I'd love to hear any pointers here! For me, I am trying to surround myself with motivational tips. Also, keeping an honest, accurate record of my exercise/eating has been helpful!

Still......this past weekend was really hard for me. We had family over a lot and man we always love to munch when we get together! Our beautiful spring weather we had enjoyed all week turned back into cold, wet, snowy winter. Luckily I didn't gain weight but unfortunately I have stayed the same since!

What do you do?

    I agree about before and after pics- I take weekly photos of myself and though I've only lost a few pounds I'm feeling and looking much more toned. Pictures don't lie. The scale can be motivating too. My official weigh in day is Wednesday, that gives me a couple of days to get back on track before weigh in if I have a tough weekend. And if the scale is not in my favor I tend to get even more determined!

    I keep reading other success stories on the site and that gives me the daily dose of much needed encouragement.

    I motivate myself with looking at a favorite dress that I used to be able to fit into a year ago but can't now. Also, looking at my kids are my main motivation as I want to see them have kids.
