I was recently fit. I remember what felt like to be handsome. now I gained 60lbs in 5 months and

You just need to start. Seriously, the good feelings will come back almost right away and it'll become easy again! Trust that you can do it and you will!

Start now! You are in the right place. You have been fit and strong so recently, what you have built in your body before is still there right under the surface. Don't wait any longer to give yourself what you REALLY want - health and strength and a lean, capable body. I've heard it said: "Don't give up what you REALLY want for what you just want 'right now'."

MFP can REALLY help. Get some friends - which is pretty easy, any of us who comment back will likely accept a friend request from you - log your food, log your exercise, an come in under your goal, one day at a time. In an amazingly short time you will feel better and you will feel progress and you will feel PROUD.

Just do it. You know you can, because you did in the past. GOOD LUCK!

Then get back into it? If you did it before, you can still do it now o.o

Quit feeling sorry for yourself and wishing for a genie. YOU have the power. NOW GET TO IT!!

I hate this. I feel so crappy. I love food. I was away from good food for so long. Now its everywhere. I can't help myself. I feel so fat. I'm now 255. What the heck. 5 months ago I was running 2 hours a day could do pull ups like nothing. Push ups sit ups all day now I can barely do 25. I need to kick this. I want to feel attractive again. I want to feel healthy again.

You got this! Step by step. You got this!

You say you can do 25? Start from there and be consistent than 3 weeks later, increase the pressure. Start slow, be consistent, do try to over do it. Exercises and diet run hand and hand.

From the looks of it your still attractive,and besides its not whats on the outside,its what's on the inside,you must first learn to love you for who you are,then it will all fall into place. I've battled a weight problem for the past 5 years,I was 286 lbs,and now I'm down to 112.8 lbs,its not easy,I hated myself for a long time,even when I was losing weight,I hate the extra skin,on my belly,its awful, and sometimes I wish,I'd just gain weight back so I don't ever have to look at it.but then I realized,I feel better,I can walk a distance without,having to stop and breathe, I still hate the mirror,but I see progress. And I'm learning to love me for me. Ohhh, I highly reccomend to order T-25, I've been doing it for three weeks now,and I'm seeing a big difference,I promise, you will get back on track. Good luck to you my friend, and god bless.:-)

You can do it!! I did something sort of similar.. Lost almost 40 pounds and gained it right back. It's really depressing when it happens. But get yourself on track! You've done it once and you can do it again. For what it's worth, I think you're handsome

The good news is that your body remembers how it felt to be healthy and youll bounce back alot quicker than if you were starting after a lifetime of weight gain rather than a few months. Imagine being like many of the people on here that have NEVER felt that sense of health and well being. If they can fight for a feeling that theyve never even experienced than your experience should certainly be your motivation.

You got this man, keep your head up. Hit me up if you need a kick in the pants. I know I need one somedays.

Getting started is alway sooo hard, but ones you get going you will feel so much better. I fell of the wagon a bit myself this winter, trying to get back on:) You are a very handsome guy, you got this!!!

it up to you to get going gl

We all start somewhere. You are in the right place to start your journey. We have fun on the forum but we are here because we are all serious about losing those pounds and making fitness and healthy living our priority. You did it once and you can certainly do it again and this time with a great bunch of people to help motivate and hold you accountable. Good luck.
