Need to lose weight

How did you mamas who lost a massive amount of weight motivate yourselves. I am almost tempted to sign up for biggest loser because they will give me that motivation.. According to the charts I am supposed to be about 150-160. I am 320. I know I have become a fat sack of lard and my husband knows. I try to get help from my sister to motivate me but she just tells me that I am not fat and gets mad at me for saying I am... My husband doesn't know how to help me stay motivated seeing as he likes to go and get ice cream and bring it home and I don't say no... I need my brother because he was always good for that but him being in Afghanistan doesn't exactly help.

Tape pictures of skinny bitches all over your house.
On the fridge, in the bathroom, in your room, ect.
Hell even make it the wall paper on your phone.

Remind yourself when you want to eat and your body isn't hungry.
'nothing tastes as good, as skinny feels'

Honestly I didn't start dropping weight until I got mean with myself and said look.. You're not hungry, your fat is hungry.. So drink Some water.

I started having health issues due to the weight I gained. So it was basically either go blind or lose weight and that motivated me. At my heaviest, I was around 260. Now I'm just under 200 (it took me about 7ish months to get down to that, but my goal is 150). My doctor put me on adipex because some of the health issues I had could only be kept under control if I lost the weight quick so that helped a ton and along with that, I ate healthy, counted calories, stayed away from soda's and went walking for about 30min-1 hour at least every other day.

Lol. That sounds good. The thing is that I was losing weight before but since DH and I have moved in with my mother that has all gone into the smurffer. Oh and if I do that my sister will tear them down saying my image isn't realistic and skinny people are ugly even though she is one..  

You could start a weight loss blog to help motivate you. Take a picture every week so you can watch your progress. If you're worried about others seeing the blog you could always make it private (kinda like a weight loss diary)
Just remember, the only way to lose weight is by burning more calories then you consume! So that means cardio cardio cardio!!

That sounds cool. I wouldn't even know where to start with that though. Don't blogs cost money?

Quoting Raindancer:" That sounds cool. I wouldn't even know where to start with that though. Don't blogs cost money?"

Nope! Just go to blogger.com and sign up! I have tons of different blogs, Some I use as diaries, some I use to post publicly... They're all free. They would only cost money if you wanted to create your own domain name.. for example, say you wanted your website to be Icanloseweight.com, that name would cost monthly.

High fructose corn syrup is THE enemy!!! Its very fattening! if you want something sweet go for real sugar instead of HFCS!

Tell your sister to suck it.
If you aren't happy with your body and want to lose weight she should support you!
Explain that there are health risks that come with being overweight and she needs to encourage you.
I've lost a total of 49lbs in the last 11 months, I'm still not happy with my body.
You just have to get that mindset of, im going to do this and nothing else is acceptable.

Y'all are uber awesome! Thank you! I have to go spend time with my child now cause he is done with daddy. He is down there yelling Amber. Lol. I think it is funny how he calls me by my name.

I make a weekly menu on what I am cooking and when I grocery shop I go off of the menu I planned. I drink tons of water.

I have started taking pictures of my progress. Once you see the weight coming off its hard not to keep jumping on the scale.

Planning my meals has really helped me to continue to eat healthy. I try and stick to lean meats..fish..tuna..chicken.. dont really eat to much of anything else.

The first week I quit, I lost 9lbs. I know most of it was just the water weight, but after I saw the numbers drop that much it motivated me even more to lose the weight.
