lose 150 lbs

Ok, so im 18, and i currently weigh 315 pounds, and my goal is to go down to at least 130 in 2 years. I cut down what I eat in half, walk for at least 15 minutes in the morning and work out for 30 minutes in the evening, and people are starting to notice me getting smaller, i’ve only started 4 months ago and by this time next year, i should be in the 100’s(yaaaay). All you need is a little motivation and patience and you will lose the weight and feel great too.

I am currently 360 lbs. In high school I was also big, but I kept in shape, I was on the state champion football team and I wrestled. I was 270 in high school. 10 years and 100 lbs later… my confidence in both my personal and professional life is dwindling. my initial goal is to get back down to my high school weight of 270 and once there I want to take it even further and get to the 200-210 range.

the things I’ve tried . I used to be 150lbs . and although thats a lot, now im 330! I have been with the same guy for 3 years, and he’s seen me go from thick and sexy, to now just big . I’m so upset that I let myself go, I’m in college now, and have great friends, they don’t mind it . But I want to be able to walk to the park only 6 BLOCKS away w/out becomming out of breath . I need to lose 150lbs, cause If I do, I’ll be at my goal, and I know I’ll be able to do things that I used too .

Let me introduce myself…I am 33 years old, Single, 5’1 and weigh a whopping 285lbs. I’m so down on myself for allowing this to happen. I was a mere 112 lbs when I was 17 years old. I look at pictures and I just can’t understand how I let this happen. I feel as though I’ve ruined my whole life. I want to get married, I want to have children…and I know this is just HORRIBLE but I feel like who’s going to even want to marry me. As far as children are concerned, I’m no where near a healthy weight to even think about it. Problem is I’m 33 and I feel like I don’t have much time. I’ve tried a million times to lose weight. This will be like my millionth attempt. With every attempt it just gets scarier and scarier. How do I know that I will succeed this time, when ultimately I failed all the other times? My intention is not to bring anyone down, instead I invite people to share their stories with me and help me along this seemingly lonely, painful and very long road.

it will set me at a helthy BMI

So…...... Today is the day I turn my life around. Im 23 and have a beautiful dtr who keeps me on my toes i have to do this not just for me but for her. She deserves to have a mother for years to come and im determined that this time I WILL NOT GIVE UP !!!
I could really use your help doing this. Any kind of pep talks or anything to keep me motivated. Good luck to everyone I know if we really want this it can be done !!!

I’m going to start…tomorrow? 4x around the track at least 1x a day.

...but I’m ready for it. No more excuses. I am no longer playing the blame game, the i’m-broke game, or the lazy game. It’s all my choices. I chose to get this way. I am going to choose to get healthier.

I could blame my husband because he doesn’t make healthy food choices; but I’m not. He doesn’t put the food in my mouth, I do. I can choose to eat anything when we go out to eat. It doesn’t have to be the unhealthy items.

I could play the i’m-broke game; but I don’t need to join Weight Watchers to be succesful. Goodness knows I was on it long enough to lose 75lbs 10 years ago, I KNOW the program. When I can join again, I would like to join online. But not joining is no excuse to not eating what I know is right.

I could play the lazy game, but that’s just no fun anymore. As a matter of fact, I am just plain BORED with that. I don’t need, and REALLY don’t WANT, to just sit around anymore. I am making goals for myself that will require me to be more active. No more excuses.

I am responsible for what I put in my mouth. Just because my husband wants to go to a buffet doesn’t mean I can’t start with a large healthy salad. I don’t need to walk out feeling so full I hurt. Just because he doesn’t want to go walk around the town with me doesn’t mean I can’t.

I need to start taking the blame and putting it where it belongs…right on me.

I made the decision three weeks ago to lose weight and start eating and living right. It took me about a week to start, but since I truly began this goal, after my cousins wedding, I am losing weight. On top of that, my blood pressure is a little lower and I feel 10X better than I have even 4 weeks ago. If I can feel this good after 10-12 days, anyone can. I am down to 320 lbs as of this morning. Still a way to go, but feeling better.

I am officially the heaviest I have ever been. I am tipping the scales at 328. I stand 5’8”, so this is substantial. My health is deteriorated to the point where I cannot go out and workout more than a few minutes without the real risk of a heart attack (I can feel myself get light headed and short of breath after 2 minutes – AND, I use to be in shape so I know the difference between work out stress and the messages my body is sending me now, these are warnings!) Even to lose 30 lbs would get me down under 300, where I was at for a while (but could actually workout then!), so that is my first step, 30 lbs in the next 10-12 weeks. My ultimate goal is to get to 170 lbs, which is about 10 lbs more than my “ideal” weight, but then again, who is ideal. I really need to read your inspiration here, I have such a tendency to give into my own negative self image, but I read your words and find hope in those of you who have completed this goal and those who are on the journey. For me, I start, now.
