I have alot of weight to lose and feel like i will never get there

i hate starting over in my weight loss journey

my weight has slowly crept up on me for the last year. i keep going back and forth on whether to join jenny craig or just go back on WW. i think WW is the way to go for me. i lost 32 pounds a few years ago.

now if i can only find that same determination that i had back then. maybe when my pants rip cuz they don't fit is when i'll feel the determination

It sounds like WW is a good plan for you.

I know it can be overwhelming when a person thinks about "all of the weight" they have to lose. I would just set some small mini-goals for myself so that I could be successful. I think if you just start by seeing a small weight loss, like 2 lbs, you will feel like you are on your way. Before you know it all of that weight loss will add up & you'll be down 32 lbs again.

To begin, try making a couple of small changes. Maybe for a week focus on increasing your water intake & walking a bit everyday. Then the following week keep with the water & walking but add another focus, like eating more veggies & fruit. The following week try cutting out some of the unhealthier foods that you may have been eating.

C'mon....you can do it!!! Make the commitment to yourself! You are worth it!!!

I lost 30 lbs on WW over a year ago and have kept off most of the weight (maybe gained back like 5-7 lbs) but I've been on and off WW since and can't seem to get back in the groove. I sign up and then don't follow and stop going to meetings...wth?!?
I also used to be more determined to go walking, now I can't do any of it!

I needed to lose 90 lbs, now only 65 but it feels never ending!

Re: I have alot of weight to lose and feel like i will never get there

It's only neverending if you never start.

I agree with the pp...start gradually...& when you get that little loss, you'll get your momentum again.

Every study shows that losing too fast only increases the odds of gaining it back.

If you lose 1-2lbs a week...in 10 weeks, that's 10-20lbs.

Baby steps...you can do this!

i agree with the other girl baby steps...

my mom and I both joined weight watchers with 80-100 lbs to lose each... well 10 months later we are down 50 lbs, we never thought we would lose more than 15 lbs, you have to make small goals like 5 lbs at a time...

I agree take it 5 at a time. You can do this!

Re: I have alot of weight to lose and feel like i will never get there

just take it one day at a time

I agree with all PPs, but another thing that helped, just starting today was going back to the meeting..I went back after a month (somehow lost 7 lbs...NO CLUE since i did NOTHING good) and found my leader that helped me lose over 100 lbs. (gained back about 30 lbs. over a couple of years) and cut up some green peppers with my hummus for snack...it's small steps and I find the meetings are helpful...you just have to go..haha...hang in there and let's support eachother..I know how you feel and can't seem to get annoyed enough, but am getting there...I think the meetings, when you go, do seep in after a while and you get it back...hang in there!!

Re: I have alot of weight to lose and feel like i will never get there

You can do it. And this board is great support/motivation.

Just take it one day at a time. Create mini goals (ie every 5 lbs)

And when you "break" from your plan don't beat yourself up. You can do it good luck!
