Motivation

What motivates your current weight loss journey?

For me it was the realisation that my self esteem had flatlined because of my self loathing due to my body shape, and size and my overall fitness.

For 12 years I have yo -yo'd

29th April I started the final weightloss journey -  my plan is to be slim and fit and happy with my shape and size by New Year at the latest...... as of today (23rd May) there is 42lb more to move!

I lost my mother because of weight loss surgery.  I am obese and afraid I won't be here for my children very long if I do not do something.

And now you're getting there fast!

You've been doing really great, Helen. You should be totally proud.

As for my motivation, right now it's my summer holidays. I'm going out of town for two weeks solid, and during that time I'll be meeting a friend in person that I met through this website. After that, I'm going back to school RIGHT after I get back from my trip, so I want to be slimmer for that too.
