    Hey :) i also joined just 2 weeks ago. i've got this folder on my laptop full of my goal pics, healthy foods or quotes that i like, basically anything that's motivating, whether it be pics or music. Looking at before and after pics online keeps me motivated as well :smiley:

    Thanks for the tips! Im the same a bit! I have inspirational quotes written down! How do I prevent binge eating and eating healthy without quitting after a week or so ?

    put a pic up of yourself as you are now then check back a month later and so on. Keep plenty of fruit around so that you have something to hand. :)

    Tbh it was really hard the first week, especially seeing my frds eat gd food next to me. but i always try to rmb im eatin food thts actually gd for me! (ps. doin the dukan diet, maybe u can check it out, it givs fast results and weight apparently stays off, the rules r also quite flexible) starting smt new is gd coz u alwys feel motivated at first, and losing loads of weight right away makes u wn keep going! (the weight loss slows down ofc but i still reccomend it!

    I like the one about putting up a photograph of me now. This is definitely a good motivator...I don't have many photo of me now... Will take one. Thanks for the great motivational tip
