I have lost 50 lbs SO FAR. I still have a way to go. Some days I feel very unmotivated, but still doing my best. The scale has been stuck the last two weeks. I'm looking for some motivation to continue. I am one of these people that self-sabotage. Every time I get down to this weigh, I gain again. I question if I'm really worth feeling better. Anyone else do this?

    I do the same thing-- I have lost 35 pounds, last time around it was 36 then quit and regained! I think I get lazy when I start to feel better and look "pretty good" This time I'm in for the long run. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Yes, you are worth it! It's a lying voice that tells you that you aren't!

    Only YOU can decide if you are worth it. Why do you want to lose? Why do you want to NOT lose? Have you been to counseling?

    Your progress is amazing. Don't just focus on the scale, how do you feel? Just remember that self-sabotage will take you back to where you were. You have obviously worked hard to get to where you are at & YOU ARE WORTH IT!

    I definitely self sabotage. At the moment I’m trying to visualise how good it will feel to be slim for Christmas and not to feel embarrassed about photographs.

    50 lbs so far, so there is no question you know deep inside that you are worth it. No one loses 50 lbs who is not committed, determined, and "worth it"... We can all see you are a beautiful young lady in your pictures, my guess is that you are beautiful inside as well.

    Some may disagree with me but why don't you celebrate the 50 lbs gone, instead of worrying about the ten or twenty more you think you need to lose. Stop pressuring yourself and look deep into the mirror, be proud of who you are and what you have accomplished.

    If you can do that, you have already started on the next goal, being happy and feeling proud is the first step.

    Also you want to consider adding some friends from here that will proved support and encouragement, it will do you wonders.

    Good luck sunshine.....

    You've lost 50lbs so far woohoo!! you're are doing great. Don't let a temporary stall on the scales mess with your head, keep up your momentum doing what you've been doing and keep up the great work :smile:

    Let your child motivate you-I see a high chair in the photo. You want to be able to keep up as they grow. Perhaps add a 1/2 hour walk daily pushing the stroller...
