Hi, kinda new to the forums, been a lurker mostly reading and getting motivation from the threads/posts.


Currently on a mission to improve myself both physically and mentally.
sadly, i don't have anyone to really motivate me in a way to get started. i normally do it myself but its not the same to say the least..

ive been doing the diet thing for a longgggg time.... and had results! but lack motivation after a month or so. i was looking to see results asap..(things you've heard many times before lol)


i have a lot of Stressful things going on in my life and i know i can lose the weight easy... just so much is holding me back from getting started and im not getting any younger.

thankfully i don't have any medical conditions besides obesity and procrastination -.-

ive been a loner most of my life and its not easy to make friends since ppl look at you physical appearance instead of your personality, which is very sad. i Envy children since whether they are skinny chubby or whatever, friendship comes quickly with just a smile or a giggle. doesn't happen like that for adults.

i enjoy life, i love photography and animals. i love children and im all about being creative. Very positive thinker but cant seem to get positive mentally for myself to get started at what i know can change my life in many ways.
i don't know if its the environment or just that boost that people give each other to have them move forward to succeed.


Thank you for taking a few minutes to read this ^^
hope to get some advice to help me on my journey to success~

Hello and welcome! I can totally empathize on being jealous of children- it IS hard to make friends as an adult. I work essentially alone so making friends at work isn't possible. Recently I joined Meetup (dot com) and found interest groups in my area that matched my personality. I'm trying to make some new friends that way.

Its hard to get motivated on your own so it's great that you're here for support. Im a loner in the fact that I like to isolate from the world. I hide a lot. I guess I just wanted to welcome you and let you know your not alone even though it feels that way at times. Do what makes you happy and spill ur heart out on here. It's a good release for me. Good luck to you on your weight loss journey.
