Hello, new to the site. I have 160 lbs to lose and it is a struggle. My doctor keeps telling me to just get the surgery. I don't want any surgeries. Would be glad to keep in contact with a few people for motivation and support.
Does anyone have ideas/comments to help get motivated to exercise???
Hello I am also new to this site and I need to lose 177 pounds. My current weight is 322 and my healthy weight is 145. I am not even going to think about a surgery. Think of it this way if you get the weight off of you without the surgery you will not have to go through all that recovery after the surgery. I need a lot of motivation to exercise also. Maybe we can both motivate each other. Good Luck! Hope to hear from ya soon!!
Hey,
I understand needing motivation to work out and lose the weight. I have 130lbs to get to my healthy weight... but heres the thing... I jog 1 mile, eat only about 1000 calories a day and STILL cant lose this weight. Talk about being disappointed.
Do you have someone nearby (a friend) that would be willing to get a gym membership with you? That really helped me out. Some people say its helpful to go buy something you cant wait to fit into... but that just depresses me more lol.
I would definitely recommend finding someone... anyone near you to at least walk with you. Do you have a dog? They're great for motivation for me.
I had signed up for the site a while back but never used it so I am pretty new here as well. I have just over 100 lbs to lose. I think all of us here understand with you how big of a struggle it is. I am so fed up with being overweight. I just cant seem to get motivated. I have my sister's wedding next year and it will be the first time that many of my family members and freinds will have seen me in almost 3 years. So I am using that as my major motivator. I would love to keep in contact with you if you would like. I know I could use the help and accountability.
