Hi,

I am Tamanna.I am 27 and currently weigh at 170 lbs.
As far as i remember i have always been overweight.
And when i was small, i had been ignoring the fact that there was a problem coming.Inspite of being fat, i had always been active in sports and other activities.Never realized my weight was a problem.
Although i have had people making fun of me, ignoring my qualities at times just because i am fat.I have had like a million reasons to motivate myself to lose weight.But it just doesn't happen.
Its not that i haven't tried, its just that i have never given in my 150 %.The biggest problem is, when i see its not working , i give up.It takes a **** lota time for me to make up my mind again and get back to it in full swing.

May be last year i realized my weight was 170 lbs.And i was like, 'When did that happen'????... I did join a gym and lost 15 lbs in 2 months. And i was very happy . I thought , its finally working. But then the gym closed.. and guess what so did my efforts.

It took me 1 more year to get back to the gym.Now i have been gyming for almost 4 months.I have had my peaks and lows. I must have actually gone just 60 days out of the 4 months i have joined the gym.This time it just didnt work.I lost like a few pounds here and there. But the effects were negligible.

Again dissapointed, i skipped any workouts for almost 20 days.

And now, i am back. Coz i have had it enough. Its for the last time , i have to put in all my efforts.
I am so angry at myself, because i know i can do it.. bu ti just don't!

My target is 121 lbs. And i need all the motivation i can get to NOT QUIT this time.

Hi, we have an accountability thread in the exercise forum called "get movin'" if you'd like to join us. Good luck.

Yeah, keeping motivated is half the battle. But my motto is this: The reason why you can't do it is because you quit trying. It doesn't matter how long you try for, just that you keep it up, because otherwise it won't happen. Always look on the positive side of things: You weight a lot less than a lot of people. You made an effort now instead of later. You'll feel a lot better about yourself at the end of your goal.
