I need all the motivation I can get while I work towards my goal of losing my jiggle giggle train right now my goal is between 50-80 total and I know I can do this. My goal is to watch what I eat and drink water and exercise every day and try and not cheat that has been my biggest thing and carbs, plus temptations at home as my husband and I live with his mom as she's disabled and she doesn't want to eat good so it's going to be very hard for me.

Remember this is your goal, not anyone elses. You are doing this for you! Also, don't restrict yourself too much. It's too hard to continue long term. I honestly lost the weight SO SLOW this time because we'd go out and still enjoy our lives, but I did it and I've kept it off. My maintenace and my "diet" aren't very much different. I can do this forever and not feel like I'm missing out.5

I agree with mamakatspok dont restrict yourself too much. I lost 135lbs this time I just focused on losing 10lbs at a time and instead of telling myself I can't have this or that I made a list of all the things I loved that were lower calorie foods watermelon,artichokes,thai food, I started eating tacos instead of burritos, pea crisps instead of chips. And I still snacked I just snacked on different things. If there was something I really wanted I made it fit in my calories. You got this, you can still make things that your mother in law will like that won't blow your diet....1
