Needing motivation

Hello,
I've tried MFP a few times but seem to lose motivation. My weight has never been stable, it's been a roller coaster my entire life. I dont seem to have support from anyone in my life so thought maybe I could make friends and support on here. :)
I'm starting today and plan to weigh in every Wednesday, plus I just signed up at the gym so plan to go almost everyday. Does anyone else need the extra motivation?

My current weight is 142 and my goal is 120. I know its not a lot but its really difficult for me to get motivated and stay motivated.

June 17/20 - 142 lbs

Stay safe and happy!!!!
Sheri

    Definitely need motivation. I used to be in sports. I was competitive. Now I'm just tired. I started back up with dance fitness today. Trick myself into exercise. It worked though. Best of luck.

    I came here for the same reason. Just no motivation right now. Things are just so nutty. Walking, interval jogging and some weight resistance are my goals for exercise. I have been walking, but not every day as I had hoped. Hoping to get a pool installed this year as well. I am from CT. How about you all?

    I definitely need the motivation. I am starting over again. It’s been a challenge to get started, but I know I need to commit to myself. I desire to lose about 30lbs. My plan for now is to meet my daily step goals and exercise at least 4 times a week.

    Hello there! -also needing to keep up motivation. Quarantine was not good for my waistline, so now I'm looking to lose about 20 lbs for my first milestone, then another 30 after that. We can do this!

    Even though I am quite big with a lot of weight to lose right now, I have also been smaller with that 20 that will not go. I understand both ends. It’s actually more difficult when you are smaller than at the size I am now I think but we all need to support each other and I have a long road ahead.

    I'm needing motivation. Lockdown has not been good at all, my son is refusing to leave the house making it difficult to get any steps in 🤦‍♀️
