Hello Everyone. I need support, so I was looking for an online forum I can turn too. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 6 years old. I have lost a lot and gained it back and lost again and well you know the deal. I am now down 60 pounds, and this time I am doing it ON MY OWN. I usually join Weight Watchers but last May I decided its time to do it on my own. AND the best thing, its working and I have kept the 60 pounds off ALL winter. BUT here is the thing - I have a lot more to lose and I need help, LOL - I have been lazy, I dont work out at all yet I have a gym membership. I try and eat under 1200 calories a day but I have been struggleing with that too. So here I am. I want to read and learn from others. Its my time and I know I will finally get there.
 
WELCOME!!!! You have a great advantage with your gym membership.
My advise.... GET TO THE GYM!!! Get in the habit of working out.
Just go. Don't even set any goals for the first 2 weeks. Just go, try a few things out, PLAY with the toys! Talk to the trainers.
Too many people get too ambitious, and then they give up, because their goals are too difficult.
Start slow, start easy.
you can do it!
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A 10 OR 15 MINUTE WORKOUT!
oH...
and you probably need to eat more also.
post your height and weight, so we can get a better idea of this.
hey!!!!
I just looked at your profile!
I like cats too.

I know I need to get back to the gym - ugh. I have some serious issues about going - I am afraid all the small people are looking at me. I am very paranoid and I need to get over that. I know I do. My husband and I lost over 100 pounds together but he gained some of his back. We were going to the gym together. I think I need to just go on my own and maybe he will follow me. I wish I wasnt so afraid of what others think. But thats just me. I need to get that out of my head.
 
NOOO Not a looker, I just take good pics - LOL - I know I am not ugly...but I am bigger than these real skinny girls and I feel a bit uncomfortable. I know that must sound so immature coming from someone that is 38 years old but thats just me. I really need to overcome this stupid paranoia I have with the darn GYM. Thats why I am here on this site! LOL

I have an idea!!!!!!
Drive by a local buffet or maybe Lane Bryant..... then after you see all of those really big people, you'll feel better, and head to the gym! :smilielol5:
(some of the people that I used to see at the buffets really scare me .... a lot!)
 
Yes your right - LOL I could do that. I have to think I could always be bigger too. I was over 300 pounds last year and I now weigh 247 and I am about 5*6 and I am a size 18 since September YAH!!! I have a big butt and thats the problem. People always tell me I look great and I dont look what I weigh, I do hold it together pretty well, BUT I am not comfortable in my own skin - I AM NOT. I know I am not. I hope this board can give me tips - make me laugh and just be there when I need support because right now I need it and I need to get the REST of this weight off me. I will post pics tonight when I get home so you can see me.
