Step one... Walk to nearest mirror
Step two... Look in mirror and ask yourself what it is you want
Step three... sit down and write out all the steps to get there.

Step three... Take pictures! A step I wish I would have included in my journey.
Step four... sit down and write out all the steps to get there.

Oh my gosh, yes. I'm still kicking myself for avoiding the camera at my heaviest weight. In the couple of pictures I do have, I'm sitting down with stuff covering my lap or hiding behind someone. I didn't start taking progress pictures until I'd lost 15 pounds.

I have ONE before picture that was taken while on vacation and don't have a single DURING picture. I love seeing the success stories that share their journey with multiple pictures.

Follow these steps carefully. Do not tell anybody else. Do not ask them about their opinion. It's irrelevant. I don't care if it's your boyfriend, girlfriend, cat, dog, mom, goldfish, stuffed aardvark. They cannot give you what you need.

MFP friends may cheer you on as may all the objects mentioned at beginning of my OP, but the fact is if you don't have the fire and the desire yourself you won't succeed. You and you alone need to motivate yourself. This is the difference between those with results and those who make excuses.

I agree with most of this except the above. I really do need the motivation of my friends here. Sometimes I'm ready to go home, drink a glass of wine and do nothing. I can put a shout out for motivation and my friends will give me that push to go work out. Some days I really do need outside motivation.

You're a bully. I can't look in a mirror because I've got eyeball bifida and you don't know what it's like to live with a controlling mom!

LOVE this. So many people want and cry for motivation and support from others, we can only help so much. If you don't have the will and desire within yourself, we cannot help you.

The only thing holding me back is keeping the police from arresting me until the robbery statute has expired.

Goal setting, do it often. Take pictures too. You will want to see where you came from.
