Dave_NW- I am too and yeah. it's been over a year. I only started out good at first cause I was terribly nauseous at the begining of this. I feel I need to talk to my doctor too but I have no way there, my mom doesn't seem like she want to bring me there. I don't think I need more in the band atm cause its working right because sometimes i eat too fast and it comes back up. Ohhhh I definitely know that's the problem (not eating right) and I haven't been motivated to do ANYTHING. That's also my problem, I don't know how to eat healthy or right. I haven't been the same since the begining of last year it's like my whole mind changed and i don't like it at all. That is for sure, I fell in the rut and I can't get out and I feel all alone. reverie- I think is both of those, emotional and out of boredom. Its winter and there is nothing I can think of that I would enjoy around here. Everything costs money...fun costs money. I try to stay away from the kitchen but somehow I find myself in there. I try finding things to do and then I say "nah, I don't want to do that" and watch tv or something. I feel like a loner with noone...I feel lost in the darkness I try talking to friends but it only lasts for a while. I feel depressed cause of the way I am, overweight, single, two friends stopped being my friend and I feel like I have no friends, but I do. The times I go out with them the fun only lasts for a little while. I feel like I'm hiding from the world.

I feel like i'm always muching on something and it kind of sucks i feel like i can't even stick to something and i'm completely going down hill. I have 6cc's in my band right now and sometimes its hard to eat some things and most of i time i know i'm not chewing well i feel like i'm letting myself down terribly. i haven't lost weight if anything i gained and i've been depressed for over a year

I know how you feel, trust me! I really is hard once you get off track. But I'm really sick off this, it's getting to the point that I'm going to stay depressed. It makes me not want to leave the house, it's getting bad, real bad =/ I think I need a littl more support from friends and family, but I'm getting pretty much none =/ which is probably why I'm not getting anywhere, meh

Since I'm getting nowhere, I thought I should start this over from the begining *sigh*. I'm starting out with the pre-op diet which was for a week before surgery, Thinking either 2-3 Protein Shakes a day (I bought whey Protein vanilla), 2-3 yogurts, lots of Water, would love to add fruits and veggies but I don't have any besides bananas. I do understand that this will be boring and probably hard but if I could do it the first time, I can do it this time. It's just a jump start to get me going I'm going on a long walk tomorrow. Wow this sounds depressing much, eh?

i'm gaining, instead of losing. im hungry most of the time and then again i skip meals not exercising, dont have motivation. i dont know i seem like i cant do anything right. i guess i'm going to have to live my life being fat. can't find the help anywhere and not even on here it seems. i hate myself for letting me get this way. i'll never get to goal and i know it..

awesome and thanks!! (:

You're very welcome! I'm very glad I motivated you too! I woke myself up at 7:22am and was on the treadmill at 8:05am. I walked 2miles in 50-55 minutes! I watched TV which helps sooo much so if you have a TV watch it while you're exercising!! I'm going to walk 2 miles a day for an hour. (:! && I'm going to dance to Combichrist which is great music to dance to!!!!!

I'm so motivated right now, hope it doesn't change. I'm getting on that treadmil tomorrow. I'm just going to walk everyday since it doesn't kill my knees so much. Someone suggested dancing so, I got some great music to dance to. I'm going to use 2pound ball weights while walking and I'm going to watch TV while I do it. I'll use my resistance bands. Not sure what else I should use, BUT After getting my belly button pierced and having to take it out cause my stomach is too big for it made me realize that I really miss it and want it back I'm so damn tired of this, I'm so ready, BRING IT ON!!

Thanks guys! I wanna get that Zumba game, either for Wii or Kinect if i get it I am going to be doing this for myself, it would be a lot easier if everyone in the house could just be a little more sapportive and eats healthier too. I am planning on making a workout mix. My friend told me to play some hardcore metal or techno music, anything that makes your body move to the beat Yup, i can put the treadmill infront of the tv, makes time fly by faster, got to find a way to see past the drums tho lol I wish we had an indoor swimming pool cause i'd be in it everyday and itd be so much easier on my knees but dancing, treadmill and what lellow said, would most likely be good for me and in the summer i can go swimming. and congrats on the 80 pounds lost!

It's okay, and I bet it isn't maybe she'll see that I'm doing it and see results, she'll jump in. Yeah, calorie counting isn't my thing either, what I would probably do is get all my food like ready for the week so i know exactly how much is in my meals a day. i want an exercise bike so bad. I know, I have a exercise ball, two 2pound(i believe) weight balls, 3 resistance band, one is light, and two is medium i think, and two 5 pound weights, i'll most likely buy a kettle bell next month. Thanks!(:

