Can't seem to stay motivated

Remember this you will probably get better grades and be able to focus better if you spend some time every day being active.

For me, sites like this. And my best friend, who also has this app. Even when I go WAY over what I should or have a bad food day I think of how easily I could have done better and try to pass that on the following days.

I gained a bunch of weight at the end of college because I wasn't in sports anymore and just walking a lot more often was a huge help. And cutting down on soda almost completely.

i love this site, and fitspo people on tumblr and instagram! and facebook too! best of luck on your college journey

I just do it. Don't think, don't "try", just DO. Everyday, no excuses.

This. There is no "motivation" for me. I decided I wanted to live a healthy lifestyle, so I just do it. No excuses. I can only imagine how my life would be if I only did things I felt "motivated" to do. What if I only paid bills when it sounded better than sitting on the couch? What if I only went grocery shopping when I was excited about cooking? What if I only went to work when I woke up energized?

Well, if you're in college you can always do intramurels and in the summer there are always bar leagues of everything from bean bags to softball.

To me nothing works as much as staying/becoming motivated to be attractive to oneself and to person we love.
And also, once I saw a fitness motivator on web: "To be able to wear whatever the f**k I want"

My initial motivation was my health. Never really cared about how I looked, felt fitness wise, or what the number on the scale said. I was almost 500 lbs for most of my 20's. In my late 20's I discovered I had type II diabetes and that was finally triggered it for me to change. I had to take 6 different medications to control it along with high blood pressure and cholesterol. 3 years later and 200 lbs less, I don't need to take take medications anymore since I no longer have the diabetes or the other stuff. I look and feel better. My current motivation is to stay diabetes and meds free. I also am noticing I can wear nicer clothes that I couldn't wear before. Also attention from the opposite sex is a nice bonus. In the past it was non-exsistent.

I honestly cannot stay motivated either.

Many people will think this is hokey but...I have gone to a psychic and MORE THAN ONCE she has told me during different random reads that I need to get control of my weight. With her as my biggest support and the support of friends and family I am attempting this journey again… There are two people right now in my life that are my biggest motivators when it comes to this diet I am on, one is doing it too, and so far that has helped me from cracking. I nearly gave up today because I was suffering from cravings and I was nearly in tears. But with their help they aided me through this process.

I will be honest with you, I still lack the motivation. I have been on MFP for years. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes I fall off the horse. I always seem to come back though. I know it is hard to find motivation to keep on the drive, I hope that, if you want, add me to your friends list and we can go through this journey together. Through the hard times and the good times. I am always there to listen.
