Help
Hi Guys it has been a long times since I have been on here and posted.
a brief look into my journey.
I had my Surgery on May 1st 2007 I lost 100# and then met my future bride to be. SInce then i have put back on 20#s I am struggling to get back on track. It has been a bad last few years for my business and last year around this time I lost my younger brother.
I find it difficult getting back on track. Im not sure how o do it. I kow get back to the basics but I just cant find the modivation to do it. I started W W a month ago but that doesnt seem to be helping me either.
Any advice. I would like to loose another 50 to 75 pounds

Hello
For me I got back on track by starting an exercise routine. I started to lose the weight fast and that motivated me to make small changes to my eating habits. I think a lot of people try to control their weight by diet alone but that is a big mistake and here's why-
When we are losing weight we are losing muscle mass. Our muscles are the fat/calorie burning machines in our bodies. So as we are losing muscle mass we are losing our calorie burning machine (slower metabolism) making it more and more difficult to lose weight. Each time we lose weight we lose more muscle...thus making it much easier to regain. That is one reason there is so much regain. If you work out as you lose weight you not only rebuild the muscle you are losing but you build more muscle. After you are done losing weight it will be easier to maintain your weight...because you have more muscle mass!!! See it's a vicious cycle.
When working out include cardio and strength training. I know no one wants to work out but getting serious about working out has helped me not only lose weight but I feel better.
