    I think about my kids and think about how unhappy I am and I dont like the way people look at me.... All of this keeps me going everyday....

    I would go back and read your profile, inspirations etc. think about why you want to lose the weight.

    sometimes I go take off my shirt and look in the mirror...that usually re-motivates me pretty quick,.

    everyone stumbles...brush yourself off - and go hit the gym! get going.... :happy:

    i give myself small goals, like, every 10 to 15 lbs i drop i get a new pair of workout pants or new purse or something. that helps me a lot

    so far I try to log EVERYTHING! I join challenges to keep me motivated. and on that one day i don't do so good (usually saturdays when we have people over) I try not to let it get me down. I pick myself back up and forget it ever happened. I go to the gym only sometimes, like whe i need alone time. The other days work out at home :)

    Have a friend on the site or maybe facebook message you to go to the gym. That may help, it'll be like an alarm clock of sorts. Text message works fine too, lol.

    I'm with ya. I'd rather lay in bed and watch tv, than get on the treadmill and watch tv. lol Do you have any friends that you can talk in to working out with you? Even if you're just walking around town or something.

    yeah i have a friend whose on the site aswell, may ask her to start pestering me about how im doing.

    i have a friend who is a great motivation but sometimes i feel hes judging me ifi say im blowing off the gym, which he is but i guess its a good thing because it makes me feel really bad for not going .

    i keep thinking about my wedding dress fitting in june and the fact i need the weight of by then, i could probably lose alot more than i am doing if i went to the gym, or cut back on takeaways (13 this month alone :S) but i have managed to lose half a stone in the past 4 and a bit weeks.
    Brush yourself off, and set a mini goal and aim straight for it, good luck
