I just can't find motivation

You have to want it plain and simple.

No outside influence will every get you to succeed if you don't have the drive from within.

For me I had to see results, as soon as I noticed clothes fitting better I was onthe wagon for good.

Find you inner motivation and nothing will stop you from succeeding!

You're not alone...it happens to the best of us. First of all I'd say find activities that you enjoy doing to start off with. If you HATE running then don't make that your form of exercise. If you're having trouble giving up sweets then don't give them up. Start small...baby steps.

In terms of your diet don't give things up...you'll NEVER give up your favorite "bad for you" treats forever!!! It's just not possible and not necessary. Start off by using portion control. This means track your caloric intake. Eat that brownie your craving but make sure you account for it in your daily intake. Portion control is the biggest problem this country has. I can go to Olive Garden and order a pasta dish that's big enough to feed (and fill up) a family of 4 grown people. So start by eating less of what you already eat. I promise when you start to see changes you'll be come more motivated and be more willing to take that next step which would be replacing that brownie for a "sugar free or no sugar added" treat instead (You'd be surprised how many of those exist out there and how delicious they really are!)

If it's exercise that's troubling you, like I said don't force yourself into doing activities that you hate. If you don't like to run then find something you do enjoy, for example biking. Start small...eventually you'll start to see results and again once you do it'll motivate you to want to push harder and maybe advance with your biking and maybe join a spin class or better yet you might finally have worked up the endurance that maybe running doesn't seem like such a bad option after all. Remember you must walk before you can run!

Just because you woke up today and said "A change needs to be made in my lifestyle" does not mean you have to go cold turkey, yes that works for some people, but certainly not for everyone. Take baby steps and find a way to make yourself accountable for your actions (ie recording your food intake.) Also, one other trick that I use is that I read a lot of health and fitness material. Whether it be "Women's Health" or other magazines, or biographies and books by famous fitness trainers, or even skimming through the "Fitness" section of Pinterest, I try to make health apart of my daily life. The articles I read inspire me to try new things in both my diet and in my workouts. Some of those things may work and some may not, but either way they keep me going and keep me MOTIVATED! Good luck and I hope you find your motivation.

My hubby and daughter are my motivation. I want to lose the excess weight so I can keep up with them! My hubby offers gentle encouragement. We eat out a lot, also. Proper food choices and portion control are the key. Take your time deciding what to order. Get the MFP app for your phone and check the nutrition info on the food before you order it...it may surprise you. Drink lots of water, and have water or unsweetened iced tea with your meal. You can do it!!

I watch the Biggest Loser when I feel bad, I've never been morbidly obese but watching those people changing their life really motivates me to keep going.
Take one day at a time, and before you know it, you'll be 20 pounds lighter and then you'll be even more motivated!
Best of luck

I hear you. Losing weight is hard!! I lost quite a bit of weight years ago on WW but it didn't stay off and now I'm almost back to where I started from originally. The only thing I can say is "you have to want it". More than that piece of cake or more than that bag of chips.

It's a choice that you make daily. Some days are good and some not so good but I just keep going one day at a time. There is no secret just keep with it and each day will become easier (hopefully).
