    Good luck with your diet! Just starting out myself, not really knowing what I'm doing, but keeping the calories during the day to a certain number helps!

    When I go to the gym to do cardio or weight train, on the way there I visualise myself doing all the exercises and reps. I then visualise how I will feel after the sessions and what my figure might look like in 6 months time. That's what I use for my motivation, it's working! thus far :)

    I also need motivation! If I am losing the weight one week, I tend to put it back on the next. I need to lose one more stone so I am trying to keep positive :)

    Will send you a friend request.

    I am also a Mom of an almost 2 year old! Ia want to do this for me as well as for him! I want to make sure I can be the Mom that can do all with him!!!

    I was 215 in September 2011 and am now 195. I am going for a lifestyle change this time as I have done the crash diets and piled it all back on again. MFP has really helped me since I joined in February. Before that I had only lost 3 lbs going it alone.

    Good luck with your lifestyle change and hopefully we can support each other!
