Need motivation

Hey! So far I have lost around 40 pounds, but for the last few months I have lacked all motivation and have gained about 5 pounds back. One of my problems is that no one around me is also trying to lose weight, so I feel like I am missing out on things if I refuse to go out to dinner with friends or family. I guess I just need to talk to some people going through the same thing as me to get that motivation back

    Why do you have to refuse to go out to dinner with friends and family?

    I too have lost 40 lbs and stalled. It's so discouraging that I am starting my old eating habits and then I feel guilty and awful. Afraid to get on the scale because I know it will be going up. Thinking about doing protein drinks twice a day and one meal, guess its feeling desperate!

    My motivation lately has been that I just can't buy any more bigger clothes. Envision your goal daily and know that you can stick to it. You can still go out with your friends and family but think of it as a challenge to stick to your diet and when you do you won't suffer the next day food hangover !
