    If you have a pic of yourself at your goal weight make copies of it and put it wherever temptation lies, cabinets, fridge, your wallet (so that when you go to purchase food you remember to put the bad stuff back). I also find it helpful to buy an outfit in the size you want to be. No one likes to waste money ( or a cute outfit)

    Motivation will come and go. Start small- baby steps and change just a few things and when those become habits change a few more things. Think of it in 10 pound increments and find small rewards for every 10 pounds- ideas include manicure, pedicure, new clothes, massage, etc. Just keep going no matter what. You will have good days and bad days- just log the bad ones like the good ones and move on. Don't let one meal or even one day derail you. Don't weigh yourself the morning after a high calorie, high sodium meal- wait a day or two. Also take pictures! You will see a difference in each one (maybe take once a month). Take measurements too. You can do this. Sometimes I read the success forums for some inspiration.
