in Introduce Yourself
Hi, im jessy. I live in Tennessee. I just recently found out i may have nonalcoholic steateohepatitis(NASH) and need to make a life change. But i lack an inner drive and motivation. The thought of dying young because of my weight still gives me no motivation. Im scared and just need some support if im going to change my life around...

    Welcome!

    I started a group today, for people that have a lot to lose. I personally need to lose 200 lbs or more.

    If you are interested, the groups name is Heavy Weights.

    Hope to see you there!

    I have this too. I'm currently at 186 lbs at 5'8" and my highest weight was 212 lbs. Actually, a lot of people have this condition and don't know it. Feel free to add me to your friend's list!

    Hey Jessy!!! You came to the right place and I'm sure you'll find a lot of motivation. I didn't start losing til I joined and I'm down over 40lbs now and we're about the same size! You can do this!:wink:

    Hi Jessy. I had serious doubts when I started on MFP, but it has made losing weight a lot easier than I expected.I'd be happy to be a friend.I've lost about 20 so far, 30 more to go, and that's just for my modest 1st goal.

    As for motivation, who is that little guy in your picture, is he someone who would miss you if you were gone?

    I'd be happy to be a friend if you'd like, though I don't know how to send a request.

    welcome. joining is a great first step. now start making small steps. for starters focus on staying hydrated. you should be drinking half your weight in water each day. i bought myself a cute 32oz water cup that I now take everywhere, i track my intake with each refill.

    you can do this, MFP buddies will have your back. good days and bad =))

    Lovely, I don't mean to be harsh, but if possibly dying isn't motivating you, I'm not sure how much I can. Motivation has to come from within. People can support you, sure, but this has to be something you do for yourself.

    I wish you nothing but the best, and I hope you find your drive. Please think long and hard about what being healthier will accomplish. Hopefully, you will find a good reason.

    You are heading in the right direction! You have to make a part of your routine, I set 1 hour after I get home from work and exercise!

    Hi Jessy. Are you sure that possibly dying is real to you? You say that, but sometimes we really don't believe it. When I was younger it wasn't real. But now that I'm the age when my father had his first heart bypass surgery, and my Mom has type 2 diabetes, it's pretty real for me.

    When it's real, you will be motivated.
