I LOST ONE POUND ALL WEEK!!! oh no I have been so motivated but I've lost my motivation. I hate the fact of one pound at a time

I want drastic results. as my weight gain has been drastic.
I bought the excersize ball & video today. wow after 20mins I was dying. for some readon excercizing is so hard for me.

I got such big dreams!!!! I just am use to instant gratification & it seems not to instant. this gain was instant. it seems like yesterday I was 150 & today ewwwww......like 50lbs more...
 
Congrats on your loss of 1 lb and I'm being serious. This is a lifestyle that you learn to live for the rest of your life. This isn't a diet that you stop when you reach your "goal". Everyone wants instant results. That is why those shit products are a billion dollar industry but they dont work.

Sure 61 lbs seems like a lot that is why you should have small goals. Always focus on the next 5 lbs. When I started this lifestyle I was 350 lbs. If i looked at the end result i never would have got there. I always wanted those next 5 lbs.

Good job on starting your exercise. Sure it is tough at first. I had trouble walking up stairs when i started. Your body adjusts then you create more challenges.

Read around the site, learn to eat healthy, build good habits and you will do this.

Good luck and stay motivated.

Congrats on your first pound, it has to start somewhere,right? It may seem like a slow start to you but at least you're on your way. Stay motivated and focused!! I know what you mean about the exercise,I will be back at the gym next week puffing and panting but just remember its going to worth it in the long run!! I think Matt has given you some great advice.Mini goals, baby steps are the way to go!!

Hello!! Any friend of Alta's is a friend o' mine! Welcome to the forum!!

losing a pound isn't easy!! Go girl!!

Keep it up and pretty soon you'll be at 2, then 3, and so on.

I hear you about wanting drastic loss, I still get frustrated. I can gain with no problem, but losing, now that takes so much more effort. Ugh!!

Have a great weekend.

Any friend of Alta's has to be....... CRAZY... in a GOOD way though!! ;) :D :D

Matt's post was exceptional... this is not a race, and if it was, it would be a race to having new lifelong habbits of good eating and excercise! Weight loss is just a by product of those new healthy habits. You are going to do great.

Welcome to the forum!!! :)
 
:reddevil:......CRAZY HUH!!!?!...........you ain't seen nothing yet ;)!!!!

Thanks so much ur so right!!! One pound lost can only add up.. I am figuring it out and am so excited to meet such nice cool people in here.. I finally decided to listen to Alta and it's the best move I have made.

The Never ending story is becoming to look a little bit better!!!

:auto:

Well as of today I have lost 3.25 lbs and I am more than excited. I feel like by the end of this year I will have accomplished my goal.

Why is it that I let myself gain so much weight again??? I don't know but definetely I am putting the camera on off status for a while.. :ack2:

I got a camera for Xmas cuz I had lost my old one and reality hit me...:smash:
I couldn't believe what I was seeing:lurk5: It was so devastating and depressing that I decided to make a change:newbie: new me!!!!

I still don't know what I am hiding behind. I will do anything to help others but when It comes to helping me I don't do it?? Why?? I have had a tough 2008 and I think that's why I let myself gain so much weight... :cry: I was having so many problems I didn't even notice what was happening to me!!!

Like I said new year new me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The camera I still think came broken !!!:smilielol5: :sifone:

So 5 pounds at a time is my new goal and soon enough in no times I will achieve my bigger goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
