I was going to come to MFP today and write a post about how discouraged I was feeling today. I went to my normal 5:30 am boot camp class, but I felt slow and like everyone around me was in better shape. I've been eating right and exercising normally, and have even been seeing results - lost 6lbs since joining MFP and 11 lbs since re-starting the weightloss. But seriously, this morning wasn't a good feeling. I felt like I wanted to give up because..just BLAH.

Then, I come into work today and the first thing our admin says is, "have you been losing weight??" When I told her yes, she said, "Well whatever you're doing is REALLY paying off - you look great!"

It's crazy how one person saying something in passing like that can change your whole outlook and motiviation. So yeah, i'm feeling pretty good now and ready to keep going!

    i completely agree. i try to compliment people all the time because you never know how their day is going and how much of an impact you'll have.

    and yes - feel free to add me as a friend. i'm happy to give (and receive :) ) motivation and encouragement!

    That's great! Sounds like you needed that today. I was feeling unmotivated, too. It was difficult going to work and seeing the three people I hang out with the most had lost 20, 25, and 28 pounds over the summer. I'm going to keep trying, though!
