Need Inspiration To Lose Weight

I have been v successful with WW in the past but haven't had much luck with the new plan. I tried it for several weeks and only lost 1 pound. Granted, I don't have much to lose (about 7 pounds) but even so, 1 pound over the course of many weeks doesn't seem right to me.

I tried South Beach and while it worked, once I was away from my comfort zone it was impossible to stick to. That's what sparked my wanting to try WW again.

I am stuck! I just saw a picture of myself at my dad's house from a few years ago and was grossed out by how fat my face is. That's motivating me to want to do something, I just don't know what that is.

First of all


When I was in college I gained a TON of weight. After I got married I wanted to make a change. It took me about 3 years but I lost 45 pounds. I never felt better. Even being pregnant I think I would be feeling physically worse if I did not become as active as I did.

I just started keeping track of what I was eating in my head. Not point values or anything like that, but "Maybe I shouldn't have that slice of cake because I had french fries for lunch." I started eating more whole grains, brown rice instead of white rice, more fruits and veggies as snacks. I got these little snack cups from Tupperware that I put cookies and grapes and things like that in so I don't overindulge.

I started going to the gym. I used the elliptical machine at first, but then got bored, so I started trying out the classes they offered-Zumba, Kickboxing, Yoga. I had a blast. That also made it part of my schedule, so Monday nights I'd have Zumba, Tuesdays was kickboxing, etc.

Just start making small changes and you'll see a difference! Good luck!
