in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone,
I have really been struggling this past year and a half to lose weight. In 2015, I had lost 50 lbs and just felt so great about myself. I wasn’t “skinny skinny” but I felt so comfortable in my skin. However due to a very erratic work schedule and a lot of back pain I’ve gained all of it back. I have started and stopped so many times that it is laughable. I know it’ll be hard for me to stay on track and exercise regularly, but it’s not impossible. I’m hoping I can find someone here with similar struggles like mine and we can support each other. I stress eat all the time and use my back pain and work schedule as a crutch to not move forward in my weight loss. I’m hoping someone can be the motivation and support I need because right now I am my own worst enemy. Thank you! :)

    I relate!! I don't have a busy schedule, but I do have anxiety which makes very easy things seem nearly impossible. Feel free to chat me up!! x

    I can relate too! I am looking for someone who really wants to encourage me and I will encourage them. I need to lose about 30 lbs and I'd be happy, but I've gotten down 8 lbs and gained it back over the summer. So disappointed in myself, but I won't quit trying. Feel like I'm starting over again at ground zero for the nth time. I know I dont feel as good physically when I add the weight, so it's time for it to go this time! Send me a request if interested. :D We can do this!

    I can definitely relate to your story. I'm so glad I decided to look here today. I feel very discouraged today. Folk who've never experienced it don't understand. I think I'm still living in the past "when I lost" and now that all and more is back it's like I can't believe I let it pile on again. I'm always there for others and it's like I'm just growing and people really don't realize I it's affecting me. So whatever we can do to support one another I'm all for it.

    Hey. Same thing for me. I lost 50 pounds then gained most of it back unfortunately. Now I'm going back at it and lost 17 pounds so far. Add me up so that I can keep supporting you!
