Here I Go Again

So again I am starting over and trying to lose at least 30 lb. This is like my 100th attempt and I figured maybe some motivation and friends might be helpful. I can't be the only one struggling this much. Right ?

It's gotten to the point where I am no longer myself. I no longer take pictures or want to be in any photos. I don't really want to be outside and I keep to myself. This isn't me but I know it's the weight gain so any motivation would help.

Friends Are Welcomed

    The struggle is real, lol! I completely understand where you are coming from. Starting and stopping like a broken record. I'm hoping to make this my last time starting this journey and hoping to motivate and be motivated.

    I so know what you mean..ive gone from someone who use to always take selfies to not even want to take a pic of myself, i try to get out to places where there will be less ppl so i wont feel so uncomfortable. It always seems to be a struggle with what to wear nothing makes me feel comfortable. Ive gone from 270 last August to 237 just doing a lil walking ,calorie counting and making better choices but with 4 kiddos its sometimes hard. Little by lil every pound lost adds up... Dont give up!

    4 years ago i was able to lose 84 lbs of my 100 goal. I was so close to my goal, but I began to slip on my diet. I use to love buying clothes and going out. Now I go to work and come home. My motivation has fallen once I started gaining the weight back again. Having others around to help motivate helps in times of lows.

    As of 06/01/2017 I have started my weight loss journey to improve how I feel about my outside. I personally have struggled with being self conscious about my weight since I was young. Add me and we can motivate each other through this . #dreambody

    I've really been struggling with motivating myself to exercise. I used to be super athletic all through childhood and high school, but ever since college I've really slipped on my fitness. Being an architect, working long hours in studio I just simply didn't have the time for exercise. But now, two years in and 40 pounds heavier, I need to make a change. For my happiness, for my health, for my mental well being. If anyone wants to talk feel free to message me and we can motivate each other!

    Great NSV today. I was at a family function this afternoon and my aunt asked me how my program going. I told her that I lost about 20 pounds, and she said "Oh, that's nice." I then showed her my before (taken in August, 2016) and current photo. She couldn't believe it. She asked what I'm doing and I told her that I'm logging my food and doing Leslie. Thanks Leslie for all of the great workouts and inspiration.
