Time for a change!
Well I haven’t added any new progress pictures up lately and that’s because I haven’t made any progress! I really suck at this lol. I really admire everyone that is disciplined enough to stick with it and reach their goals. Although I have gained back the few pounds that I did manage to lose and then some, I’m not giving up quit yet. I know it can be done. Each time I fail, I learn something knew and I hope that I can take everything that I have learned and use all that to finally reach my goals. I’m really trying to stay optimistic about it. I hate not feeling good about myself anymore. I miss being able to wear cute clothes and feel really confident. I will be going out of state to visit my family for Christmas and I want to look good! I don’t want to be embarrassed to run into old friends while I’m there either. I think five months is plenty of time to make great changes! Tomorrow will be day one and I know there are wonderful people here that will support me!

Hi,
staying motivated is hard. I usually try to find excuses like work, kids etc. In addition, I’m expecting results immediately. My progress has been slow but I have been learned a lot about self-discipline. All I can say is you have to stay motivated if you want to reach your goals. In my case, going to gym is the easy part - the hardest part is to eat clean. Also friends that share same goals are indispensable. Keep your goals realistic and stay motivated! It ain’t easy for me - you are not alone
