Hello everyone.
Thought I would start this thread. I mentioned it on the current take of regular MRC thread.
Not that I want to take away from anyone's journey through weight loss but as someone who has watched my parents and myself battle being heavy all my life and as someone who losing 20lbs would just be a drop in the ocean, I believe that those of us with significant amount of weight to lose (50lbs or more) face some unique challenges and issues that other people seeking to lose less do not face.
1) Losing motivation - hitting walls that seem to last too long.
2) Being overwhelmed - Yes I've lost 20lbs but I have 60 (+) more to go.
3) Boredom - I've been on a plan for 6 weeks but I have to go how much longer !?!?!?
4) Exercise - I know I need to do it but it is so much harder to start when your size prevents it.
Please feel free to post your own issues, suggestions, frustrations, vents whatever you would like to share. Maybe we can all help each other.
Adding to include - You don't have to still be over 200 or still have 50 plus to lose to post here... if that is where you started we would LOVE for you to share your journey too.
