That's an awesome first step. Getting over that inertia is so tough.

Hey... do you want an accountability buddy?

I need to lose a lot of weight too. I've really ballooned while my boyfriend and I are in an LDR. 185 pounds!! Christ! (Although I have done powerlifting in the past, so a lot of it is still muscle... I'm still getting to the point of just way too fat. Big belly coming in.)

I went hiking for 2 hours last night, stopped drinking beer a couple weeks ago, and am going to try to get back into running... starting tonight.

Starting is the hardest part, so you definitely deserve a pat on the back!

Right now I am the fattest I have ever been, ever ever, and I absolutely hate it! I try not to spend too much time on self-loathing, and just use it as motivation to do better. I have a 5 month old, so I've been taking him out in the stroller and walking a mile around my complex. Baby gets fresh air and some sights, and also a nap, and I get some nice time in nature and some good exercise! I'm also counting calories which has helped me more than any other kind of diet. I used to be super restrictive (read: orthorexia) and it doesn't help me now. I log everything into MyFitnessPal. Last month I tried a diet that cut out sugar, wheat, and dairy, and I lost 12 pounds, but I was pretty much counting calories anyway, so I just switched to that.

I'm subscribed to quite a few subreddits to help motivate me, like loseit, 1200isplenty, 1500isplenty, and a few keto ones because I tend to feel better when I'm not weighed down with too many carbs.

We still eat fast food, so when I go, I don't get fries because they are justa big calorie sucker. I had a chicken sandwich at Wendy's and actually got fries last week and the fries were more calories than the crispy sandwich! Unbelievable! The fries weren't even that good! boo!

Anyway, best of luck to you! You're doing great by taking the first steps :)

Ugh this I dread...I weigh 160 am 5'5 (had two bbs) and can't kick the weight. I get better/stronger at running, hiking, yoga and Pilates but feel like bc of my weight being 30+ of where I was pre-kids, I can't be proud of my body. Every meal is home cooked low to no carbs and I feel like the only way to see myself slimming down is to get real comfortable with the sensation of intense hunger.

Really well done on going to the gym, the hardest thing is starting a good habit :)

I put on a lot of weight after my first baby, and it took real effort to shift it (I used the old weightwatchers propoints and pilates mainly) but i'm determined to go into a second pregnancy much fitter in general and keep the weight gain off as much as possible. I've added running with husband and 4yo (on a bike) around the neighbourhood some evenings, and i'm gradually getting better stamina and a bit faster.

I still collapse a bit after we get back, though!
