My goal was 145 and at 152 the pandemic hit and now I am at 159 but I did hit 163 🤦🏻‍♀️I was soooo close and I let my food get away from me and I am discouraged. I need some motivation to get through 😭😭 this pic is for accountability

You can do this! I've been maintaining for almost 7 years. I gained 15 pounds (still at BMI 23 - I'm tall) during the last year. For me, walking is key. I have been walking my Covid puppy an hour a day for the last two months and have lost 10 of those pounds.

Every single day is a new start. Recommit. You can do it.

Why did you want to start losing weight in the first place? What was your motivation then? Have those goals/reasons changed?

There are thousands of members on this site and they probably all have different reasons and motivations, some of them may have slight differences and some might be polar opposites, but every person is unique and so are their motivations.

You have to figure out what YOUR reasons are. If they are powerful enough then they will motivate you through, regardless of lockdown or not. The quarantine has actually given me MORE time to focus on my diet and fitness goals so this has all been a blessing and made it easier for me.

Just take it one day, one meal, at a time. You can do it!

Motivation is only what starts the process. After that, what you need is habits that support your goals and a little self discipline.

I gained about 13 pounds in the past 8 months. I started losing weight in January as I just needed to log and count and do what works and stop gaining! I’ve lost 12 pounds and have one to go. My motivation? Enough already- I know how to do this, and have no excuse. The key- no more drinking. That’s tripped me up before and it’s either wine and weight, or no wine and trim and fit. Not much choice there, for me. (Even when I log the wine I derail too easily and too often, and stop logging).
