Just found this thread recently, as I'm new to the site as well. So unfortunately, I'm a bit behind, but I'll post anyway.
Recently switched from a super active job that had me walking to and from work to... a desk job. I literally must be by my phone all day and cannot wander around, and there are no stairs in this building. It is honestly driving me a bit crazy with frustration. I went from hovering around 135lbs at 5'6" to being closer to 160lbs... And I might have even broken that line too.
Definitely feeling discouraged lately on the topic.
But I'm finally in a place where I feel both in control and motivation to change things up. I used to do weights in my home back in the day, but I've since moved and have no room for this type of set-up. Which just leaves me with... gym time. I think that's the most difficult part. Getting up the confidence to step into that gym and try to do my work-outs when I'm already feeling vulnerable.
If I post this here, I feel like I'll have a bit more drive and motivation. Now you guys all know my 'secret'. I'm over 160lbs... My jeans don't fit anymore. I've never felt so insecure about my looks before. So... I'm hoping that I can change that, starting with putting this out there for you guys to see.
