Weight Management Weight Management and Nutrition

I'm looking for some help and advice from everyone out there in the weight management community. I got married a few weeks ago, and was really motivated before the big day to lose weight - I ate really well, I exercised regularly and I felt great (& managed to lose a few kilos too!). But I've been home from my honeymoon for a week now, and I'm finding it really hard to get back into my exercise program, and to stop eating the foods I know won't do me any good. I feel like I need something else to focus on - a goal to work towards. Has anyone got any other tips for getting back on track? Thanks! Charmaine

Hi Everyone
Well must lose 20 kilos as I have just found out I have Arthritis I love my sport and can not run at the moment in the past I have ran 9 marathons can hardly walk after sitting down for too long.
Hope you can all help
Thanks again Ann

I have found a page with some great motivation blogs and video's:

One of my personal favorites is: http://www.myrun.com.au/how-bad-do-you-want-it

This is more if you have problems reaching your goal or just feel like you can't achieve it.

Hi Charmaine, I've lost a total of 30kg and have found a goal to be one of the best ways to keep my eating on track. I had to find one which truely made it worth it for me though - I've started training for endurance triathlons. Another way was to get my friends and colleagues helping me. My partner hides the treats from me and dishes out my daily portion only, and by letting my friends and colleagues know that I'm training for an event and trying to lose a few kilos, they help to keep me on track with my nutrition. Keeping a record of your weight and measurements!! (these can change while your weight stays the same if you're gaining muscle) each week or each fortnight becomes a good visual motivator as well.

just put on underwear that cuts into your hip fat and look in the mirror! hahahaha.
My best motivation is googling sites, not really about weight loss but health and detox and liver health etc, it seems to keep me motivated to eat well

Gday Charmaine,

You KNOW what works - DO it. ThINK less : DO more

I am 30+ yerars older than you, so MASSIVELY more difficult for metabolic change
- 2008 60 y.o (post stroke) 97Kgs! NOW 63y.o 77kgs.

- Walk 30 mins daily PLUS 'twice' on Sunday!

- CHOOSE to be content with being a little 'hungry'

- Drink water, instead of snacking

- Be busy, distract yourself with productive activity keep smiling 'n keep going, drmichael
