Re: Hi, My name is Rachel and................

Motivate yourself to eat right? To workout? Both? You have to just make the committment and stick to it. Find a friend to help you along, whether they're trying to lose weight too, or if they're just good at making you stick to your word. You might be able to find an exercise buddy, somebody who maybe is in really good shape - that way you can look to them for motivation, and make plans to work out with them. If you have plans with someone, you're less likely to cancel on them. And if you workout with someone who's in better shape than you, it makes you try harder.

For diet, that can be tough. Either join Weight Watchers, or just start studying up about nutrition. There are plenty of tools online that you can use, like iShape .

Good luck!

I think it may be worse when your man can eat ANYTHING HE WANTS and not gain a freaking ounce

Re: Hi, My name is Rachel and................

my FH goes to the gym (weight lifting) 5 DAYS a week and plays basketball on tuesdays and football on sundays then there is me
I walk back and forth to the fridge

Re: Hi, My name is Rachel and................

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to find someone to work out with, but none of my friends do squat, they're lazier than I am, and no one lives out by me I like to have company when doing these things. And if I take JT to the gym, he sets the weights on the machines as high as they go, then he hangs on them to see if he weighs more It's like being there with a child....only MORE dangerous So if anyone lives on eastern LI and wants to be my gym buddy or even just wants to walk (I live on the beach, nice walking down there), let me know. I'm desperate

Re: Hi, My name is Rachel and................

Hi Rachel, I'm Kristin and I'm fat. I've gained 30 pounds since I've started dating my FH, but mainly because he's made me feel beautiful and comfortable with myself. I too can't get motivated to lose weight. I've tried practically everything.
