Greetings from Central Tennessee!

Good afternoon/evening everybody!

My name is Howard; and I'm posting from a small town in Tennessee called Shelbyville. I've lived here for the past several months (being a transplanted Yankee); and enjoy it so far.

Anywho; I've been fighting with my weight for most of my 44 years; and can't seem to find the motivation to really do anything about it. I've tried Atkins; as well as Weight Watchers; and; did see some results, but, it doesn't last.

So, I guess what I'm asking is; how do you keep yourself motivated?

Thanks for your help

Howard

Hi Howard. It's my first day here too. I have the same question about staying motivated. I've tried just about everything it seems. People seem to say it helps to set small goals on the way to the big one... something that I've found does help me a bit is that I keep a list of reasons for why I would want to lose weight. Sometimes I pull it out and it helps. Good luck to you!

I've found that motivation can't come from anyone but yourself. When you're ready, it will click.

In the meantime, start journalling; form a new habit (ie drinking water instead of calorie filled drinks, going for a walk, etc.), It all adds up.
