    Time to play devil's advocate - not dressing this up nicely 😈

    I was on MFP for 4 years before I took it seriously. The motivation is always within you. If you are overweight and want to lose weight you will, you just have to want it more than those doughnuts or more than sitting on your butt for hours. You have started for a reason, what was that reason, do you really want to achieve what you set out to achieve? I went through the revolution twice.

    (realise I have to lose weight -> work at it -> lose weight -> hate my lifestyle -> got back to the old ways -> put on everything I lost and more -> realise I have to lose weight).

    If you are not enjoying your lifestyle you will either go back to the old you or you need to find something that does work for you. Other people cannot give you motivation, they can only encourage you to find yours. So what do you want?

    Having validation from others is really nice, having validation from yourself is what truly matters!

    I really agree with you about the not enjoying your lifestyle part. One thing that keeps me going is how badly I feel when I stop my healthy habits. A week without a good workout... my mood drops. Over eating, too much sugar or salt... and Ive got an upset stomach, headache or feel lethargic. Makes it a lot easier to pick something healthy or to just get off my couch.

    Sorry yes! Got married over a year ago and it was time to take off the “ms”, so I refreshed it 😊

    Great job team!!

    Unfortunately I don't have any clothes that are too big that I've been holding onto, but I did go through my closet and pulled out 2 sweaters and a shirt to get rid of.

    It's a great workout :) We've had a VERY mild winter this year. It's kind of a bummer.

    It's been 10 years since we've had more than 4 inches. We got 9 last night with more on the way

    Back on track after Super Bowl Sunday. I didn't go crazy but I did eat things I shouldn't have. Took a 45 minute walk yesterday to help offset some of the extra calories. Not sure if it helped with the calories but I felt great and ready to tackle the week.
