Boiling! This is the last!

The weather is gorgeous BUT being 6 stone overweight I cannot move without turning into a disgusting wet mess! This is the last straw and hopefully the encouragement I need. I will not spend another summer hiding and sweating.

Our consultant said the other night that the Argos catalogue weighs almost 5lb so when you look at it like that I'm carrying around at least 16 of them all the time in this heat, any wonder my brow is moist ;-)

Is the heat motivating you?
 
It is motivating me because this time last year I was about 17stone and yes the hot days we had (didn't get as hot a summer as this year though!) I struggled and I was lighter at 17stone than I had been when I started so I must have been really struggling when I was at my heaviest! This year I've been much cooler and happier at 12st 11lb :)
 
I used to think I had some kind of excess sweating problem but now I'm nearly at target I can see it was being overweight! I've lost the equivalent of 74 blocks of lard - I keep imagining how difficult it would be carrying that about
 
Yup this is me - hate the heat.

I am also carrying 6 extra stone. I always thought I was just strange and didn't like the heat but its this weight. Horrible!!
 
I hate summer, always have! Having extra weight isn't helping along with being too embarassed to wear shorts and a tank top. Wearing leggings and long tops with a light cardi to hide my arms! Boiling! x
 
Yep me too, I used to love the hot weather but now I'm heavier I hate it, sweaty bits, rubbing bits :eek: ewww had enough!!!
 
Yeh I turn into sweaty Betty it's not pleasant :0(
 
The sweaty face is unfortunately me too and I agree it is really really embarrassing. And you then get the, ' are you unwell' questions :'(
 
Sweaty face is a nightmare. I was getting ready to baby sit for a friend tonight and couldn't straighten my hair coz it was going frizzy and whenever i put powder on my face it was dripping straight off, its embarrasing standing there and having drips coming off you. I get sweaty "down there" ......sorry - its embarrasing when sitting on plastic seats then getting up!!!
 
Do you know I thought it was just me! I went with my daughter to pick up her glasses from the opticians on thursday and the sweat was dripping off my face, I had a feeling it was my weight though as no one else seemed to be sweating so much. I will get this weight off and enjoy next summer.
 
Definitely agree, it really is very embarassing! I just want to feel confident in the summer, be able to wear a bikini, not be afraid to take off my cardigan coz of the sweat marks. I feel ashamed that I have let myself become this way and I don't want it to continue for any longer.

Good luck on your journey

Your not alone I try to avoid plastic/leather seats :0(
 
I hate that I can't enjoy summer like everyone else seems to be because of sweating so much. Mine isn't as bad as last year when I was 5 stone heavier but it's still noticeable.
I used to pile so much make up on my face thinking it was helping and 'covering it up' but it was just making things worse. I can't wait to be able to go out in this kind of heat we're having now and not feel so self conscious about looking like an idiot! xx
 
I feel exactly the same! Really struggling with my 12 hour shifts in this heat. Another thing is visiting other ppl and panicing cos I wont sit on garden seats as I am so worried they will break :( so having to draw attention by standing or sitting on the ground, and at 27 stone getting up and down isnt very elegant :( x
 
Morning everyone!! Its a cooler day here, no sun, and its breezy, thank goodness!!

We're always looking for motivation.....right??

Well this thread is it!! Next time (even when the sun is gone) your thinking.....why should I struggle on with thiis weight loss? Is it worth it? Ect. Well this thread should be motivation.

Every summer I say, next year i'll do it, but I really will by next year. My friend has lost a lot of weight and she said, just think to yourself, this time next year you could be a size 8, I was like......what?? Sounds unbelievable but it isn't, not for any one of us. It IS possible. Eating healthy in this heat isn't a problem, and I suppose everyone is motivated because people are wearing more, I find the hard part when its winter and everyone is covering up and putting on a bit of weight anyway....because I tend to forget about the summer.

Even if....say for example next summer there is only 2 days of sun, so what, imagine waking up on one of those days and actually looking forward to getting some skimpy clothes on and showing off your body.
