    My opinion is that strangers on the internet can’t really motivate you. If looking on the mirror and not liking what you see doesn’t motivate you, then me telling you good job for losing a half a pound is not going to do much. Discipline over motivation. Consistency over perfection. Good luck on your journey🤘🏼

    Dear good sir, no other man can motivate you enough, but let me share my point of view:

    I think it will be super awesome if you're known as 'that man who is 50 but looks like a Hollywood action movie star'.

    Do you want to be that man? If so, you don't need motivation, you just need to consistently do what it takes. :)

    I found a "before" honest photo is great motivation, Take a full front and side with only underwear on. Look at it once or twice a day. I did that.. and it worked like a charm. Good luck to you.. you can get that off.

    I find it has helped so far./../publicly 'shaming' myself with how I currently look - I think i look like the left photo, but I need to accept I am the right!
