Hi Everyone,

I'm a 48 year old male who's been at this for 5 months and have lost 50 lbs so far. That puts me half way. The second half looks to be a lot harder than the first half so I'm looking for people on the way and who have done it.

Thanks.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. So far I've had 4 things to drive me. They are:

    1. Doing this with my wife. She started and working towards this goal with another person is a help.

    2. Encouragement from my kids, especially my teenage daughters. I could see they worried when I was at my peak and I can see they're happier with the improvement I've made. Find someone to keep your spirits up.

    3. Seeing other people around me that have had any level of success. There were so many of my friends and coworkers that saw having success that I told myself if they can do it then so can I.

    4. Tired of the depression caused by poor sef image. I still struggle with this, but I know it's getting better. Look for victories!

    I'd like to hear what other people's drivers are. Any offers?
