simple list

    Hello Ms. Ashlie

    I just wanted to say even at your current state you are beautiful. You can also find happiness within yourself even at your current level, it doesn't have to happen just when you reach a goal. Start getting happy now that your starting to move toward that goal. The list that GplusC mentioned is absolutely awesome, it changed my life. I still have my days when I don't make a list but then I'm running around being so very unproductive.
