in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. I am from Ohio. I am 27 years old. Overweight as you can tell by my ticker below. All my life I have never been skinny. I've always been overweight. I don't even know what its like to fit into skinny clothes. I also have polycystic ovary disease as well which makes it a pain to lose weight.

I'm looking forward to this group as I really need the motivation to keep doing this until it becomes a habit. I will usually try something and then I end up doing the oh I'm busy, oh I'm sore, oh I'm tired, tomorrow, in a couple days..etc etc. When I had someone with me to work out I would do it, but my work out partner kinda pushed me to the way side so I stopped. So I need my "work out partner" again even if it is someone just going did you do your work out today?

    I as well have always been overweight. It's not easy when it's been a part of your life forever - but think of how good you will feel once you accomplish it. I try to drink a bottle of water before I have my meals, it helps fill me up. Also, eating an apple before dinner helps keep me full.

    How did you get your ticker to weight lost? I want to switch mine from pounds to go, to pounds lost.

    Viktoriasecre it asks you when you set it up if you want it to be weight lost or weight to go. Go edit it and see if it will let you.

    Welcome! I love it - it is the easiest way to lose weight. I thought I could do it with just exercise this time, but realize I have to track what I eat, and it is very important part of it...so I am back again. You can do it - we all need to keep each other motivated!!!

    Welcome. I'm with ya in that I've never been skinny but I'm looking forward to knowing what it's like :) Just never let yourself make excuses. You're your own worst enemy or your best friend in that regard :) Make working out as much something you need to do in the day as brushing your teeth. It's when you look at it as optional that you might run into trouble.
