Hiya, I'm new to this forum (complete duh there xD )

Currently I am around 258 lbs / 18 st. And I want to half that weight, a Bit unrealistically, ideally I would be able to do this for this time next year. But if I could fit into a UK size 10 (ideally 6/8 but hey ho trying to be a bit more realistic) would be good as well xD Just smaller than I am would be great.

The only problem is. I lack motivation, its a serious problem I just think "ugh I really cant be bothered any more" Which really isn't good because it doesnt get anything done really. So i'm mostly here just to keep myself motivated, but to get tips and recipes. Because despite being as large as I am, Im a horridly picky eater, I dont live of junk food, I know i mostly just eat way to much of a good thing. But I only really eat chicken, and beef mince (the mince seems to taste and smell nicer to me?) so thats my meat basically. The list of what I wont eat is huge so I think thats another big factor that puts me off. So here we go, really trying this time hopefully I will keep motivated =D

But yes thats me xD Hope I dont annoy you all to much xD

Hey there and welcome. Motivation is all about incentive. You gotta put it on paper and visualize it everyday. We're all here to lend a helping hand or shove as well but only if you're willing to do the work

Hello, from another newbie Aren't tastes funny, I can't stand mince beef but would happily eat unminced.

It shows your on the right track as you've joined here. I'm no expert at all but I am on the same journey as you and I think that alot of us who lack motivation are scared of having another failed attempt. For me the first step was overcoming that worry of failing and being stubborn. I get about 2 weeks in when my inner saboteur kicks in and starts to tell me how great the fat foods are that I'm missing out on, or how small my dinner looks. As daybehaviour says having it written down why you want to lose weight really helps at this point. There's that saying 'Nothing tastes as good as being Slim feels'.

Anyway welcome and hopefully we can all look out for each other.
