Where do you get the motivation from?

You could try working out with a friend, you can motivate each other. Try working out to music you love, this will also help you to get through the time. I have had trouble eating healthier as there are a lot of things I love to eat that are pretty healthy but yet have a lot of calories in them. I suggest you start by taking smaller meals, not down to one pea but just one spoonfull less every few days so your body can get ajusted. Don't start working out a lot right away, this will only injure your body! When I started out I was told 20 minutes every other day, I do this on a crosstrainer I have at home. No other people, no time needed to get to the gym, I can just hop on. I bought it second hand for about 100 euros and it's great. A gym will cost you even more, so this is about 2 or 3 months membership but I can use it every day without leaving the house. I did join the gym for grouplessons later on as I like stepaerobics a lot. If you like I could try and motivate you over the internet, but that's pretty hard. People in your direct invironment can motivate you more easily and most important is to learn and motivate yourself. Babysteps at a time and reward yourself every time, preferbly with non-food items. I got myself a new my little pony for my collection when I didn't touched candy for a week, this was my first goal. And after a while I could set my goal to losing 4 kilo's and I did, it took my 3 weeks but I got there, and I bought a nice top I had been wanting forever and it fit and looked better. Losing weight slowly is better as it won't gain back so fast. This is my last tip if you need any help let me know and good luck!

Hey there my friend! Well, we have the same height. When I was in college, I weighed at 252 lbs. tops. I was having a hard time. during that time, I motivated myself to attract girls. I was so immature, I wanted to get thin so women would go out with me. I didn't care about anything else. Not even health. I ended up losing about 90 lbs. after just 4 months. I went down to 160-165 lbs. I was thin but I wasn't looking and feeling very good. I got real sick. With that, I gained almost everything back a year ago. I weighed in, within the last year, 244 lbs tops. This time though, what helped me get motivated was my family. I really wanted to be healthy for them. I want them to have me longer as I was really having health issues and I don't want them to lose me early. As of now, I'm at 202 lbs. and is continuing to go down. Think of the people you love as well. It would boost your motivation by a significant amount. Take care!

Hi Mare, You have to do it, no one can motivate you except yourself..LOL!
