Needing to lose 70 pounds and not getting much support at home so trying to motivate myself is harder then I thought it would be. How do you find motivation?

Don't look for motivation. If you want to lose weight, just start to eat smaller portions of food. And contiue doing that.

I have created a little bar graph for myself from my current weight to a goal I want to reach. If you want to lose 70, maybe start with 10 or 20 lbs. As you lose each lb, color in that block or draw a line through it, acknowledge the loss somehow. When you've filled in the chart, you've lost that much weight and achieved your short-term goal! Also, keep in mind that there are other ways to measure your success, such as clothing sizes, exercise achievements and improvements, overall feeling of wellness, etc. You can do this! Good luck!

Like kommodevaran said. Don't treat it as something you "might" do, treat it as something you WILL do no matter what. Motivation might get you started but discipline, hard effort and willpower is what it's going to take to get there.

My goal is to simply fit certain clothes I wake up and look at myself and look at the weight I've lost and that's what keeps me motivated
