I need some serious motivation. I'm down 17lbs and so close to 20 I can taste it, but I'm back to sabotaging myself. Today is the first day in like a week that I'm doing good --- help me stay on track! Show me some result photos so I can dream about what I'll look like in a bathing suit this summer. Or else, I'm bound to stop at Carl's Jr on the way home.

    You've come so far, don't you dare mess up now! You look like a new woman and so much happier. Keep going for just a few more weeks and it'll become normal. You'll wonder how you ever lived any other way. You deserve to care about yourself and make yourself, your health and your happiness a priority.

    Thanks so much ladies!!!!! Motivation helped - lost lbs (at least the three I'd put on from being bad for a week). Super inspired.

    Wow. I do not see that much difference in myself after 17lbs. My jeans feel a little looser, but I can't see it.

    what is your total weight loss goal? My total goal is less than 50lbs so if you have a much higher goal that could be why. But also, I don't think I really noticed the difference in myself the last time I lost weight until I was pretty much done losing weight. If you aren't looking at old pics of yourself then you are basically just used to the way you've seen yourself every day and you won't notice a change that way. Although this time around i'm also lifting weights so I'm seeing far more change in body composition as well, which could reflect the more noticeable weight change for myself

    That "before" pic is me at my absolute highest weight ever - about 30 lbs up from my MFP starting weight. So about 225 lbs more than I weigh now.


    You can do this, girlie!

    50 to start, but 80 total. I'll try to go through my old photos, that's a good idea. :)

    Also trying on old clothes throughout weight loss is helpful, I've been able to fit into a lot of my old clothes lately and it really emphasizes that I HAVE lost even if I still feel a bit heavy!
