    I am 54 years old with 70 pounds to lose. For more years then I care to admit, I start over every morning. And by the end of the day, I am disappointed in myself. How is it that I can't get this figured out? I am a smart person. Maybe with the motivation from all of you, I will realize that people are actually doing it - they are losing weight. I am not alone in this weight battle.

    I'm going to add you as a friend! Honestly, when I feel like I'm going to cheat or skip out on the gym. I look at all the progress my friends are making and decide it's not worth it. We can do it!

    Yes it's possible and lots of people here are doing it. Me- started 14 mo ago at age 59 and have lost about 100 lb to date. But we can't "motivate" you. You have to want it badly enough yourself to make the changes and follow the plan needed to reach your goals.

    I am in the same boat, I have 145 pounds to lose and this is my first week. The mountain to climb looks so big but I can't wait for the view from the top! You can do it! If you bite it, write it!

    Hey that is a great way to put it, hadn't thought of that. Of course we can all do it! I'm on day two and plan to be here for the entire journey and afterwards to pass on anything and everything I can learn along the way to make it easier on someone else. Well it won't be easy for them but it will definitely be worth the journey! Remember to drink you WATER! And remember when you sweat during exercise that it is just your FAT Crying. LOL Great Job everyone!

    Even if you only lose one pound a month, it's better than gaining two pounds a month. Be patient, and the little differences will start rewarding you.

    Only YOU can motivate yourself. You can do it by reading success stories from others, or by seeing people work out hard in the gym, but in the end, the only person who can truly motivate you is YOU.

    I also find that encouraging others gives me the strength to do it myself!
