I need more motivation!

Hello, my name is Kaitlin. I'm thirteen days from being 21. I really don't want to spend my twenty-first year as an unhealthy, overweight young woman.

I'm 5'7 and I weigh way too much and I need/want to lose weight. I just can't seem to find the motivation. I really want to lose between 50-100 pounds. I know that that is going to take time. And I'm okay with that. I just need someone to help keep me motivated when I want to eat that ice cream. I'm looking for someone I can maybe message on here or maybe even text sometimes? Maybe even workout together. I don't know. I just need more people who are going through what I am going through.

    Hey Kaitlin! Feel free to friend me and message me whenever! I'm on everyday and have an open diary. I love to talk with people! I'm just a couple months shy of turning 20, so we are similar in age. :)

    Sent friend request for support! You can do this! And about the ice cream...I ate some most days and still lost weight :) This is not just about dieting, but it's a life change! You can still have your ice cream and weight loss too, but its about portion control and less in more out. Message me if you need more assistance or just looking for a dose of motivation! Best of luck to you!

    Hey there! I think it's great you're reaching out to find a community on here and it sounds like you're getting good responses, but I gotta tell ya, the motivation is going to have to come from within. No one can make you want it, you have to dig down deep and find that strength internally.

    You can do it! Look around at the success stories on here - people are doing amazing things every day and so can you :) Good luck!

    Well...I am not a good candidate then...I eat an ice cream bar every night!

    Strange thing...I rarely ate ice cream until I decided to lose weight...so far...it hasn't hindered me. I actually think it helped...knowing that I could still have a treat and lose weight.
