In need of support, motivation and help

Sooooo I just realized I need to change everything I entered when I first got this app.. The weight I was going off was when I was pregnant and haven't been on a scale since then.. So I think today will be my official start of my weight loss journey, even though I'm sad by the number. I don't know what to do at this point. It's extremely hard talking to people because of the lack of motivation or you have people constantly calling you "fat". Open to adding more new friend on here.

    Hello

    My name is Martina and I just started back logging in and eating better and I've lost 3 pounds. It's hard but so worth it because we're worth it. I think I've finally got it-- just replace bad choices with good choices. Admitting you need motivation is the first step. I'm here for you!!

    You can add me, I have a lot of weight to lose and I have been active every day since I joined this website. I started my weightloss a month ago.

    Aww, I just want to give you a hug. I was horrified by the number I heard not too long ago as well. I have so much to lose. The only thing we can do is take it day to day. We keep doing the right thing every day and we will see those results. I'm sending a friend request!

    Hello.
    Sad to say but you can't discuss this journey with everyone. Everyone won't be happy for you and everyone won't encourage you. The first step is deciding to make the change and it seems as though you have done that. Find out how many calories you need to eat a day to loose weight. Then take one day at a time. I have been doing this about four months. I find that watching YouTube weight loss videos has been a great motivation for me. You also get great tips from others who have been through the process.

    You tube and instagram are my go to places to look at weight loss journeys.

    Thank you. I have a beachbody account but not the primary one where I can view videos and stuff. After baby #1 I maintain weight but with baby #2 my weight was up and down between 180-190.. So this is weight I gained after baby and I never been in 200s before so it's kinda of a surprise to me. Also thanks for the picture that gives me hope.
