eating right motivation

I am new to all this working out and eating right thing and really don't have any idea what I am doing. Also lack motivation or loose motivation within a few days. How do I get and stay motivated?

Poor you - I feel your frustration. Your husband is very seriously morbidly obese, and seems to show no interest in doing anything about it. It sounds like he doesn't even care that he's that big. Clearly the serious health problems his family have suffered haven't been enough to scare him into doing something. 34 is young, too, to have got so bad - there are atheletes on their way back from Beijing with medals round their neck that are his age.

I used to be active, but a lot changed in my life and I was unable to find the time to exercise (worked 2 jobs to support a family) and no money for the healthier food choices. Ever since then, I have lost any motivation to lose weight or eat right and exercise. I have a 1 year old now and I packed on too much weight when I was pregnant. I do not feel comfortable with my body and I need yo get rid of this unhealthy mindset. What have been some things that have helped you?

I am young, 17, and I really need some motivation to start losing weight. Any mentors, tips, suggestions?

Hi ! I need some motivation ... I really want to go and eat that supid chocolate is in the fridge !!

OK folks! I really need some motivation here. I joined Weight watchers on-line and think it is great, however, getting me to DO it is something else. I have been eating NON-STOP now for the last three weeks. Nothing fits...which makes me feel worse, and swimsuit season is around the corner. Can someone help motivate me?

Hi there, best trick of all. Don't stop eating what you love! Everything in moderation. You're more inclined to eat better if you like the food. Try eating 80% healthy and reward yourself with something not so healthy. Remember, small proportions are key. Good luck!

I keep losing my motivation to go to the gym and eating healthier. Has anyone got anything that can help me?

I'v bin trying to lose weight for so long!! And I'm in need of motivation! Do you have any tips on how to keep going?

I have no motivation to do anything. I'm 14 weeks 4 days and I'm so tired. Is there anything I can do to get some energy back?

My last weigh in I was 254 and would like to see 200. My problem is motivation. I work 40 hours a week in front of a computer then have school online and am a single mother. Time to workout seems to be a luxury. Any tips?

I'm new to this site, and was curious on how everyone keeps their motivation or motivates them self to keep on with dieting and exercising. This is my biggest issue, MOTIVATION.. It's like I have no energy to get out and do something. I do have severe allergies. So I've been told that's a lot of my energy loss.

) after I lost all the weight I went through a stage where I felt I lost it all n I needed a break so I gained most of it back (165lbs)..I lost my motivation and self confidence..then right after I started working out again n trying to do better I was prego again when I went to the doctor I was 176lbs at my first ob appointment. :( how can I keep my motivation and keep my weight off!?

I'm gonna watch your post because I have the same problem, except I can lose weight in the waist and the bust, but not the butt or thighs really...I can a little, but not a lot. I can get to a medium top, I haven't been in less than a 9 in pants since before high school. I'm in an 11/12-13 now I had a baby 13 months ago, and it is hard as heck to lose the weight.

you know that after eating you weight increase and nobody can stop all this ,only u.find motivation for live,can be anything because eating is compensatory for unsatisfations.I'm really hoping you can find help ,have you tryed from doct?let me know how u doing...

Its a lot of work but once you find your motivation, the right foods you like, get a routine, and figure the whole portions thing out its easy and the hardwork starts to become rewarding. Also I'm doing this new thing called the 3 day military diet. You follow a strick diet for 3 days and in the 4th day eat normal but you gotta stay below 1800 calories watch the carb intake. The diet promises up to 10lbs loss in 3 days. I'm on day 2 and I've lost 4.7lbs and 2 inches in my waist.

thanks OpenMind! yes I think of all this stuff i would like to be doing, plant some flowers outside, walk more, etc...get to the beach again...but since i work alot, i just veg out when i get home...lol i just came off a 3 week stretch last week with no days off really so i'm still tired..but i'm hoping it gets better with time....can't even think about taking a pill right now, even if it is for depression...lol I don't think i'm depressed...just need some motivation...

Ok, so I really don't have much weight to lose (approx 15 lbs). It's mostly around my tummy. I had a baby 8 months ago and my goal is to get my flat stomach back by summer (Memorial Day). I don't have a problem with exercise. I can walk/run every day, the problem is my eating....which I know is the reason for my flabby belly (aside from being pregnant as well). I would just like to know what keeps everyone motivated, etc... I like to eat, and not healthy stuff, unfortunately.

So i been wanting to lose weight, and i know i can do it, i mainly want to lose inches, im at a size 13 and want to be a size 7, the only thing i lack is motivation so i wanna do this post to motivate myself and others who also want to lose weight, dont give up!! I currently have started little my little to cut sugars and start losing weight i havent lost any pounds but i feel my jeans more comfortable and not tight, i wanna use this post and my profile as a motivation for me to not give up!

I just can't find the motivation in me or the Internet to get up and go for a run! It like I feel so depressed, tired, sad, fat, lonely but I still can't get up and do something! Then I end up binge eat! WHAT DO I DO!

I am 41 and seeing 6 doctors, taking 7 prescriptions, had 2 strokes, high BP, etc... I have testing and other appts at least twice a week. This is no way to live. Most came from being overweight (5'4" 208lbs) and high cholesteral. Eating the right foods and right portions is everything! I've lost 11lbs in <month. You can do it once you put your mind to it!! Good luck! You go girl!!!

My question may be complicated and I really need some motivation. I just found out I was pregnant last night. I am currently 3 weeks (I know im super early) but I was having lots of cramps and pains. Went to the er and found out im pregnant. Was told by the doctor to do a follow up with a gyn. I do so the same day. Now my hcg levels decreased from the time I was in the er to the time I was in the gyn office on the same day. I now may be going through a miscarriage right now.

Aww, Tooter sorry you are feeling this way. I think it's normal and we have to just accept the ups and downs. I'm not motivated either; it's all I can do to get to work and parent my girlie. I keep saying I'm going to exercise, but I haven't. I also think we have to give time time- that dreader word. I went to a meeting last night and one of the topics was "Don't give up right before the miracle happens". I think your miracle is around the corner!
