How do you stay motivated?

I find it hard for me to stay motivated in losing my extra pounds. What motivates me is looking forward to being able to play with my boys without running out of energy 2 minutes later....looking at old pictures of myself also motivates me to shed these excess lbs....I was 123 before, I can be 123 again (not that I want to be that small) I let the young me motivate the older me. It seems to work.

I just joined - now we have three members from three different decades! (But not to worry about this "old gal" ; as you can see by my photo - I am very young-at-heart.

A common trait of us Libras!

Have either of you turned on a Weight Lost So Far ticker? It shows you at a glance how far you've come since joining MFP, and that in itself can be very motivating.

Take a look at other things I've posted - which happen to be in General Motivation threads. Maybe you will find something that speaks to you.

Please friend me - I look forward to sharing with both of you. Once we start sharing what each of us is actually doing well or having probems with - we can get this group rolling!

FYI - Today is my 15th day in a row for signing in - and also the 15th day since I joined.
