Hi everyone. I am a man, 36 years old. Over the years the pounds have piled on so i am now well in the obese range. However im still struggling with motivation to loose weight. I mean how dangerous is it to  be a bit heavy? any experiences from people of my age group? Good luck everyone!

    Hi Nisse, Is there no one around you that can help motivate you to start losing weight? I have an idea that helped me. I took pictures of myself in a bikini (horrilbe sight!!) stuck it in places that would be in my face all the time at home. They were strictly only for my eyes and that motivated me to lose weight because I honestly hated seeing how terrible I looked. I have tried all the short cuts and fad diets none of them work!! Healthy eating and exercise is the way to go.

    Hi Nisse

    It is in a way dangerous because you might be illegible to diabetes, high blood pressure and other illnesses like cardiovascular diseases.

    What workout plan were you trying that you lost motivation with?  Do you have a group of friends that can help motivate you to get back into working out?
