    Get active on MFP and make some friends! There's a lot of great people on here eager to cheer you along. Definitely seems to hold me accountable if I'm not keeping up my end.

    Use MFP to the max. . No one calls you nasty names ( Fat, etc...)...... Everyone knows this is a process.... the development of a new lifestyle. You are not on a "diet."... You are creating a plan for life.... a long and healthy life.. Let people of all ages , status, and weights speak to you.... share their experiences...... You realize.. in this big world... you are not alone in this challenge. Set short term, reachable goals.... /and then treat yourself to a new hairstyle..... or smile at yourself in the mirror... .and say...... Keep going... I am going to keep at this..... I can do this..... I am beautiful on the inside... and bringing it out...... Motivate yourself.... by your strength that lies within..... and rely on some nice folks in MFP who know.... this is not easy.... Best wishes. :flowerforyou:

    Keep checking out the successes of others in the forums and also set up a ticker - when you see that moving it's a good motivator. Good luck:smile:

    Each has assigned a workout buddy that keeps you accountable for what you are doing.

    Amen to that! Also find motivating quotes and pictures. I have so much motivating stuff in my phone and in my room. I post it on FB and Instagram. Here too. It helps me self-motivate.
