Need motivation!!

Hi! I thought this was a great group to join!! We are not getting older; we are getting better. I will be 74 years young tomorrow. I have been on my weight loss journey all my life. Seriously since about the 5th grade my doctor put me on a diet because of weight gain. i was sick and took a lot of meds. So again, I am losing weight. Sometimes I just get to the point of I don't care. So tired of the struggle. I need lots of motivation so I can continue to lose weight. I have tried MFP before, and it helped so here I am again!

    Welcome back! I'm 75, gained weight at 30 yrs old, didn't try to lose until 45-50. Still trying. I've lost about 90 pounds and still have 10-20 to go. I haven't lost any in almost a year. So I understand your lack of motivation. I can't believe I've come this far just to quit.
    Let's get our act together and do this!
