    Immediate results are not everything. As long as you know that your putting in 100% effort and doing the best you can to make a lifestyle change. DON'T GIVE UP. Your result will happen. Find something that motives you to do your best. My motivation is that I want my nose pieced once I reach the half way mark. Another way, I would say if I lost 10lbs I am going to put aside $20 for makeup or clothing. Also, DON'T compare your weight loss to someone else. You have lost 4lbs that is GREAT! Every now and then I myself loose motivated mainly when I try something on and it doesn't look right or fit.

    ********Warning......tough love follows************

    Only you can motivate yourself. Motivation, like discipline, comes from within. Others may inspire you but they can't motivate you.

    You have to decide where you want to be and what you're willing to do to get there and then actually do it. Believe it or not that is the only difference between successful people and those who just go with the flow.

    It's easier to keep on doing the same old same old. Change is hard and takes work. Are you willing to do what it takes?

    WOW, thank you so much for this! And you are so right!!! Am I willing to do what it takes....yes! Do I have the time....sometimes no! But I will try! Thanks again for the encouragement!

    Ps. This was not tough love, but the truth that needed to be heard!!!! :smile:

    I have been having the same struggle right now also. I had been doing great and then suddenly I can barely get moving to do any sort of workout and falling back into my bad habits of not thinking about what I am eating. We can do this!
