thanks all!

@kuragyan‌ you CAN do it! You have to really want it and get yourself motivated. I definitely know it's a struggle. What I did was make an instagram account and start following fitness pages and look at lots of progress and follow other people so you can get some ideas. Also you can join a group, like I joined Zumba and I have NO rhythm.. I was super scared but nobody even pays attention to you it's so much fun! I go for an hour and it goes by so fast. You can find recipes online.. And also eat lots of fruits and veggies, make sure you have them in your fridge all the time so when you snack you'll grab one of those.. I used to eat a ton of junk. I know in the beginning it's so hard to break the habit but once you break it, it gets so easy! And it's so worth it. Surround yourself with people who can motivate you! Get a fitness friend with similar goals.


@ShifuYaku‌ no that's fine! I don't mind long comments it's hard to remember how long it took because honestly it's been awhile since I was 190s. I've been overweight my whole childhood and have tried everything along the way, I think I was more than 190 actually, only because I see photos that look a lot bigger than 190. But that was in middle school. I started walking home everyday from school and cut out soda completely for one year. After that year my weight was at 175 and stayed that way for the majority of high school. I moved to Canada and started walking five or six + miles a day, and never weighed myself nor dieted and went down to 145. I think that just moving around made a huge effect on my weight, walking a LOT. When I saw the scale after moving back to the states that was the time I got motivated and went down to 135, by eating healthier, counting calories, I started running about a half mile all the way up until I was running 6 miles, and keeping busy. I actually moved again and gained weight again, up to 156, because we moved to Alaska and it's cold so you can't go out and walk without freezing which made it hard.. Plus it's dark and depressing, I finally got so sick of feeling that extra weight that I started Zumba and cut out all candies/ chips/ every junk food and started buying healthy cereals, fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, granola bars, I drank a lot of tea and water... My weight was 130 at that point but then I got pregnant lol! I know it's been a long journey, I stayed pretty healthy thru pregnancy and actually only gained 15-20lbs. I remember my weight directly after coming home from the hospital was 146... Once she was born I continued to eat healthy and my weight dropped to 125 in the next months. I've been eating somewhat what I want, but also limiting intake so I don't go overboard. My weight is usually within 5-7lbs. Right now I'm 130, I'd say that starting out.. you can gradually add exercise, without dieting. Just pay attention to your body and when you feel full. If you're not hungry, then drink some water instead. I lost the majority of my weight without even dieting, I just lived a lot more actively and kept busy with things everyday. I didn't start counting calories for awhile after that. I don't know about fasting because I've never tried it, but have you considered doing things like Zumba? Because the time flies by! And you can burn up to 800 calories in the hour classes. You can add and message me, I just made this myfitness thing today I don't know how to use it but I'll figure it out lol!

@Meraid‌ thank you! :-) I'm glad you have some inspiration. You can do anything!! Just gotta set your mind to it. You can add me if you want

I thought I looked smaller if I pulled my shirt down as far as I could....
