help me….
I’m usually not one to ask for help. I guess I’m like one of those “proud” people they can kind of be annoying because you know they need help and when you offer it they basically tell you to shove it & that they can do it on their own… yeah Hi thats me. Well this week has been a horrible week for me just feeling like I don’t want to do anything so I don’t. I worked out a total of well 3 times this week & thats if I get my lazy ass up there tomorrow. I have to workout a total of no less than 6 times a week I figure to see any major results and I’m doing so poorly. On top of that I haven’t been following my diet as strictly as I should be I mean I’m not going crazy eating but I’m not eating very healthy either. I won’t indulge in what I’ve been eating but I just can’t say NO!! Argh I’m pissing myself off. I used to love going to the gym I went everyday for 2 weeks straight at the begining now I can’t even get myself to barely go 3 times this week… what the heck?!? I need to start following my diet like I did in the begining and excersizing like I was. Now I haven’t said this but I’m in a wedding come March maybe May well one of those months next year and I’d like to be to my goal weight by then if I’m not there but at least close to it then I wont be mad. I didn’t start this whole journey because of that but it really helps knowing I want to look good in that bridesmaids dress. My mini goal was to lose 50 lbs by thanksgiving and well I’m def. not close so for that I’m mad at myself because I could have gotten my ass up this week but I haven’t I could have been that much closer!! I need help and I’ll take it this time maybe if someone has a weekly weigh in where a bunch of people post it in one place it will make me work harder because these weekly weigh ins with myself are not pushing me.

Hi…
i totally get the frustration…. I would try and keep in mind how far you have come– just to keep an eye on the fact that you do have the ability and you do control your own body and weight….. I would also set smaller mini goals… maybe 10-15 lbs at a time. and a reward at each of those goals?
I dont know im still figuring it out myself… and trying to drag myself off the couch to go to the gym right now. Really I just want to nap. That will be my reward once I get back from the gym!
Yeah I have to do a class or something to stay excited about going to the gym. I can’t make myself go otherwise, I’d suggest to try new things at the gym or take a class.
Hey, sounds like you’re pretty frustrated at the minute! I completely understand, I know exactly what I need to do to keep the scale moving down but I just can’t be bothered doing it, why!! when I know how great I would feel if I achieved my goals!
I do agree that you should focus on how far you’re ome already, 37 pounds is amazing and you have done so well, so try not to be too hard on yourself if you start slacking off a little, it’s hard to keep the motiavtion going like it was at the start!
As kyliejo said, a new class or something new might be just the motivation you need, and forget about the thanksgiving goal,its over (I think, we don’t have thanksgiving here!!sorry if I got it wrong!) and set a new goal, Christmas or New Year and work towards that instead!
Good luck!
thank you for all the advice on the mini goals and I have set one to lose at least 50 lbs by Christmas I hope to surpass that though. I would love to take a class but my gym doesn’t offer them but thank you all for your inputs I’ll put all the advice thats doable to use
