I just had my worst week effortwise and if shows on the scale. I think I've gotten too comfortable with the loss I've had so far and the comments so far from people. I have to stay motivated towards my goal...

Also, a couple more friends would also help I believe to motivate me as I motivate others...

    I am right there with you! The first 30 pounds came off pretty easy and I started feeling good about myself. Then I got lazy and gained some back. We need to do this. MFP all the way!!

    I'm so with you guys!!! I was down 45, then got "lazy" and lost focus, gained 8 back! BUT, I started at it again yesterday, committed to the 17 Day Diet, already lost 1 lb (I know not a lot, but it's a start!) so I'm now back to 38 lbs lost, I know by the end of the week I'll be back to 40+ and on my way to my goal, which is a total of 61 lbs. removed... WE CAN DO IT! It's the 4th quarter, we can't quit now!

    Staying motivated if my biggest problem lately!!! I used to be so committed, never missing a workout and never looking twice at "junkie" food, but lately (weird enough closer to my wedding) I have less and less energy and will-power!!!!! AHHHHH..... sometimes it really helps when my fiance reminds me of how dedicated I was before and how much more energy I have when I actually make myself get up and get moving!!! Thanks for the post... I'm gonna go do my workout now!!! Feel free to add me if you like!!!! You have come too far to turn back now!!!!

    ME TOO! I have lost around 30 overall and the last 15 I have lost using MFP. I have slacked too so I am up around 3 lbs. I am trying to be more dedicated in exercising every morning and staying within 1200-1300 calories. I feel better doing this but sometimes staying motivated to exercise is my problem. I have kinda become comfortable where I am at but I want to lost around 25 more. We can do it! Feel free to add me as a friend. The more friends the better! :)

    For me, I try to keep the battle reduced to "Today Only". It helps me to stay on track if I don't focus on yesterday (or last week) or on tomorrow. Today is all I have.

    When I first started, I wrote down words to this effect:

    One meal at a time.
    One workout at a time.
    One pound at a time.

    I have to live in the moment to stay sane.

    :) Good luck to all!
