    You sound a lot like me. I've recently started working out and living a healthier lifestyle but before I swear to you, it felt like I tried dieting through my whole life. I never really realized how unhealthy I was being until my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and said my triglycerides were triple the amount of the average person. It takes a lot of hard to work to stay away from fast foods, considering I used to basically live off of McDonald's and Burger King. I also play video games ALL THE TIME. I would rather play them then go for a walk, trust me. But once I actually start walking, I feel 10x better. I haven't touched any fried food or soda for almost two months, and I feel so accomplished. If I can do it, you can definitely do it. You just gotta keep trying! You can do it! Good luck!

    This will be my third time trying to lose weight. Other things kept getting in the way (like school, sleeping in, video games, Taco Bell...) and I keep giving up. Now I've graduated college, moving into my own apartment, and I need motivation. I'm ready to start the next adventure in my life, hopefully about 30 pounds lighter. I need some friends on here to help me out!

    I realise this has probably been suggested to you before, but you have tried HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)?

    I also need motivation. This is my second time doing myfitness pal. I have been keeping a better track of what I eat and loggin them in. I am a stay at home mom and going to attend college. Since I started this program, I gained 3 to 4 lbs. Wow!!! That's what I thought. No wonder I felt bigger and heavier. I try to do some work outs; like sit ups and some cardio. I just need some motivation. I know it's not easy for me, so I am asking for any advice that you have to offer. Thank you!

    It appears your problem is in the sentence: "I try to do some workouts; like sit ups and some cardio." That sounds to me like you aren't being consistent . I found I needed to run 3 times a week and get serious cardio before I saw the results...and, it took a couple of months doing that before I saw much. But, then, it started coming off so fast I was flabbergasted. So, I suggest you schedule yourself some exercise time 3 - 5 days a week and stick to it.
