Since the birth of my first daughter, over 15 years ago, I have struggled with my weight. I always give up, but this time I just can't give up! I need to stay motivated, but find it so hard to do!

    Just don't stop. Maintain the momentum. Once you see progress, even a bit, that should drive you to want more.

    You can do it.

    I successfully lost weight in 2006 and kept it off...for a while. It slowly crept back on me. But I have the same resolve...I am not giving up. Thing of all the reasons that you need to do this, and it will motivate you! That's what works for me!

    I'm right there with you, struggling away. I still have "bad" days (*cough-today-cough*...*cough-yesterday-cough*), but I'm determined this time that one slip will not be worth throwing in the towel.

    Tomorrow is another day.

    Stay strong...we'll get this done :)

    I've been over weight my entire life. I don't know what a thin me looks like. This is what keeps me motivated. You just have to find something inside that makes you want to strive. You can do it - I know you can because I'm doing it and if I can do it, anyone can!

    You will find a tremendous amount of support here. Ladies and men who are walking in your same shoes, but are digging deep to follow through and stay committed. Wow! Your commitment began when you decided to sign up with MFP and it continued when you posted this post!

    Stay strong, endure.... your reward is closer than you think!

    You can do this!

    I've been struggling the past month in anticipation of taking my daughter to her first year of college on Friday ... I am fighting with everything I've got to not give up. This time I know I can do it because I don't want to do it again. If you want, add me as a friend and we can fight the fight together!

    You can do this girl! I love you and plan on sticking by you every step of the way. Tonight showed that you are serious you just can't give up. We can AND will do this together. Just think how hot we're going to be by Christmas, that will be a nice present for the husbands. :love:
