I struggle with the same thing! There are a few things that help me to get motivated: 1) I make short term goals for myself. I set a deadline (maybe before a party or trip somewhere) for a specific amount of weight I'd like to lose by that time. 2) I look at pictures of myself when I was feeling content with my weight and…

Thank you so much! This was very helpful!

"At that point to build muscle up again is very difficult, much easier to maintain it!" Thank you for your input but I have one question, why is it more difficult to build after losing the weight? Is it because I have potentially lost muscle or is there some other factor that I am not aware of?

5'2" and was at 187 lbs. I'm now down to 153 (gained 3 lbs on vacation) and am the smallest I've been in 4 years! I still have about 23 lbs to go to reach my goal weight but I believe that I can do it now. Having other short friends would be motivating!

It is frustrating some times! But I am less frustrated now with 23 lbs left until my goal weight than I was when I still had 65 lbs to reach my goal weight! I get tired of measuring, weighing and tracking but I can't stop now, not when I've already made so much progress.

I also suffer from depression and I gained 60 lbs in 4 years. In the past year I have lost half of it. It has been a real struggle but I already feel better. I'm here with you! We can do it!

I started low carb about 3 months or so and have lost 17lbs so far. I fell off the wagon for about 2 weeks but have started up again this week and am doing good so far! I'm finding it easier to make better food choices now as I've become more accustomed to going without bread and potatoes; potatoes are my fav food!…

To fit into my favorite swimsuit (and look good in it) that I haven't been able to wear in years!

I struggle with sweets so much! I have struggled with my weight for my whole adult life but at one point had cut out sweets almost entirely. That is until I got a new boyfriend who loves sweets like a little kid. He brought them home every day and over the past 4 years I gained 65 lbs from eating what he ate. For the past…

Starting weight: 185 lbs Start weight this month: 155 lbs Goal weight this month: 151 lbs Target goal weight: 130 lbs I'm jumping on this a little late but better late than never! I hope that's ok with everyone in this group! July 1 July 2 July 3 July 4 July 5 July 6 July 7 155 lbs July 8 July 9 July 10 July 11 July 12…
