in Introduce Yourself
So, I started (over a year ago) at 316. I tryed changing things like diet and actually excercising and I got as low as 285. It was awesome. It was a good start. The problem was that I lost motivation and had nobody that held me accountable. At the time the only motivation was that I felt fat and as many of you know, when you lose 30 pounds, you start to feel better about yourself. If the only motivation is how you feel, you can lose that motivation.

Now, I am back! I started jiu jitsu about a month and a half ago and that is an awesome workout. I know from experience that you can't out workout a bad diet so I decided to try coming back here. I also plan on going to my work gym in the mornings before work (I did that for the first time this morning and feel AMAZING.)

I am just looking for people that plan on being on here that might want to try and help hold me accountable for my goals. I hope to be able to do the same in return. Thanks.

    I totally get how you feel, been through this myself. One advice I would recommend is STICK to your workout routine no matter what and prioritize eating in moderation instead of avoiding all together. If you do so, your eating habits will change with your progress as you will actually WANT to eat healthy. Also, try visualizing yourself 6-9 months ahead..slow and steady progress will win you in this game. Add me for extra support, I am on the same path as ya.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I started running last week and could use a friend to keep me going. I'm not a huge fan of running so I am trying to figure out what people like about it. :)

    I'd be happy to share motivating efforts. I started here last year and had a 300+ run of logging before life got in the way in August. I'm keen to start over again and beat my own streak (and lose about 25 more lbs).
