in Success Stories
Well I'm posting this sucess story because I need the motivation. I went hard for a year and went from obese to overweight. In the last month though I felt like this whole weight loss thing was taking too much time away. From everything my family, friends, and especially God. So I backed up a whole lot. I stopped getting on mfp as much and tried to scale every thing back. Thankfully I didnt gain any weight but I really didnt loose any either.

So now I just need the courage to get back on it. Especially start eating my veggies and get away from the sugar. If anyone would like to be my friend maybe we can motivate each other. I need to loose about 20 lbs to have a healthy BMI.

The first picture is 202 lbs. The second pic is right at overweight 158 a month ago.

    Wow! Fantastic job! I can't wait to fall into the overweight zone myself. I have about 40 lbs to go. But I've already lost that plus some since coming here so hopefully it won't take me too long.

    I too have been frustrated with the amount of time losing takes. One reminder I see people post often helps to keep it in perspective, "The weight didn't go on overnight. It's not going to come off overnight."

    Keep up the work. You've done great so far.

    It does take time. But it adds time, too.

    You're adding years to your life. You're going to have extra time for your family, your friends, and your spirituality. Take advantage of it!

    Excellent work!! Sometimes, those last few pounds are the hardest to come off. You should be proud that despite scaling back, you haven't gained any weight. I hear you on the diet thing taking away from other things in your life. I manage to carve out 40 mins right after work for a workout before rushing home to my 5 year old-sometimes, I wonder if this should be time I spend with him instead? Maybe you can try just scaling up a little bit more-doesn't have to be as drastic as before but, just enough to get you going again..YOU CAN DO IT!
