in Introduce Yourself
Hi I am 32 from Southern Indiana. I was on this site over a year ago lost about 60 lbs. Gain all but 10 back and so I then signed back up, but a week later on Jan.6th was in a real bad car accident. I crushed my pelvis broke it in 12 spots, broke my shoulder and many other smaller issues. Always food is harder to control for me than exercise. Once I start exercise , then I can control food better. Doctor has cleared me to work out again. So on this journey to reach my goal, praying everyday, once and for all. I would love friends and support of all kinds, especially those with over 100 - 200lbs to lose. I want this so bad and to never back.

    So sorry to hear about your accident but glad you are recovering!!

    Just remember - lots of people have succeeded in losing 100, 200+ pounds. And most of them started out thinking the same thing:
    "How am I going to do this?". And yet - they did it! And so will you!

    I also have a large amount to lose in the long run - I don't have an ultimate end goal, but it will probably end up about 150 pounds. And that is so overwhelming to think about. What has helped me so far in this journey to being healthier is that I don't think about the big goal. I really don't - I never think, "okay 120 more pounds to go!). I think that makes it seem like an impossible feat. Instead, I've broken it down into smaller goals. I honestly think it's made a world of difference for me. Knowing that my next goal is just to lose another 15 pounds makes this seem more attainable!

    Hi it's nice to meet you :) I am sorry to hear about your accident but I am glad you are recovering well. I would say start slow with exercise. I started just by walking them built up to other things over time as my body allowed. This is a great site and people here are so motivating and kind. :) The biggest key is make sure you are tracking and logging all of your food. Hold yourself accountable :) I started with 300 lbs to lose and have about 80 left and I have been on this journey just over 3 years :) Feel free to add me if you would like support and encouragement. Best of luck on your journey :)

    I joined this site before, but was never consistent. I have friends who lost plenty of weight using this site, but I just could not get myself together. I went to the doctor last week, and I am borderline diabetic and high blood pressure. I do not want to take meds so this is my attempt to really get back in there and lose this weight. I need people who will motivate me, because weight loss is not easy. I think we have to identify what's really holding us back (past hurt, setbacks, low self esteem, emotional eating/baggage etc.). I believe that weight loss is more than physical, it's emotional and mental. Not only are we working on our physical bodies, but we are working on becoming completely whole. So, I been doing a lot of praying and meditating, and now I am starting my journey again today. We can, and we will do it. So, let's embrace this journey, and stay motivated. Stay prayerful. Good luck.

    I have about 50lbs to lose and I hate to exercise. However, I bought a FitBit and I am enjoying the competition to get as many steps in a day as I can. It is really working for me.
