    Yes. You can. The best motivation is intrinsic; it comes from within. When you're honest with yourself and ready to change, you will. Best of luck!:flowerforyou:

    I'm right there with you! I will have motivation for the day and then can't keep it. Convenience gets in the way. and work.... and kids....and laundry....and work....and kids.....etc.

    I second that. I do so good and then self-sabotage myself. I am working on staying motivated one day at a time! Trying to learn to live in the "right now" instead of what was or what will be. Wish me luck:)

    We can and will do this!

    Honestly, motivation comes from within you. I can't give you reasons that will necessarily motivate you and what motivates me may not mean anything to you at all. All you can do is try to remember what brought you here in the first place. If it helps, write those reasons down and post them somewhere, like your bathroom mirror, so you'll be reminded every day.

    The best motivation is to set weekly goals, to ultimately reach a long term goal. I first started with only a change in diet. Never really exercised but maybe once a week recreational basketball or something. I lost about 15 lbs on diet alone, made a big noticeable change. Then i kicked it up with exercise, running, i have a smart phone, and use myfitnesspal and mapmyrun to keep track of how much exercise i do. These little things keep me motivated, the ability to track and detail my diet and exercise really shows how it works. The daily calorie intake is a very nice feature to keep you on track to your goals.

    Starts w you, are you ready to get serious and dedicate time towards exercise and healthy choices? Set goals by the week and not any farther, reward yourself w a small gift if u meet that goal

    Think about the end result.

    I went from 90kgs to currently 58.8kgs. That should be motivation. I was at first so unmotivated! But then I discovered this site.

    Try promise yourself to login every day, that will help and keep logging your food. And be consistent with the healthy eating. But have a little treat every now and then. As I found if I had a treat now and then, I was less likely to binge on bad foods and throw my diet out the window.

    I figure, if I can do it, and I was always never consistent for any longer then 2-3wks, then anyone can.

    Look at my before and after pic's on my profile and that will show you how much of a difference this site and consistency can make.

    If you find structured exercise hard, like the gym or exercise equipment, just start with walking. I did that. I just did a lot of walking, as that is easier to motivate myself for. I'd just get outside and walk and gradually I got fitter and fitter.

    Also, do what you have done here. Come here for some encouragement and/or motivation if you're having trouble finding it within yourself.

    Hope that helps :smile:

    Answer these questions, in writing, and add them to your profile page. read them when you need motivation:

    1. What do I hate about being overweight? list at least 10 things. be brutally honest.

    2. What do I like about being overweight?
