My name is Kelli, and I'm an overweight nurse in need of motivation to get healthy...for me. I'm going to be using Weight Watchers Online for starters, but any other tips or recommendations are welcome.
Hi Kelli! Welcome to the forum. I have a co-worker who has had great success with WW online. It works if you follow the food program.
My first tip is to throw the world 'motivation' out the window. Motivation may get you started but it will not carry you through. Replace it with determination and commitment.
Incorporate some exercise into your weekly routine. You do not have to join an expensive gym try to walk more, use the stairs more, download videos off of YouTube or Hulu.com to work out to. There are a lot of things you can to do with spending a ton of money.
Lastly, if you have a bad meal, a bad day, heck, a bad food week. Do NOT let this be a reason to throw in the towel. Get back on track at the next meal. You can do this!!!
Best of luck to you!
Kelli, welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering around specific diet plans, themes, or age groups, so find one that inspires you and just post to join. Be sure to check out the WW sub forum.
