Anyone willing to help me and anyone else with motivation? It can be hard to motivate ourselves alone to our goals. If anyone is willing to help me to my goals then thank you. Encouragement needed!

    Motivation comes after you see results. The results motivate you. Until then you just have to do it.

    Someone wise once told me, "When you rely on a temporary emotion like motivation, you get temporary results"

    Right. But the only problem with that is motivation is not an emotion. If you look up the meaning it’s simply “the reason we do something”. I go to work - my motivation is a paycheck. I work out - my motivation is to lose weight and get healthier. We ALL do things due to being driven by some motivating factor. We don’t do something for nothing. Before someone can see results, something else has to motivate them to work hard enough to see those results.

    I'll support you. I am just beginning this journey again myself. I had 74 pounds to lose and I've already lost 10 in the first month. Lets do this.

    I’m with you!! I’ve been using MFP for a few years, but I’m new to trying the community tab. I feel like I Yo-yo diet like crazy. I’ve been to my goal weight, and here I am almost at my starting point again. I need the motivation and accountability. Add me, and we can all help each other!!
