Okay, so i'm new here and wholly unmotivated. I've been overweight since high school and i'm sick of it. I have back problems and being this heavy makes them worse. I'm only 23 but i live in near-constant pain which makes it hard to work out. I'm also stuck in the house like 24/7 having moved to a city where i only know a handful of people and have no job or car :( yet. I mostly workout on a wii fit since i'm super self-conscious about going for walks and runs by myself, especially in an area i don't know very well. My diet is controlled by my roommates who are kind enough to help me back on my feet, but don't really seem to care what they eat as long as it's not super-processed. Sure, organic food is awesome, but eating cheese with every meal isn't better for you *sigh*. So basically i'm stuck. I don't get to dictate my diet and i have no access to a gym or real people to work out with. I really need someone to be accountable to since right now, let's face it, if i skip a day, nobody knows... hell, nobody knows i'm trying to begin with. I have about 50 lbs. to loose before i'm happy, anybody with me?

i'm totally with you. I'm 24 had major back surgery at 14 and have been sightly overweight my whole life. than when i turned 20 i had my first baby and 9 months afte she was born i was pregnant again and 2 years later here i sit hugely gross and fat. i like yourself do not like going out and walking alone. so maybe we can be eachothers support system my email is [email protected] send me an email and we can chat about losing this fat :)
