Hi,
I know that the whole forum is about giving each other support and motivation, but I was wondering if anyone wanted to have a thread where we can update each other daily or weekly on weight loss, acheivements or set backs, basically keep tabs on each other. talk about how things are going, something more regular than one off posts. Anyone up for it?

Hi guys,

I am really happy you guys replied. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and hope we can support each other through our weight loss.

I want/need to lose weight. I'm not exactly sure how much I need to lose but I definitely want to lose at least 40kgs. My starting weight was 102kg, which is just over 225lbs

Right now I really want to do it for me, but dont want to tell family I'm trying to lose weight. I'm sick of people watching what I eat or do and commenting on it.

Anyway, this time i'm really serious, I've been going for about 6 weeks and have lost 8kgs, but now its starting to slow down and I'm losing motivation! I've cut out all processed food and most sugars. I'm trying to cut out orr atleast significantly reduce all wheat products too. Exercise wise, I joined the gym, and have basically been doing the same workout everytime I go. But having gained 1kg last week, I have decided to see a trainer to get some advice about exercise.

didnt mean for this to be so long sorry

Aly, I'd be happy to join up with you
And about your workout, to keep it from becomming mundane, try doing certain things on alternate days. For example; weight training needs to be done every other day (gives your muscles a chance to rest). On those days try walking a couple of miles or swimming. Maybe do cardio things instead. You got to keep it interesting and challenging
