What happened? I just cant keep motivated...

I've also been struggling to lose weight andthe advice about taking a break sounds good. Perhaps for 2 weeks then start again.

I can't stay motivated either! I have started and re-started to lose weight for two years now. I can't help it! Any advice is welcome

I think motivation is important. I would try to see if working out with friends will help. Also, you should always have a day during the week or at least one meal that you splurge a bit. You shouldnt try and stick with the same ol all the time.

I think of it like summer vacation. When you're in school, you get into a routine and it becomes part of your day-to-day life without giving it much thought. Then you go on summer break, and when you start school again, there's that initial feeling of, "Ugh. I don't have time for all this. I want to keep playing video games in my pajamas." Eventually, though, you keep going because you have to, and before you know it, it's routine again.

I get into slumps sometimes, and the only way to pull myself out is to make myself start exercising and eating right again until it becomes habit.

It can be hard to get motivated and stay motivated. The thing that works for me is that I schedule it in to my day. It's on my wall calendar. I know what workout I'm doing when I get home. It's not a hem and haw about it. It's a "I've got it on my calendar so I'd better do it". Plus I use a non-food reward everyday. You can give yourself a checkmark, or something similar. I use funny or cool stickers (hahah- primary teacher here). It works for me. It's scheduled and it's also a visual reminder that I want that sticker, I don't want a blank day on my calendar. Even my rest days are scheduled. Now, you can go further and give yourself a non-food reward after x number of stickers, which is also cook to do, or trade every sticker for $1 that you can use guilt free on any 'thing' not food. Now, I'm not anal about this. If I miss a day because of scheduling conflicts or don't have enough time to complete the workout in the time I have, I'll cross out the workout and put in a new one. If I miss a day because I'm sick, I write "SICK" across it, so that again, from across the room, I can see it. Then I make up that workout at a later time.

I'm rambling now.

The point is, find something that will make you proud to exercise. Nail a pair of goal jeans to the wall, take a pic of yourself naked and tape it to the fridge, put a bead in a jar....

but do it!

Have you thought about trying to work out in the morning? Or is there a gym around that you could do some fun zumba class or something? Good luck and dont give up! You can do it!!!
