See ive lost weight before but just as i lose it i always gain it back either for lack or exsercise or poor eating habits....but now i need to try again and be able to stay that way im just a little lost on where to start and stay with that

Welcome!
Sounds like you need to find a plan that will hold your interest and work for you..
You should be eatin' 3 healthy meals a day with 1-2 healthy small snacks.
I would for sure start a diary here and look over the club sections for exercise challenges.
It's such a great way and fun way to get started and learn from all the great people that visit here. |

Rep Power: 182 | | Welcome to the forum.
Ya know, I guess all the recent members joining the forum saying, "I've lost weight before but gained it all back" nullifies the idea of forming a habit in 30 days or whatever, lol.
But I'd be willing to bet it has more to do with their thinking going into it. I think it takes some 'mental effort' to actually form a habit. It doesn't happen automatically. Interesting topic nonetheless that doesn't have to be opened up in your intro thread!
Again, welcome. |

Rep Power: 0 | | yeah I found that I could only ever diet for a few days at a time, and never really lost any weight at all until I found a diet I enjoyed and exercise that wasn't too hard work that it put me off.
When I did I managed to stick at it and keep the weight off, so it's mainly about enjoying it and making yourself feel good.
hope this helps, Mike. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
