Hi,

I'm new here. My names Katie.

I am just about to turn 20 (I know that means I'm not a teen, but you know.) Anyway, I am about 5'10" and I am embarrassed to say 234lbs. I really want to lose a good deal of weight. When I was a sophomore/junior in high school, i got down to 160lbs. I would really love to get back there, if not lower.

My problem is that I can't stick to a diet/exercise plan. I don't have much willpower and lately have been feeling kind of lethargic. I also am, not an emotional eater, but a bored eater.

Anyone who would like to be my buddy, answer me on here, or message me, whichever.

Thanks

I know your feeling of not having the will power. You just have to find one good reason you wanna lose weight and someone to support you and do it with you. Im not sure if this will help you or not, but everytime I feel like giving up or giving in, I picture myself as the person I want to be. Very fit and healthy. People will not always have 100% restraint, but I bet you could do it.

I know how you feel. I tend to eat when I'm extremely depressed about my image, even though people keep telling me I look fine (which is only my mother). I made a goal to do a 30- minutes cardio walk in the morning. I try to stay positive about myself, so now each time I wake up, i try to look forward to my exercise! So all you need is a little effort, a push, and a 30 minute walk! You can try avoiding transportation (if the distance is not too far). There are a million things you could do that would help you.

I support you a hundred percent :D let me know if you need anything!

Hi Katie.

You sound a lot like me. Our names are even close. My will power is at 0 most of the time too. I'm new too, so if you'd like to buddy up I'm game :)

If you want more than one, I'm up for it. My willpower sucks too. Doing it by myself, I never stick to it. If I'm with people though (sports teams or classes), I work out harder. I think the same kind of thing would work with just talking to someone, someone to keep me on track and motivated from knowing they're going through the same stuff.
