Hello!!!
 

Hi!
Ok here's my story. i'm new to this site but I have been lurking around for about a week and I see lots of bonds being made. I'm in need of motivation and advice.
I'm 23 y/o and I weigh.....310 lbs. I'm very self conscious of my weight and I hate being this big. I want to be down to 150 lbs. I know that's a big goal and some have even told me it's impossible without weight loss surgery. I'm not a fan of surgery and I want to lose this weight w/o it. I've always been bigger than other girls but I've never been this big. After i got married three years ago i just kind of let myself go. My senior year of high school i was happy with the way i looked..now i can't stand to look in a mirror. I hate going clothes shopping. I just want to be "me" again. So I decided to stop whining about it and start acting. I will prove people wrong who tell me i can't lose this much weight without surgery. I will do it.
My main motivation is that i want to be a mom. And at my weight right now i know it'd be risky for my husband and i to start trying to conceive. I want to be a healthy mom and that's my main goal.
I've started doing cardio every night and eating low carb suppers. I'm also doing slim fast for breakfast and lunch. I would really like to do yoga but so far i found that it's impossible until i lose some weight and get a little more flexible.
Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope to make some weight loss buddies during this journey. :)

Welcome!
You will defintely find lots of support here.
I agree with your comment " I just want to be me again"
I feel like that all the time. I know the person I love is in there, she's just held back by the weight.
Best of Luck to you.

Hello. I have a big weight loss goal also and I don't want to resort to surgery. I suggest you keep trying yoga if you want to do it. At first I wasn't very flexiable but the more I kept up with it the easier it got. The simple ones are a great way to start. After I got better with them, they made me feel GREAT!

Speaking of, I should start them again... haha Good luck on your goals!

Stephanie,
Do you have any yoga videos you recommend?

Hello! I too am new here and it looks like we have similar goals. I also hate clothes shopping now, and know how you feel. Hopefully we both will find buddies here and the support we need :)
