onelifetolive, your name states all and everyone knows that life is NOT perfect, so I would say forget ALL ABOUT those stretch mark and continue your weight loss. you can LOOK STUNNING when you lose weight and dress up, not EVERYONE will know that you have strech mark, but everyone will see how WOW you look. After all, i beileve even skinny people have parts in their body they don't like that much. It is just natural for human I guess.

And DO NOT give up, you can do it, you already lost 30kg, that is huge and you can do it and continue losing the other 30kg. Look how far you came, you are 30kg closer to your goal and that is WAY better than being 60kg far from your goal. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
It is only natural for human to indulge in eating from time to time, that is just how life is. But the key is for overweight people is to realize that we are WEAKER than other people. So, if you lose track and fall off the wagon, at lease realize that you ARE! and start the battle again and again and again until you reach your ideal weight. That's the final grade you are working to get.

I am motivating myself just like you. I went from 133kg to 119kg. I just started my diet in early June 09. I am suppose to reach to 63kg. It is not easy and when i used to think before I start my diet that I have almost 70 kg to lose, i use to feel DEPRESSED AND EVEN EAT MORE AND MORE. but now that I have started I am glad that I am 56kg closer to my goal than i was 3 months ago. I am TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that i might fall back and gain it again, but I guess this fealings is exactly what we need to keep us going. the feeling that we are not safe yet and we need to push harder and harder. the feeling that we are still in mid sea and we haven't made it to the other end of the shore.

good luck to ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
OneLifeToLive: Do not give up. You have lost so much already, and I bet you feel much better than you did seven months ago. Most importantly, you are doing it the right way- watching what you eat- low carbs, proteins and lots of fruits and veggies. In my eyes (and I bet in the eyes of many who visit your diary), you are a true inspiration. We all feel like giving up once in a while (i feel like that every three days), but it is important to stay focused.

This forum has a GREAT support system. Whenever I feel like giving up, I come here and read the amazing stories of people who have lost and are feeling healthier and happier, and that gives me motivation not to give up. No one understands our journey to healthier lifestyle than people who are going through the same with you, and we are here with you, whenever you need.

We are rooting for you. And congratulations on 30kgs lost. :hurray::hurray:
 
Juniiiiii

ow am feeling sho much betteh!! tnx tnx tnx! from now on am gonna come to diz forum everyday so dat I get da required motivation
 
I checked my weight today and am happy that it was 88kgs ie 176lbs:) hurray! Considering da amount of food that I ate last week I was not expecting any wt loss..dis feels lyke magic!!

i shall keep posting abt ma progress
 
You really do look fantastic. Just remember that even if it takes you a year or two to do, that such periods of time are literally nothing in the big picture, especially considering the payoff. Think about one or two years ago.. I bet you're wondering where the time went! You could be looking back a year from now and saying to yourself, wow, a year well spent.. I'm 30kg down! Don't let things get on top of you.. it's worth it.

As for the stretch marks.. we all have them, even thin people get them. Don't trust the airbrushed pictures in magazines.. even some of those bodies would have a few. They will fade over time.. cocoa butter and/or other moisturisers may help. :)
 
girl keep up the good work!!! Never give up and DONT LOOK BACK!!! You have made great strides toward your goal. I was 153 and am now 127 and i even have stretch marks..... count them as battle scars honey!!!! you WON... you are WINNING..... those are your trophie scars!!!! :) Best of luck
 
Lookin alot better!!! WOO HOO!!! Remember Never Give Up!!!
One thing that helps me is thinking about all the cloths I want to wear like tank tops, sleeveless shirts, cloths below size xxl-xxxl (lol), also I watch videos on youtube and look up pictures of the way I want to look...:D

10lbs a month is a pretty big number, imho. Some people can lose 10lbs a month and some cant. Sometimes it depends on the weight you arleady are and how your body loses weight. So 10lbs might be to big of goal.
Maybe you shouldnt set any goals just yet, just take this month as a learning experience to see how much you can lose (in a healthy way) and then shoot for that number each month.
 
Hi guyz

Just wanted to update my progress. I have come down to 170lbs from 240God helped!! Hope to be in 160 by new years

I went for holidaying this month to meet my parents. Gawd everybody was so happyyyyy and excited to see me!! I felt so happy that I cant even express how happy! Others are more happy than you yourself to see you in good shape. This has motivated me further. I had put on 6-7 lbs over there but soon I burned it down in no time. It has boosted my confidence..if I can watch my weight when am holidaying then its not that hard to lose further:) Keeping fingers crossed!

There is a very slight difference in appearance hence am not adding any pics.
 
You have done well so far! Keep up the great work, and you'll lose that last 30 kg. Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to seeing you reach your goal! :)
 
goodjob on the weitghloss!!! i am orignally from india as well!! i now reside in NY. I used to be of a decent weight when i used to live there..somewhere arround 65-70 kgs. and it may seem a lot in number coz i am only 5 5..but that was the perfect weight for me. but u know in india if yo uare even a little chunky they make you feell ike you are obese so because of that mentality i was always concious about my figure and always thought i was fat and then i moved here and gained a lot of weight because i went on all thse crazy diets coz i thought i was too fat when i wasn't and now because of all that i gained quite a bit of weitght over the years. im at 190 now and it's sooo depressing.. a lot of people tell me im not fat..im jsut a little chunky ( i guess i carry my weight well) but i feel so disgusted with myself....i still haven't found the motivation to do anytihng about it....i wonder if i ever will..all i know is i ned to lose atleast 40 pounds by my 25th b'day which is in march.....it's so hard to control the eating coz you know how indian people eat..sooo unhealthy!!! can you give me some tips on healthy indian eating??

and congrats on the weightloss!! you look amazing!!! =)
 
You are a beautiful girl, please don't let the whole process scare you. You are worth the journey and that trip will have hills to climb and ones that you can just run down, either way, keep it up. You are looking for inspiration from others, but just looking at your photos are an inspiration to me. Michelle
