I NEED SOME MASSIVE MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT PLEASE.

my main motivation is just from myself. i hate the way i feel when i don't exercise and eat unhealthy. i mean, i do love sweets and i treat myself here and there, but if i'm not eating at least two healthy meals every day i feel awful and lethargic. and when i go a few days without exercising i just feel sick and slow. being healthy and fit is the best feeling and sometimes you just have to really push yourself. sometimes i just want to sit in bed and watch a movie, but when i finally make myself get up and even just go for a quick 2 mile run i never ever regret it!! and coming home to shower and crawl in bed to watch that movie feels so much better.

i think living in florida helps because it's so incredibly hot in the summer and i don't want to feel uncomfortable wearing shorts and little skirts and sundresses and tank tops. i feel so much more confident when i know i've been working out and have lost a bit of weight, ya know?

I also suggest taking a look at some fitspo blogs! not thinspo, because that could encourage really unhealthy behavior, and trust me i've dealt with eating disorders for 8 years in my past. and i feel 20000x better now that i've recovered. but check out fitspo because it's super motivating!!!!

i believe in you, i know you can do it! everyone here supports you and is cheering for you!

Why do you currently feel the way you do when you have successfully lost 3kg? Which is great progress so far btw and great work! Are you afraid to actually succeed? You can do this, to me it sounds like self sabotage and you are singing to the chior on that one with me. Stick with it, you can do this. Do what is sustainable, figure out what works for you. If you think your cals are too low change your weekly goal to a half pound per week less and increase your cals. You want to make a change, the tools are right in front of you. You CAN do it! Don't beat yourself up if you have an "off" day. Celebrate your small victories. To me every pound lost or every time I exercise is a victory. Keep it up and give yourself the credit you deserve.

Well, I tell you what, I weight 220 pounds now, lost 10 pounds this month, and the way I did it was eat healthy, but I did it in a smart way, I love chicken, so I just grill it in a george foreman, if you don't have one, then you can bake it, so tastey, and if you grill chicken, you can eat more than 1, as it has no carbs and very low in fat, and not a whole lot of calories, if you like green beans you can eat a whole can, considering it's healthy. But if you like veggies, mix it up. My mom lost 35 pounds in like 2 and a half months just eating the same things everyday (which can be boring), and that was grilled chicken and green beans for every meal. Find meals that you enjoy, and make them healthy.

example, if you like cheeseburgers, make them this way, 100 percent whole wheat bread, or 100 percent sugar free whole wheat bread, and either fry turkey burgers in olive oil, gives it a nice flavor, or grill it, get some low fat mozarella cheese to sprinkle on it, if you like spinach, put raw spinach on it in place of lettuce, a tomato, and an onion, and just make some greens or green beans for the side, makes an awesome meal. As for treats, find some healthier options, I love the fiber one caramel nut protein bars, pretty healthy, but still tastes like I'm cheating ;p. But do include fruits for atleast 1 to 2 meals of the day unless your looking for no sugar or starch at all. Fruit before 2pm has been working the best for me.

So my motivation, is find the foods you enjoy, and just make them healthier, if you still eat what you like, but in a healthier manner, you will keep motivated, and it's ok to have a cheat meal once or twice a week.

this may have not been the best motivational reply, but this is what motivates me for the dieting. I got to the point I'd rather have green beans, spinach, kale, etc, rather than fries and mashed potatoes. If you enjoy pop, it wont hurt to have a can a day with your favorite healthy meal of the day, although water and green tea would be the best.

Other people and their stories and support can inspire you to a point, but ultimately you have to be your own motivation. Decide that you want it badly enough to stick with a plan....and perhaps spend some more time thinking of what exactly will be sustainable for you. Maybe make little cut backs/cut outs in your life at a time, slowly increase exercise, whatever it takes so that it can be something you'll keep up with.
