It's so nice to see you here. I have noticed a few bubblers here. I'm still trying to navigate my way around and trying to find what everyone is blogging about. I'm not having much luck. I see recent activity, but not their own discussions. :)

Dieting requires commitment and focus. I think that's why I usually fail. I know how you feel.

@pinkCardigangirl I'm going to take a stab at it again. I've gained six pounds over the winter. I need to lose that and another 50.

It really does. Sigh. It can be so hard when the mind isn't set to do it. I'm sorry I didn't see you commented until now. I guess I'm still learning my way on here. :)

I was exercising like mad and cutting back on what I ate but I was still carrying a few extra pounds. We acquired a dog (long story!) and within a couple of months lost about 7lbs. So there you go. Simple. Get a dog, if you haven't already got one. Oh, and walk him 3 times a day. I think that last bit might be the important part!! And welcome to myLot from another ex Bubbler!!!

@pinkCardigangirl If he's anything like my cats then he undoubtedly will be setting a terrible example.

Oh yay! Another bubbling friend! It's so nice to see you! We don't have a dog. We do have a cat. Maybe he's setting the wrong example for me. ha ha.

I lose weight since I was working hard, and before I was 86 kilos, now I am 65 kilos. I lose my big belly and what I have now are muscles and lesser fats. No exercises but I walk always.

Oh wow! Just from walking? That's great! I need to rethink this walking! :) Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. I didn't know it was here. I guess I'm still learning my way around this site. :)

I understand how you feel! I have depression so I get very unmotivated on trying to do various things. Losing weight is one of them! I hate going clothes shopping because I hate when the clothes that look awesome on the rack don't look good on me. Just frustrating. I hope you get into the habit of dieting and exercising so it makes you feel good for accomplishing it. I need to do the same.

@pinkCardigangirl I'm sorry about the depression. It's a very hard thing to deal with. I hope you can too! It can be a bit of a difficult thing to break an old habit and moving into a new one. haha yeah I get so damn frustrated! Almost have a tantrum in the change room lol

Oh I understand depression too. :( It's so hard to get anything done when you're fighting depression. Hopefully I'll get myself focused soon. I feel the same way about the clothes on the rack! They look cute, but when you try them on...ummmm...not so cute. lol :)

Ahh well the title is a bit confusing. Sounds like you want to lose the weight but don't want to work at it or don't have the motivation. I don't need to lose any weight but I have no motivation to exercise which everyone needs for a healthy body and heart.

I think I'm just a confusing person. Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. I guess I'm still learning this site. :) And exercise is important. :)

You know if you diet the right way you can eat a lot of food. It's a matter of what you're putting in your mouth not how much. Oh and fat doesn't make you fat, sugar does.

That's my problem right there! Sugar! I can't have it in the house or I go crazy. I will just binge on chocolates and sweets! When I was young I rarely ate candy. Now that I'm older, I need something sweet. But I don't buy it so I won't eat it. And I'm sorry for not seeing your comment until right now. I guess I'm still figuring things out. :)

Hi, there was a time when i was struggling in GAINING weight. Yes that was my problem because I seem to lose weight faster than other people. I talked to my cousin about that and he happens to be a doctor and he told me i should discipline myself to to sleep at least 8 hours. Eat my meals at exactly the same time everyday and eat healthy snacks in between almost the same time everyday. In a matter of one month I gained 2kg. He told me it's the same with gaining weight. You have to be disciplined and you have to be consistent. Good luck!
