Weight Loss Motivation, Support, and My Story.

I can't bring myself to go on treadmill everday!

It's easier for me to stop eating certain foods and have much smaller portions but I can't bring myself to go on treadmill everday!

Can't believe 2 people negged you! Great work OP

Trust me, after 5 mins on the treadmill you'll be buzzing. You just need the motivation to get on there. Just blast some music and get going xx

Wow, congratualtions on your success, you've done super well. Your thread is so encouraging and inspiring and you have shown the right way to lose weight and become helathy and i appreciate that.

Did/do you have emotional issues with food? I have these issues with food and i'm working on overcoming them with hypnotherapy. How i see it is that we should all change mentally and emotionally as well as physically when losing weight so that we can maintain our weight loss.

What are your plans for maintaining your weight loss?

I've been told by a lot of people recently that I should do a proper thread about weight loss, because there are many who could benefit from some motivation. For a long time, I shrugged this off, because I didn't know who would want to learn from me- someone who was just another person trying to lose weight. But from posts that I made on another forum, I learned that for some reason, people seem to like my story, and it seems to encourage them to make changes in their own lives. I will use plenty of spoiler tags in this, so you can simply read the bit you're interested in, and ignore the rest of it.

If there is anything that you'd like to know that I haven't covered, please feel free to post your questions below and I will add them to the thread whenever I can. It's important to me that I answer everyone's questions, as I wish that I'd had someone to do that for me when I first started.

I understand that this might not appeal to everyone, but if you're not interested please just leave. I don't usually bother about being negged, but I spent quite a long time on this thread so it's bit annoying when people just neg and run (although obviously I can see who you are).

Well done on your weight loss and good informational thread, I'm from Bootle, Liverpool and going to study Psychology and Criminology in September at hope. I'm trying to find books that will help a newbie in psychology can you name a book that's for newbies as id like to know a little before i go thanks

AMAZING AND INSPIRING. Sorry I had to write that in caps lock to really project my awe. You must be so proud of yourself, please tell us any funny or uplifting stories you faced during your weightloss journey e.g. if you met a friend you hadn't seen in a long time.

Hope recommends "Psychology" by Martin, Carlson and Buskist for first years, but you might want to drop them an email to make sure that's still the recommended text because it's not cheap! I'm not sure about criminology as I did straight psych, but it was good fun and I met lots of lovely people. Oh and the campus is nice

Edit: I have friends in Bootle

hey thanks very much Ill look into that as i want a bit of psychology knowledge before hand. Are students allowed to record lectures in Hope by means of Dictaphone or other recording device i find it hard to concentration sometimes Especially if id have a hangover. Do you mind if i add you to my friends just so i can drop you a few questions if i need them?? If not its fine thanks very much for the info and the guide is great ill be following that shortly

I can't really think of any funny stories as such, but there have been a lot of people who haven't seen me for a long time who were impressed. I like it when I see people who bullied me at school. We only live in a small town so we see everyone all the time, and the look on their face when they realise it's me is brilliant.

I was in a pub having a meal last year, and one of the girls who bullied me was serving. She started speaking to me as though we were best friends or something, as if she hadn't made my life a living hell while I was at school, and she asked me how I'd lost the weight. I told her that it took a lot of motivation, but I wanted to thank her for every nasty comment, every kick, every slap etc; because remembering how I felt when she bullied me was one of the things that gave me so much strength.

I like your story its veryINSPIRATIONAL you have to be proud for your self ))

It must be soo nice to meet all the people who made fun of you in the past now that you look amazing. (I also hope that this happens to me too)

you look better when you were fat o_O

This should be a sticky for all the girls that come here and ask if eating one grape a day will allow them to lose weight. Amazing transformation, you should be proud!
