NEED MOTIVATION PLEASE

I am in need of some serious motivation.. 2 years ago I weighed 180 lbs, last year I gained weight & was up to 218 before getting pregnant. My weight the day of the c-section was 262 I was done to 240 within 2 weeks while breastfeeding & after I had to stop & start bottle feeding I went back up to 257 within a week or so. I am having a horrible time sticking to a diet. My last pregnancy I was up at 290 & I got back down to 180 on my own it just seems so far away.. I feel so depressed. I went to gnc today started on their lean shakes til my body by vi shakes come in. I also bought a biggest loser video to start with. My doctor still says I need to start out slow so no p90x in my near future. I am walking in the evenings with my family as well.

    I have a 9yr old son, also with low functioning autism. Nothing in life has taught me more will power, patience and understanding! Now to apply the things he has taught me to my fitness journey and I'm good. :)
  • You are welcome to add me too. I have much more to lose than you but I feel that working together to get healthy is the best thing for everyone, even if you don't know them.
    Remember to give yourself a break but to keep your goals in mind. Do not worry about losing 50, 100 or what ever pounds today. Only think about what you can really do today.
    You have friends here that are on the same journey and we will help.
    Peace...Michelle

    Girl you can do it, keep focused and set realisic goals for yourself not everyone else. Start out small and reward yourself for every step you make towards your goal. believe me it does not happen overnight. you didnt gain weight overnight just keep that in mind
