Don’t click on those spam links, they are just going to hurt your computer.
I wish kids could understand how easily they can lose weight compared to when you get older. Seriously. You could go for a fast bike ride or fast-paced walk for 2 hours every day and probably lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. It seems to take 6 months when you get older.
Just COMMIT. Agree that you will spend 2 hours a day exercising and you will be there in just a matter of days.

Can someone help me get motivated to lose weight???? :(?
My mom is a personal trainer. When I lived with my parents, I was in perfect shape. i used to go to the gym every day and work out, play sports, etc. Well, I left for college, and now, I have stretch marks EVERYWHERE and have gained 42.6 pounds. 🙁 I can’t motivate my self to lose the weight…I can get myself motivated for a day, but when I wake up in the morning, I just forget and eat something bad. I haven’t hung out with any friends from the dorms or from high school in a year….I’ve heard from my twin sister (who is still in good shape) that they all ask if I’m pregnant or just fat when she hangs out with them. I don’t want to see anyone until I’m looking good again!! ….but it is taking so long ….its been about a year since I have seen anyone but my boyfriend & occasionally my sister or my dad. I know my friends will always love me no matter what i look like and i shouldn’t think this way, but i am just so embarrassed. I don’t have any clothes that fit me anymore either!!!! i don’t want to go shopping until i can fit in my usual sizes. I am a poor college kid struggling to survive–the last thing i want to do is spend a bunch of money on clothes and then lose weight and not be able to fit in them! I used to be so fashionable–now i only wear shorts and t-shirts and use the fact that I work with animals as an excuse. I have a gym membership. My apartment even had a 24 hour fitness center…..but I don’t go anymore. I spend all day before work looking in the mirror and being sad instead of working out :(. the worst part is, i KNOW the fat will come off very easily!!! A few months ago, I lost about 20lbs, but then my car broke down and I couldn’t get to the gym. It was FREEZING outside, so i didn’t want to run….I kept saying i would just start working out again when my car was fixed, but by that time (months later), I had gained all of the weight back. My boyfriend is one of those people that can eat ANYTHING (i.e. 10 large pizzas with double cheeseburgers on top …..7 times a day!!!! [obviously an exaggeration haha]) and won’t gain anything!!! He never works out at all either. EVER. I always ask him if he will work out and eat right with me, but he’s like “HA, YEAA RIGHT!” ….i know i shouldn’t need him to do this with me to feel motivated, but its so hard watching him eat stuff that looks so good haha, or making two seperate meals all the time, or going to the gym alone when i would rather spend time with him. Please help me….I’ll probably keep adding more details, but…..I feel like this is already annoying to read through. OH! PS. I used to have the HIGHEST self-esteem in the WORLD. …now…OBVIOUSLY i dont lol
also, i am making very reasonable goals for myself….lose a couple pounds a week….not LOSE 50 LBS IN 2 MONTHS!!!! …..I know HOW to lose weight, I just don’t feel motivated to do so…

First of all, I’ll say that you need to be happy with yourself. Even if you aren’t happy with your body right now, you can change that. If you don’t value yourself as a person beyond your current body image, it’s going to be really hard to change it.
Next, I’ll say that you’re off to a good start setting reasonable goals. Expecting fast results will just end in discouragement. It took time to gain the weight, so it’s going to take time, probably even longer, to lose it. Make sure you remember that.
What helped me, when setting goals, was tracking my progress every time I worked out. That way when I lost a pound or two, I felt good, and when I gained a pound, I realized whatever I ate/drank wasn’t worth how bad I felt about backtracking.
Make sure whatever workout plan you do is CONVENIENT. Like you said, when your car broke down, everything fell apart. Try to set a plan where you work out on days that are easy to fit in to your schedule. The most important thing is that you do it CONSISTENTLY. If you go 5 times this week, when 3 next week, sooner or later, you’ll only be going once a week, or not at all…
Obviously diet plays a big part in seeing results. When I started working out, I would finish up and be hungry, then stop at the dinning hall and get a cheeseburger and cheese fries. After a couple of days of that, I realized all the work I was doing at the gym was wiped away when I ate. You don’t have to be anarexic, but try to eat slowly start to eat healthier. Again, it doesn’t have to be all at once. Don’t throw away all the junk food in your place and buy a gallon of yougurt and bucket of granola. Just start to substitute some better foods in the unhealthier parts of your diet. And remember that just about anything is okay IN MODERATION and just about anything is bad IN EXCESS. The popular thing to do now is eat more meals, but with smaller quantities of food. It’s a good habit to get in to keep yourself full, but in moderation.
Finally, don’t quit or get discouraged when you have setbacks. It’s going to happen. Events come up where you break your diet, can’t work out, etc. If you gain a couple of pounds, use it as motivation to get back on track. And try to make it the exception, not the rule.
Good luck! I’m excited for you to get started and back on track for a healthier lifestyle!
