I think you need to answer the question Why... meaning why do you want to work out and lose weight and get healthy. Once you figure that out, I think you'll find out why you're losing motivation. Truthfully, maybe you just don't really want it for the right reasons or want it bad enough yet. That was it for me, It took me getting to a certain point before I was truly motivated. I had tried to lose weight before, but I just didn't want it bad enough, once something clicked I didn't have to search for motivation anymore... I just did what I need to do to get where I wanted to be.

First of all, as a student, you should make sure you are getting enough sleep and some down time for yourself. You will be in a much better place to think about your food and exercise. It's tough when you are going to school. Focus on being healthy as a whole...which includes getting plenty of sleep, drinking enough water, eating healthy food, exercise, healthy relationships, downtime, etc.

I've actually been feeling the same way. I have not been on here for 2 weeks because I was losing my motivation until I ran my 3rd 5K on Sunday. It made me realize that I love working out etc.. I get it!! If it wasn't for me and my son running the 5K together I'm sure my motivation would still be gone, and I probably would not have worked out today. Motivators need to stick together if that makes sense. You can do it! Just stick to it!!

I agree with everything said above, you can do this, but only if you want it bad enough
