Hello-
I'm really glad that I found this site. I need some support and motivation for losing this bit of weight. I've lost about 20-25 pounds the past 3 years or so. I used to be around 190 pounds at the age of 13. It was horrible, my weight magnified the awkward preteen years by about 1,000. watching all the girls around you grow into their thin bodies..and you just sitting there like a blob.
It really hit me though at New Year's dinner 2008, when my dad whispered in my ear "you know your sister weighs less than you?" She was 19, in her first year of college and definitely a victim of the "freshman 15", she is also 4 inches taller than me. That year I drastically changed my eating habits, I became a vegetarian, I stop drinking soda, and cut out a majority of things with high sugar content in them. I lost enough weight that people noticed, and I felt good for a while; being able to wear tank tops in public, wearing shorter shorts, and not hiding in my brothers old clothes.
I'm hear to ask for help to achieve my goal weight of 125. Although I still maintain my diet, I lack motivation to exercise. I have made an exercise chart and the amount 1500 calories chosen as my daily intake. Although I have an extensive chart, and things in writing, I need help!!
I can't seem to encourage or bring myself to enacting the plan. A friend or some insightful advice would be appreciated!!! Thank you!!!!!
Need to lose 40 pounds and need motivation help!!
The weight itself came off quickly once everything fell into place.
