    I'm not so good at motivating others. I'm still working on keeping myself motivated. :-)

    What are your current stats and goals?

    I find it more motivating to find MFP friends with similar weight loss goals or similar body types, since a short person with 100 pounds to lose has a different struggle than a person like me on the taller side with 30 pounds to lose.

    A Buddhist goes up to a hot dog vendor and the hot dog vendor says, "What will you have?" and the Buddhist says, "Make me one with everything." The vendor charges him $3.50 so the Buddhist gives him $5, but the vendor doesn't give him anything back. The Buddhist says, "Hey, what about my change?" and the vendor says, "Change comes from within."


    The reason I posted this joke (other than I dig dry humor) is motivation, like change only comes from within. If you have to rely on others to motivate you, then you have not truly committed to making a change in your life. Once you truly commit to change, you will acheive success and it will be your success, not someone elses. I warn you, the race is long, and in the end it is only with yourself. You must choose to cross that finish line. You can not rely on a "team" of people to pull you across it.

    Good Luck!

    I'm in a serious demotivated slump right now. I feel like I have notime for exercise (part of that is laziness Im sure, the rest is life getting in the way) Maybe we can kick each others butts?

    The only person who can do anything about you being overweight is you. So, start eating right, drinking water and exercising!
    Is that the kind of motivation you were looking for? Hope it helped!
