Hi y'all, I'm new to this forum. I just felt I needed a bit of motivation and someplace to put all my thoughts and ramblings. I figured if I wrote something about my weightloss it would keep me motivated and going.

Anyways, I've been struggling with losing weight for half my life, I got lazy and well I had a pretty big depressive state for a few years. I got out of that funk and lost about 80lbs but I need to lose more and it doesn't seem to want to come off! I just feel so blah some days and just can't get going. I rarely exercise anymore and I don't know why, probably because I have never been that type of person and I also don't know where to start :\ I really can't afford a gym membership but I probably wouldn't go anyways, I feel people are just judging you there and well I don't even look like I belong in a gym to begin with. So not to cut it short but I have to get to work lol I guess what I'm looking to get out of this community is support and motivation to keep going and not stuff my mouth full of crap I shouldn't.


Suggestions on foods that burn fat are always welcomed. I really don't want to go the surgery route like my friend did ugh...le sigh.

thanks for listening.

Hi Lackluster,
I fell into a funk recently two. I am 12 pounds short of my goal and it is painful. It has been 1.5 years since I dieted and I can't seem to finish the job. I got 5 pounds away in the summer and then gained 7 pounds back up. It's so stressful thinking I was so close and let it go. Everything in my life seems to be waiting for me to lose those pounds....

My treadmill broke and I can't afford a gym membership, but I thought of something maybe you can do this. At lunchtime at work I started walking. So I'll eat my lunch at my desk, and then I'll use my lunchour for a big long walk. Try it.

Welcome to the forum!

Wow 80lbs good for you, that's amazing!

Not sure where you are located, but I know Planet Fitnesses are popping up everywhere, and they are only 10$ a month. I have never felt uneasy there, people pretty keep to themselves and not focus on anyone else. If people who need to lose weight don't belong in a gym where do we belong?

But, if a gym isn't for you walking or jogging outside is free!
