    One of the best pieces of advice that I've ever read on these forums went something like this: It's not motivation, but determination, that will get you to your goal. I'm reminded of that again reading this.

    excellent post

    must admit im one of those annoying people who over the last 20 years have been "motivated" many times into losing weight, the "motivation" lasted at best a month, it was only 2 years ago that i admitted defeat, realised i had to change my way of thinking before it was to late. when i've got the motivation to do something that's great, when i haven't i still do it anyway, half the battle with my weight loss and fitness is in my own head trying to talk myself out of doing things because i'm not strong enough, or telling myself that what i was eating isn't so bad, once i gained some self discipline it got easier

    motivation got me nowhere, sheer determination did
