2 words: body dismorphia -- I'm down about 70lbs and feel the exact same way.. and why? because from beneath my chest to my knees, I see zero difference!!! Albeit, my pants size tell me otherwise, but when looking forward at myself, little change. This will be something we will need to work on mentally. We must use the…

Not that I'm obsessed, but more curious... I weigh myself almost 3 times a day.... in the morning.. naked before getting dressed, after work, when I change from work clothes to whatever clothes (typically in bra and panties) and then again at night before bed and just before I put on my pjs. It's interesting to see how I…

Hiya!! I too am on the more than 80lbs to loose!!! Fortunately, I've already come down approx 60lbs, but still have at least another 60 to go!!! Man good food is sooo hard to resist most times!!! But I am a firm believer of the 'slowly but surely' motto!!!! The physical part is the easiest... it's the mental state, for me,…

Don't let others stop you from where you want to be!!!!! When I first started out with my trainer, he would make me do things facing everyone else and would ask: do you think they are concerned about you and what you look like? No, they are here for themselves. Everyone has their own reason for being in the gym or for…

Don't let your mind or subconscious control you!!!! I am well overweight, even with the 50 lbs that I've lost so far. It was such a big struggle for me to start running/ jogging on the treadmill in my gym. Many times, I would try to work myself up to jogging but failed each and every time. I only started jogging as my…

WOW!!! I was so interested when I saw this as like many others who have replied, I felt and feel the same way... although I've lost almost 50lbs from the start of my journey, I'm finding that jogging is difficult. It doesn't help that I'm a smoker, but even my trainer was a bit impressed as my jogging has improved. I had…

Just accept your binge and change it around. Get back on track and find that motivation to go back to your better ways. We all need cheat days every now and again. Just try to not make it a daily thing!! Good luck to you... you can do it!!:smile:
