Hello I’m the type of person that is really motivated for a week and then I fall in the crack. I’ve been doing my fitness pal free since October. At beginning I was tracking meals and weight. But I kept forgetting g to put meals in if I didn’t plan what I was eating in the morning for the day and then I was just tracking my weight on my free fitness pal. Today I said I’m starting to track everything but I don’t want to fall back out of it. I had lost 40lbs but gain 10lbs back I need to start and stay motivated. My best friend lives next door so she motivates me to walk, but I can’t at the moment as I had an injection in my knee 1 week ago so can’t walk right now. Please help on what to do to stay motivated and tracking on my fitness pal

Every meal, every mouthful, pick up your device and enter it in the diary. Every. Single. Time...
- What do you really care about? What are your main issues? How do you spend your time?
- What do you wish you cared about? (not just weight/level-of-fitness, probably)
- How does your health figure into your bigger life goals?
If you can figure out what you want to do in life, you can act to achieve it. Health and fitness are generally helpful for accomplishing almost any life goal, but that doesn't make them a very interesting goals in and of themselves.
So, go find something worth being healthy for.
Best of luck!

As for exercise, I usually don't like to start my walking routine (currently walk 90 mins 2 times a day) but by the time I'm done I feel great because of the accomplishment. Lol, also once you've walked far enough away from home, you still have to get back.
