    I respect everyone that says motivation needs to come from within, but for me, having other people keep me in check is where my motivation comes from - as I HATE letting others down, but routinely, without issue, let myself down.

    Try making a pact with someone on here? certain number of pounds gone or something similar?

    For me my partner promised me things that I have been wanting forever once I get to my goal weight, which keeps me going, I also don't want to let him down.

    Find what makes you tick, and use it to help you :-)

    everything you've mentioned walking more ect doesn't mention strength training.
    even body weight exercises at home, or with dumb bells, easy to take with you when you move.
    tons of routines, full body workout done in 30 x 3 a week done.

    eat 100g protein, keep a reasonable deficit for your bf, and strength training. done.

    I'm doing the same, sometimes i do cardio, sometimes not.
    sometimes i'm eating healthy, sometimes not.
    but usually have the deficit, and do all the other stuff.
    lost tons of inches considering i've only been doing this about a month
    i'm much bigger than you, but i really think you need to simplify your approach.
    plus with all the exercise you'll be getting with moving, packing so on
    you shouldn't need a lot of extra exercise other than wt training.
    just keep your deficit you should be fine.

    i will do enough strength training when i am back home. i was professional volleyball player before i came here, and i will do this again once i am back home.

    Oh where are you moving too? We moved from Ireland to Australia 1.5 years ago(wow how quick that has gone) moving was a great thing for us. It is like you get to start your life all over again. We made sure health was a big part of that. Joined classes to meet new friends and I have lost nearly 40 pounds and my boyfriend over 50 pounds. You can do this. Just get into a routine and there will be no stopping you. Don't over think it just do it.

    Good luck.:smile:

    i came from germany 3 years ago, now its time to go back where i am from ;)
    my moving isnt that easy, i have to leave my boyfriend behind!
