am i successfully losing weight

melissamstanford42 profile image

i've been told i'm losing weight by work collegues and i believe them but i feel i have a lot of shaping and toning to do on my body and would like to look fitter to my own impression of my self not just mentally in word but physically in body.

i do have a lot of things to do to keep myself interested, present and productive but people worry about my activity and relate it to my mental stablity in what is thought and said. believing something wrong with me wanting to shape up and attract a partner.

i take all sorts of prescibed and bought medicines to help myself be better in my future self than the way i feel about my present body. i don't live in the past or my body from years ago.

its not just shape and size but perception and height. my mirror and reflection is distubed and i know i do more than look good but i would like to see the others perspective if it means i look more attractive!!

anyway i eat but would like to keep weight off as good as i can...

You buy over the counter medicines as well as those prescribed . I would chat to your GP about these as this could be helpful in your journey to lose weight as some medications don't work well together . I feel medical advice to sort out all that you are taking may be helpful . After you sort out your food / eating plans I would try and get some exercise . I found group classes are helpful as you feel you want to turn up and I don't want to eat much before or after them . The company is good too as most are wanting to tone as well as shedding those pounds . My Zumba class is all women . We bounce off each other . All ages , all sizes and when we say see you next time we mean it .
