What helps you stay focused!!

MrMojo - Part 2

I've suffered with a bad back and sciatic problems for a while and have recently seen a specialist. I'm currently seeing a spinal specialist Physiotherapist to strengthen my back and core to prevent myself (damaged discs, more worn than they should be for someone my age) from requiring surgery.

So this is another reason why I need to lose weight, get fit again and improve my health

How lovely and inspiring to read through all of these posts, thankyou everyone for sharing.
I think what helps me stay focus, well what did before is like what has been already posted
-its easy to do, when head is in right place
-instant results
-price

Also i have just turned 30, and i am fed up of admiring my friends and their dress sense, i want to go into any shop and pick up anything i like and know it will look good. I want to get fitter and healthier when i get to goal. I also want to ride my pony without thinking i am too heavy for him!
This restart is my last restart, i am in it till the end, i know i will have a few days off plan for various events, but i will not beat myself up over it. I am already working out in my head how to maintain when at goal, as i am never coming back! x x

Actually, I think the other bit that really helps keep me focused is the fantastic support and encouragement on here. Knowing that whatever time of day or night, I can log on and find other people that understand what we're going through, the crazy, daft, sabotaging thoughts we have, and can help me turn it around.

So I think for me, as well as finding a diet that works for me, the really big difference this time is finding the support that helps me stick to it, and believe that I really can reach all the way to my goal. So thank you!!!

Finding a fit young mistress once I'm slim keeps me on track (well I can dream lol)

 

[MrMojo]

Like k8te, I want to be able to walk into any shop and know I can fit something in there.

I want to be able to get both my engagement ring and wedding ring on at the same time

Silly thing, I want to not feel embarrassed when trying to walk past a table/ person and not freak out I'm going to knock something over

I want to look good for my husband and not feel like I have to hide myself!

Mine is a bit different. My weight loss is for me for certain, but it took other peoples perspective for me to realise.

I want all of the normal stuff; going into ordinary shops, looking better, feeling better, improving my multitude of health problems.

I was doing weightwatchers and lately i've gotten very... meh...about it all. I've been exercising a lot and sticking to points etc, yet not seeing the results I wanted... a good week was 1lb off despite working my ass off at the gym

Recently I've been really into this friend of mine, and i've developed a little... crush I did speak to him about it and he was completely honest that I was too overweight. Some people might have reacted badly about it but I feel like it was just what I needed. Instead of lies and being led on.

I won't say that I'm doing it for him, because I'm not. Just made me realise that... hey wait...men actually might like me as a person, and my looks outside of the weight problem

So I've decided to get serious and come back to exante. I know it works, just gotta tone down the exercise a bit and keep at it

I was doing a managable plan with weightwatchers. I was happy doing my gym regime. But for some reason it just WASN'T working. I'm on a shitload of really potent meds, and my doc says they will cause problems while trying to lose weight. Whereas I was losing well with exante while on my meds.

Well im a single mum of a 3 year old boy whos very smart and wanting to learn about everything and when i gave up smoking 3 weeks ago he was so proud of me it was lovely to see, he was telling every1 'My mummy doesnt smoke ever again!' So that pushed me and stopped me having any hiccups.

However as we all know giving up smoking usually amounts to putting on more weight so thought i should get on top of it sooner rather than later after more damage has been done.

My son was trying to get to something a few weeks ago but he said 'i cant get it mummy because you're very fat' and i was shocked and questioned him about it because hes always been such a lovely little boy and i was surprised to hear him say it. But to be honest he was just being honest lol he didnt mean to be insulting he was just making an observation. So that again spurred me on to do something about it.

Iv been on the diet one week and he turned around to his auntie yesterday and said: Mummy only has water and melted ice creams for dinner now.

Did make me chuckle!

But yea i just wanna be the confident outgoing person i was before i got pregnant and let my weight get out of control and im hoping to be there by christmas x

Well done you. Whatever the trigger you are doing it and for you. Not anyone else. It will fall off you. Just stick to it and success is yours. It will be worth it then you may decide you don't like him much anyway!

Yeah I only fancy him a little bit.. its not even that serious! He said in no uncertain terms that it was the only thing holding him back... which was a bit weird, but the important part for me was that he saw my personality. He saw that i'm cute in my own way.

I just am so down on myself that I think no one would like me, fat or skinny, and I just give up. I think I needed that boost to keep me going

And yeah I might think i'm too good for anyone when i'm gorgeous and skinny.... bahaha

Ok so am not on the diet coz of a few health problems. Its so annoying coz I so want to be a size 12. But "I'll be back" (Arnie voice lol). Till am sorted am calorie counting.

I, like others I have always been "f fat" And nothing is so good at the moment like going to most shops and picking up a size 14 dress and knowing it will fit. That is motivation enough. I enjoy the school run now coz I know I am not huffing and puffing well and not sweating. My son told my niece that mummy is happy now coz she is slimmer lol. I suppose it's true coz I like my picture taken. Another thing is going to the doctors with a problem and not feeling paranoid they may think it's coz u r fat.

Well I can also sit at those fold up chairs at my sons school. Other tym I sat on the floor and it felt good.

Av been told I look younger as well. Someone thought I was 25 other day not bad since am 31. I love Exante losses and miss them so much.

For me, My motivation is simple. I suffer with polycystic ovaries, struggle with insulin resistance and cannot eat "normally" I over eat, always have and I'm hoping now i've broken the cycle i can get passed this.

Food is my addiction and giving it up hasn't been as difficult as it has in the past but that is because i want to see my son grow, i want to be able to take him on fairground rides without having the bar squish into my fat stomach. I don't want to have to huff and puff and walk slowly while he's running... i want to be chasing him.

It's fairly ironic with me, whenever i start to look after myself and lose weight, I always end up losing a partner. This time has been no different. So for me it's a fresh start in a lot of ways.
