    Look for weight loss challenge threads on the forums. People there check in daily. You can also find a lot of groups on here.

    Motivation is not going to get you far. It's about dedication, commitment, and setting yourself up for success by meal prepping, pre-logging, and buying nutrient dense foods.

    I guess if you're unhappy with your weight, the best motivation would to put on a sports bra and pair of yoga shorts, find a full length mirror and take a picture of yourself. Works for me when I feel like giving up. LOL, sorry if this isn't exactly what you were looking for.

    We all come to that realization that how we look and feel weight wise makes us unhappy. Now you're ready to lose the weight.

    1. You need to log all your food intake as accurate as possible.
    2. CICO - Calories In need to be less than Calories Out - eating at a deficit.
    3. Exercise. Walking is the easiest to do that is low impact.
    4. Motivation is only part of the formula. Commitment is the key. If you don't have that, the rest won't matter.

    I sent you a friend request.
