    Motivation is awesome!

    But motivation fades. One day, probably a day not too far off, you will have zero motivation. There's nothing you can do about that.

    At that moment it's important to have discipline. You need to have the discipline to do it anyway even though you don't want to that day. No amount of "motivation" or pumping up will make you WANT to do it.

    Agree! You can add me and I will support you during those times and I need all the support I can get because I am not always "motivated".

    this is true, if you are not up for it, no one can make you but what I have found for myself is that having MFP helps me stick to a good routine and I can chat to people about the ups and downs. We have a few friends that do mini challenges but if you can find some older MFP users, they know what it is to make it for the long hull, such as jonnythan. There is none of this honeymoon mucking around with these guys and they are great mentors.
