Hey guys!

Basically my story is that I have always been a bigger girl and have had a lot of health issues but I can never seen to get the motivation I need! I work out for a month or two, count a few calories and then my mood goes south and I can't bring myself to do anything but go out and find a good cheeseburger. I'd love to find out how you guys motivate yourselves!

Also please feel free to add me as a friend so I can be a motivator for you :)

    Cheeseburgers happen. It's ok.

    The important thing is to keep going, get back on track, and forgive yourself for it.

    Personally, I've found that motivation isn't what I needed. Motivation comes and goes, as does willpower. Determination and a plan to follow are what have gotten me through the last 10 months and 70 lbs.

    Hi, there is nothing wrong with having a Cheeseburger now and again, but save it as a treat! You do need some breathing space in your diet and fitness plan but if you keep everything in moderation then you will be fine. One way I feel motivated is by signing up for charity races - I then know I have to train for it... I hope this helps, and good luck!

    I find small goals help, I plan on losing just 4-6lbs a month, it's not a lot, so easily doable. Don't put to much pressure on yourself, we all have those sneaky foods, mine is pizza, eat it, enjoy it and then keep going :) it's not the end of the world.
