    How have you stayed motivated to lose weight if you don't have a significant other backing you up?

    dude, some SO or BF/GF doest really support you in these journeys and u need to do it your self, even your family wont, it is all by ur self. live with it :)

    I stayed motivated because I am single.
    Being single is motivation enough for me :p

    Love it :p

    I'm not single.. but I am separated from my husband right now. Getting a divorce soon. And I have my eye on someone else... but not til I get the divorce.. for me it's just about being healthier for myself and my kids... and feeling better about the way I look :)

    Because me being healthier and fit isn't about an SO..it's about me.

    ^^^ THIS

    Plus, it's easier to stay fit when you're single. No compromises with the meals, and the schedule is a little more open allowing more time to hit the gym or trails.

    I second this one.

    @topic - Well back when I was in a relationship, GF wanted more of a teddy bear BF that she could snuggle around which I was back at 170lbs. Now its kinda easier doing this since you won't be eating out that much to go on a date or something.

    How have you stayed motivated to lose weight if you don't have a significant other backing you up?

    Cause I do it for myself. I still have friends, family(sometimes,) there for me when I need em. I also got MFP. I mean who needs a girl. Right? RIGHT??!?

    I think being single actually motivates me more. It makes me want to lose more weight and finally be seen for the person I really am, and not my body type.

    You don't need a significant other to stay motivated. Your motivation needs to come from within. Being in a relationship doesn't necessarily make it easier, either. I see sooo many posts on here where people who are trying to lose weight, are having a hard time because their SO isn't supportive enough, their SO is bringing them down, their SO is sabotaging them, their SO doesn't understand, etc. etc. Having a significant other doesn't necessarily make weight loss better or worse. It depends on the person, but more importantly, it depends on you. It's all about your choices, and your drive. You need to find the strength within yourself, you don't need anyone else to be strong for you.

    Agreed. I see it as removing a barrier.
