    Youre here and thats a great step! You can do it. Find something or someone that pushes you, a friend, child, loved one and use that. I have a friend who is amazing. Anytime I start to get down she brings me back and tells me how far I have come and what a great job I am doing. That or if you can hire a personal trainer. Mine works my butt off and it is a big help to know if I cheat I have her to face.

    I began 2 yrs ago next month after my best friend died from complications of bariatric surgery. So far I've lost 54 and need to lose another50-60. 50 would get me back to my wedding weight 19yrs ago. Its hard and I got stuck in the 240's and just wouldn't budge. was sooo happy when the nurse at my dr's said 237. I agree with everyone, you just need to find motivation. I do it for my friend in her memory-god do I miss her. I've got a ton of arthritis/pain in my spine n its harder for me. My goal is to be able to look good next yr when we go to the ocean. haven't worn a bikini since 10th grade. thats kind of a goal, that n fitting into my wedding dress again.

    you're better off with this site, look i've been here for no more than 2 days and i have seen it and done it all when it comes to losing weight, I was fit (thus my username) but i let go of a perfectly healthy lifestyle for whatever reason.

    There is nothing like putting real work in. "There art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness."-- Franz Kafka... Beat those 2 and you'll be free. Keep in mind that Our patience will achieve more than our force, so don't stress just enjoy the ride to your goal and stay on the right track.

    "Hopeless" would be with no options period. You have options. Number one IMO you have to change your thinking and believe it's possible. If not, then you'll never succeed.

    You are not hopeless. I'll bet you are successful at many things. As someone wiser than I once said " whether you believe you can or believe you can't--you are right!" There are LOTS of things that work to lose weight. You just need to believe that will find what works for you personally. It may take some time and thought and and, perhaps note keeping, but you can discover--and overcome-- your personal stumbling blocks. Just identify one at a time and make the little, incremental changes to address that one area. We ALL want instant results but, hey that just isn't going to happen. But so many people on this site are living proof that you can have the body you want! Little positive changes add up to great big successes. Good luck!! We are all behind you to encourage you forward....just like you will now do for us!

    Please don't be hopeless. Just don't expect super fast miracles. Slow and Steady is the way to go and you will begin to see the little successes that will motivate you to keep it up. You will begin to find exercise easier and making healthy food choices will come along too. You have to have some will-power and good decision making. You Can Do It!!!!