I need to do this all on my own meaning if I want to be and eat healthier, I have to buy my own food now. So yesturday, I told my mom I'm getting microdermals and she said "You should put that towards your diet" and I asked "What diet?" she says "Exactly" so after my birthday, I'm buying my own food, but I'm only going to buy a weeks worth at a time. It really sucks but I guess I got to Start somewhere and sometime. It seriously sucks that she isn't going to do this with me, so I'm all alone in this house. So can you guys help me out? Can you make a list of things that I should avoid and things I should definitely get that will help me get to my goal? My brother taught me something for how many cals you should eat a day, this is; take the goal weight you want to reach, mine is 150 and all you have to do is add another 0 on it, so 1500 a day. Or with my age or weight should I eat less? Eat 3 meals a day 2 Small & healthy Snacks Drink tall glass of Water 30min before each meal..8 tall glasses a day I also need workouts that I can do in the comfort of my bedroom, lunges really kill my knees I can never seem to find any good workouts, I need full body ones Grocery List *How many fruits a day? *How many veggies a day? *How many and what kinds of grains(whole grains I know) And I already get fat free/skim milk *Things to avoid *I'll be buying Poland Spring water cause I feel like it has a good taste to it eventhough water doesn't have a taste lol Just basically things I need for a successful weight loss Workouts For the Comfort of Your Own Room I don't like working out infront of people and I know most of you people don't either, so, what do you do for workout in your own room that has and is getting you to goal? I have a tredmill downstairs so I can do that everyday till it gets warmer out, then I can walk outside, I just really need full body workouts and ones that work amazingly! I'm so ready to be happy for once, I'm also so ready to be confident in myself. It's been way to long being stuck in this place and I'm done feeling depressed and stressed!! I am ready to turn some heads, especially the guys! lol Thanks for everyone's help, Sorry I didn't reply back to my other post

i feel like a complete failure. i feel like i fell off the band wagon and havent been able to get back on since december. i feel i'm trying but i feel like giving up also. i feel hungry a lot of the time. in the morning, i dont eat cause i either cant or dont have time cause i'll be using that time getting ready for class. i dont have lunch either cause by time im done getting ready, its time to go to class (i get up at 10am and leave for class at 11:45) i feel LAZY! i feel like i cant force myself to exercise...i want to do it but i dont know what it is, i try pushing myself, but it doesnt work. i know for one thing, I DO want to get rid of this weight. i feel like cryingcause i'm thinking one thing and then the other part of my mind is telling me to do another thing. i have a different goal and that's 50-55 pounds in 5-6 months. havent started yet and i can get motivated. so yeah, i'm asking for your, help please, push me or motivate me, something =/ thanks!♥

hey, so i feel really stressed and discouraged. i dont feel like doing anything. im always craving the bad stuff. i havent been making good food choices. sometimes i can barely eat, i dont feel like i eat enough which doesnt make sense. i cant motivated myself to exercise, i feel like nothing is happening for me. im getting depressed about it more and more each day. i dont want to talk to anyone about it but i wish i had someone to do this with and i dont, im all by myself on this one. maybe i need a fill i dont know. i really dont know what to do. i try to to start working out or try to go somewhere where it includes some sort of exercise without noticing...its really lame

can you help me make a list? Mainly fall and winter ideas please (: 1.Walking with a close friend or even a group of close friends. 2.Taking some fall folliage photos (walking around) 3.Shopping 4.Chasing your children, neices/nephews around, have them play games like a chasing game 5.Playing the wii, wii sports, wii active, anything, wii sports is pretty fun 6.DDR 7.Dancing Help (:

i want to go swimming but i rather swim in my own pool buttt its freezing here so yeah. what is spinning classes? and i also struggle with the food part

true, you should always do something you love over something you hate. like for me, i LOVE walking and i do a lot of that lately, i go as far as my feet take me (3-6 miles). this weekend i plan on walking from my house to downtown and back, which is probably 6 miles, taking photos of the autumn leaves. I'm doing the zombie walk at the end of the month which is to walk all over downtown, through resturants and bars, just terrorizing the neighborhood (haha). I can't walk on a tredmil, i lose interest. when i walk i need to be walking with someone or im not interested and im scared to walk alone. i also dont want to lose muscle either, but i have workouts froms magazines i can do to build muscle.

i know right? i wanna workout/walk 4 or atleast 3 days a week

and what do YOU do to workout? what kind of workouts do you do? that kind of thing

just a random thread and just want to know (: i need some motivation too cause i feel a bit stressed and my mind hurts.

thanks people, i know its unrealistic. i wanna try to lose up to 10 pounds by then and 30-35 by the end of the year. i was planning on getting a different outfit for the zombie walk but yeah anyways, i bought a 8 piece pilates set from walmart which included a 65cm exercise ball, 2 weight balls that i think are 2 pounds each, a pilates workout dvd, a light resistance band, and a medium resistance band and i cant remember what else came with it. i also bought two 5 pound dumbells. so i want to try this tomorrow or thursday if i go to my friend Aaron's house tomorrow. does pilates work?

so inches is what i should worry about more then right? the skirt is Tripp NYC size L which converts to a size 9-11 there's no way in hell ill beable to fit in it but if not i can always buy another skirt from them to the size i need, anyways i could lose up to 6-12 pounds by then? maybe a little more? cause at first dont you usually lose a lil more to begin with? ok wow i'm stressing myself out with this a little too much lol

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if its possible and okay to l:rolleyes:ose 30-35 pounds by October 23rd? I bought this skirt in XL and it doesn't fit but then again the sizes in this brand (Tripp) run a little small. I've been waiting forever to get this skirt and the sizes only went up to XL. Anyways I'm going to be walking home from my Cosmetology class everyday (except for rainy and snowy days) and I could never seem to eat 3 meals a day, or know what I should eat.. seems like I eat 1-2 meals and 1-2 small snacks, iced tea and water...scaled moved a little bit but not much. I've been going downtown and walking as much as I can (and it's fun) But reason why I want to lose weight by this date is because October 23rd is our town's Zombie Walk and i want to look good haha and most of all beable to wear my skirt.. can someone give me some guidance or something? Thank you :thumbup:

where did you get yours? i want to get it, but i probably wont beable to get it till next month. i think i might buy it off amazon, its 130 something good luck and i want my day off sunday aswell

good luck !
