Hi Melissa! I can always tell when I head to the gym on days I'm unmotivated to be there. Those are always the workouts that are the toughest to get through. But it feels SO good after. That's true for anything--choosing a healthy meal over a heavy one, walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator, going to the gym even if you don't want to. Always consciously think about how great you feel once you've made the healthy decision and that's often motivation enough! One of my favorite quotes is "you only regret the workout you never did".

Ireland545, wanting to lose weight and get back into shape, ive suffered depression and anxiety and some days are really hard, my weight also gets me down, so I want to do something about it. I know its going to be hard there will be days I want to not do anything, but I want to take it slow and not let it be to overwhelming that I want to give up, I want it to be a lifestyle change.

I have used Myfitnesspal for years. It was helpful for tracking food, but never for losing weight for me. I got a Fitbit three weeks ago and dropped 5 lbs since. I have never experienced anything more motivating. I now workout 2-4x a day and eat well. My cravings have diminished as well. Just an idea if you are willing to make the investment! They range from $60-$300 depending on the type you get.
