Hello everyone, although I have seen success in weight loss it has been mainly due to a diet change. Nothing else as of now, strictly dietary. That is what brings me here. I have gone from being overweight to now at my target weight, but I want to get fit and in shape; I am hoping this is a great place for tips and motivation.
My story starts like most of yours, overweight, under confident, upset, depressed and trying everything I could find to help my weight go down - nothing worked! I would occasionally lose 5 pounds or so but never kept the weight off. What I learned is that losing weight is not an event, but a process that will continue until it is a lifestyle created mainly by you, but your friends, family and anyone who is willing to help.
It took me way too long to realize this, way too long. But when I finally did after about 4 months, this was now what I looked like:
Woot! Never in my life had I stuck with something with such commitment, the discipline that I leaned not only helped me lose weight, but it CHANGED MY LIFE! I am now more confident, I feel better about myself, I look in the mirror with a smile...I am much more HAPPY! My goal with joining this forum is to learn more active ways to stay fit and learn to enjoy them. When I first started my diet, I hated it; I repeat - I hated it! But now that I know how beneficial it has been to not only my body, but my entire life - I WILL NEVER GO BACK. Not only because I like the weight I am at, but I have turned this diet into a lifestyle, it is part of me and I am part of it.
My only advice to others is to find a diet plan that works for you! There might be some that are too expensive, too time consuming, too 'whatever!' But there is something out there for you, I PROMISE! You just need to find it. Once you find it, stick with it! You can lose 15 pounds in 3 weeks by literally just changing your diet! It is that important. Find a dietary plan that works for you and stick with it! No matter what! For 3 weeks, stick with it, watch the weight drop off of your body and you will no longer struggle with your diet, you will embrace it!

I am in part two of my three stage life change. Part one was changing my diet and losing the initial weight. Part two, is to get active and get fit. Part three, stay healthy, stay slim, stay fit and live life to the fullest (and look darn good doing it!!!)
If you read my story, I appreciate it! I remember sitting on the other side of the computer with my hand on my head struggling to find the answers to my questions. It wasn't until someone posted an incredible success story that really motivated me- if I motivated you guys, even just one of you, then this was all worth it!
Post if you have any questions or advice on some beginning training for me!
Have a great day y'all - diet smart and safe :)
