New here and need motivation

Hello everyone,
I'm kinda new here cos I've been on and off.I need to lose about 8kg to be on the recommended BMI. I'm 5ft7 inches and weigh 79.6kg. Trying to get to 71 or 72kg before March next year. Thinking of getting pregnant around then. I need serious motivations to stay on track cos i tend to always lose focus. I need to know how not to always want to put something in my mouth.I'll really appreciate your help

If you're always losing focus... then you have a lack of commitment. Generally, those with commitment will achieve their goals and then proceed to get other goals they want.

If you're not getting it done... you probably don't want it all that bad.

I think you just need to keep track of why you want to lose. Put up some baby pics, whenever you go to put something in your mouth think of giggles and smiles of that child you want. You seem to have the final goal in mind, how about setting yourself some minor goals along the way and then the large goal won't seem so daunting. I don't know kgs but I know lbs and I set a goal for 1 to 2 a week, with a 6lbs goal for the month. If I get over my goal I reward myself with just a few extra calories to celebrate, but not enough to take away my achievement.
Good luck. YOU CAN DO THIS!

I agree with Diane! :]
Ask yourself what results you want and why. The more important the reasons for change, the more likely it is you'll stay on track. I used to lose 'focus' regularly a few years ago because I simply wasn't ready to accept a lifestyle change. For me, I had a wake up call and have never, ever looked back. Sometimes you just need to want it enough.

I wish you the very best of luck and I hope you stay strong and positive!
