Hi I am just starting my battle towards losing weight and I had a recommendation that you all on this board are very supportive. I was wondering what has been/is everyones biggest obstacle when it comes to losing weight? Also what was your main reason behind starting to lose weight? I thought that maybe if we all work towards overcoming these obstacles, it will be easier for us all.
I'll start, I have just recently started my work towards weight loss because as a new father, I no longer want to be out of energy for playing with my son, as well I am afraid the weight is dangerous to my health, as heart disease runs in my family.
Please post your reasons so we can all be supportive of each other. That way we can all reach our goals easier

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
As for my biggest obstacle.. it's simple complacency. I'm about halfway to my final weight goal from where I started aout 6 months ago. The biggest threat to my reaching my final goal is just that I get into a rut and stop working hard enough to lose weight! I work hard for a week or two.. then I get lazy.. then I realize that no weight is coming off.. and I work hard again.. thinking that I'm going to keep at it until I get where i want to be.. but I get lazy again. The biggest challenge is just to keep the fire lit under my backside for long enough to get the results that i want!
