    Only you can motivate yourself, but the nice people here can help give you advice on how to create a strategy that will work for you. But you have to do the thinking and planning for yourself. Do you really want this? Start with small changes, be patient, and stick with it.

    Slow and steady wins the race don't get discouraged I gained seven lbs when I started and only make one change at a time so you can stick with it small goals are easier 10 minutes on the treadmill and work your way up replace bad behaviors with good ones good luck

    Hey buddy, good effort starting out. It's always really hard. The only motivation you need is to keep your eye on what you want. You just told the forum you want to lose 120lbs, so whatever your motivation was that lead you to post that, should be the overruling factor. The most sensible way to achieve that would be to set some mini goals, that could be making small changes in your diet such as eating a healthy breakfast only for one month and training once a week. Then once you can manage that increase it to a healthy lunch and working out twice a week. Small changes over time are what leads to success. As for weight loss goals you shouldn't aim to lose more than 1-2lbs a week meaning you have 60 weeks or just over a year to do it. It may seem.like a lifetime away but it really isn't. If you need away ny help with your training just shout. good luck

    Hi Yusel. I need to loose 80 to 90 pounds, so you see you're not alone. If you need support, send out an SOS. You should look up a few diet choices on the Internet, see what you think you can stick with.

    You could probably eat more if you're feeling hungry. I am 5' 11" and started at 320. I started out eating about 2500 calories or more depending on exercise. If you cut too far you run the risk of binging. I'm at 230 now and am losing on 2150 cals a day with just walking a fair amount.

    Just don't give up!!!! If you have a bad day, try again! That is my best advice. Also, have some non counting days...helps keep me focused for 85% of the time.

    I started with a challenge. 20 days 20 minutes of movement everyday for 20 days. Not to hard to do. Good luck
