Tips to Find Your Motivation

Determine what your incentive is to lose weight.
Take one step at a time. Take every day in stride, and do whatever is necessary to maintain your diet and exercise that particular day. Repeat.
Monitor your progress using a scale (once a week), body fat calipers, a tape measure, or by the fit of your clothes.
Tell your friends and family about your goals and ask for their support and encouragement.
Celebrate success by rewarding yourself with small treats (NON-food), such as a bunch of flowers for every week you adhere to your plan.
Join a weight loss support group or an online support forum.
Be prepared for roadblocks, and make plans to overcome them.
Realize the difference between fat loss and water loss...try to avoid water loss to prevent dehydration.
Be aware that the last few pounds can be difficult to lose.
