HELP MEEEEE PLEASE .......

dna_roberts Posts: 30 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/08, 02:37 AM I am almost 400 pounds i'm 5'11" and I have been trying to loose weight then i get discouraged and just quit. I wished that I had more people to encourage me and not many do. My grandfather mother and father are always talking about how fat i am. My husband keeps asking when I'm going to loose weight. I try and just don't know it seems i have no motivation at all to loose weight and i stay depressed now about my weight. I see all these skinny people and I just wish i could be like them.

Denovas Posts: 22 Joined: 2004/01/20	2006/08/10, 08:40 PM dna_roberts, I also get discouraged when I look at all of the weight that I have to lose and look at people that have great shapes, including my own sister. But the great thing is that all of this stuff really really works - the key is to do it. This site has a lot of information and great people that will offer support as much as possible: use it! But the biggest key, in my opinion, is actually putting this all into play. I am working on doing that myself....I have lots and lots and lots of weight to lose. I try to focus on small goals instead of only looking at the end goal which looks so far away.

I have stopped the eating chicken pork and beef and went to eating fish veggies fuirt and soups. I need to get into excersing but it's hard cause i like to do things with others. if you know what I mean. I think I will try yoga cause it seems calm. I also have this crunch vedio and it's dancing and i love to dance.
	2006/08/11, 06:13 AM sorry got logged out. Good luck with your weight loss journey. The keys are Determination, Dedication, and Patience. Everything else will come in time. Also you may want to get yourself a dog as a jogging/walking buddy....

I think I will do some yoga as well for the mind body and spirit :D I am sure that 5-10lbs a week wouldn't hurt me at all. I hope that by this time next year I can be close to my ideal weight but for now I am just setting my goals at getting started with this.

	2006/08/12, 07:02 AM KC what i said was "At your weight, losing 5-10lb every COUPLE of weeks is not unreasonable"...every couple of weeks meaning every 1 OR 2 weeks....and like I said that is not unreasonable....remaining at the weight and losing weight slowly puts undue stress on her heart and organs and outweigh concerns over faster dieting....I wasn't suggesting liquid dieting by any stretch of imagination....just going bit beyond the general 1-2lb a week recommendation... Also I think bluntness works....people say they have no motivation ...this and that....so sometimes they need a proverbial kick in the butt to get them going....bottom line..it's not about anyone else...it's about the person trying to lose weight....also just so that weight loss doesnt seem overwhelming...remember as Ogono already mentioned it start 1 lb at a time....you may also not lose same number of lb during each week or month but just keep sticking with it and trying to perserve...the weight gain didnt happen overnight and weight loss wont happen overnight either.... good luck

BILL06 Posts: 755 Joined: 2006/08/08	2006/08/14, 05:45 PM Hang in there DNA, the hardest part is actually committing ourselves to the promises we make every year, to lose weight and get in shape. Being male we tend to lose weight easier/faster than gals, i myself in 4 weeks have just hit my 1st goal that i set, lose 5% of my body weight, 17lbs in 4 weeks.You'd be amazed on how just walking will help u shed pounds and inches, giving you the motivation to continue when u see a few pounds come off a week, it surely motivates me. I look at it this way, that twinky or yoohoo is 1-2 hours on a treadmill, i look at all food that way now Good luck !!:) -------------- For as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. proverbs 23:7 Bill

Anyways off to go work out ;)
