Im new to the site and currently re-newing my subscription to a better lifestyle!
278lbs at age 30 🙄
I plan to workout Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and I just got a gym membership. I've been going for about 3 weeks now and I am somewhat consistent.
I struggle with motivation to go to the gym because of social anxiety and I honestly think working out is a boring task to complete.
As far as my diet, I have a weakness for tacos and margaritas, but I limit that to once a week most times. Other times, I'm just not eating because I'm not hungry and hate forcing myself to eat. So once a day (usually at night) is it for me.
What I'm searching for is a community of people to hold me accountable and honestly be interested in my come-up 😜
Shoot me chats and comments to encourage me and I'll take tips as well! 😃

Welcome to the forum, M_anon, good to have you with us
Good on you for signing up for the gym. It's not for everyone but maybe it will give you a regular pattern and, over time, you may get to like some of the equipment/exercises.
While exercise/activity has so many benefits, it's what we eat that is the biggest factor in weight gain/loss. Everyone has their own pattern and you need to find a healthy approach that you can enjoy, so you can stick with it for life.
I recommend the Daily Diary, where members share their meal and exercise plans for the day. Have a browse, ask questions and join in when you're ready. Again, it's about finding foods you enjoy, maybe new recipes, just trying things out. Your tacos and margaritas once a week are unlikely to be a problem. It's what we eat 80-90% of the time that makes a difference.
You'll find the Diary, weigh in, Fit is Fun club and much more by following this link healthunlocked.com/weight-l... Take your time scrolling through and then join in as much as you can.
I’m definitely 💯 trying to do the same weightloss journey as well . I’ve been trying low carb for 2 months now. I’m a lot older in my fifties so it may be a bit harder to lose the weight but I’m honestly trying. I have gotten a gym membership also, but struggle with social anxiety as well. ,,but if you encourage me I’ll encourage you oh how I wish I had a gym buddie ! My family all to busy and my husband is not interested because he’s on the slender side . What a life right ? Lol anywhooo let’s agree to keep each other encouraged and updated on our progress with weight loss.
It's good that you've found another new start with similar goals to you, however, don't forget that everyone on this forum is, or has been, trying to get slimmer and fitter, so we're all here to support you on your journey.
Take a look at our pinned posts to see what we do and I hope we'll see you joining in very soon healthunlocked.com/weight-l...
