inspire me to lose weight and give me a BIG kick up the arse!!!

[chimchar]

i lost over 3 stone a few years ago with ww. i kept the weight off for about 2 1/2 years, but after some shitty times, it has crept up and up...i've now got 2 stone to lose to get to my goal weight.

i feel horrible, look wobbly and yukky, have no clothes that look nice or fit and just want to start ww again, but can't seem to find the kick start i need. i know once i start, i'll love it and be good.

i have hols in 4 weeks...i could lose going on a stone by then if i'm super good.

HELPPPPPP MEEEEEEE!!!!

Be inspired by the thought of you on the beach, looking fab.

Try the costume on and see how you look.

• picture yourself having to ask for a seatbelt extension

Join one of the MN slimming clubs. They are all really supportive on there.

But really - you have your holiday booked. You feel yuck. If that doesn't give you the motivation then I don't know what will.

Don't think about the next 4 weeks maybe. Do it meal by meal. So have a healthy breakfast - when it comes to lunchtime, make a good choice. Don't look at the weeks ahead, look at today and tomorrow look at tomorrow and perhaps it won't seem so overwhelming?

Are you planning to go back to WW or do you want to try a different approach.

Can you face keeping a food and exercise diary?

Do you have a loved-one (or tripod and remote) to take a weekly picture of you to motivate a loss.

You've done 3st before, you can do 2st now!

(I confess I am in about the same place myself except with no holiday but a couple of weddings to go to)

Hecate, the meal by meal idea is good, thanks. I've lost 21.5lb, but need to keep going and lose 12 more lb.

Chimchar - I think ww is free registration atm, but if you'd also like to join us on the 2010 Weight loss summer slinkies thread we try and motivate each other through the challenging times.

thanks everyone.

i'm really struggling.

i wasn't going to actually go to ww, but use my stuff at home, but tbh the only way i think i'll start is by going. time to visit a class is scarce for me though....

i'm having a bit of a shit time at the mo...pmt (CHOCOLATEEEEE!!!!) but its the first anniversary of my mums death this week, i've not long come of anti d's, working two jobs, have 3 kids, am constantly tired and struggling generally!

sorry...that wasn't meant to start as a moan!

i like the meal at a time idea. thanks. will try that. would love to join a thread with you gettin if you dont mind. thanks.
