Hi all! I’m 39 and live in Connecticut. I would love to find some new friends that we can help keep each other motivated! I have really bad will power and self motivation lol. Anyone interested??

    Welcome!

    Instead of relying on willpower and motivation, try to build good habits. Willpower will disappear from time to time. Motivation will leave you cold in a dark alley. Instead, make the commitment to stick to it, and build good habits you'll keep forever.

    People compare it to brushing your teeth. I doubt you have motivation that makes you do it, but it's just something you do because it has rewards. Sticking to your plan for weight management also has rewards!
