Need Motivation!!!

I'm not familiar with the JC program - I do WW.
However, maybe instead of trying to tackle the entire program at once, maybe focus on one goal per week and build on that? Ie., make sure you get in all of your recommended fruits/veggies this week. Next week, keep that going and add in exercise. And so on and so forth.

Also, if you get a nice grasp on it now, you'll be in the swing of things before the holidays approach (which always come with all sorts of high-cal foods) How's that for some motivation?

I agree with Kris. SMALL GOALS are the key to success.

Think of your wedding......you wouldn't just put it all together in one day.....you do things little by little and they all add up to one huge accomplishment.

It's the same thing with weight loss.

thanks guys. i did jenny craig last year and loved it. i was soo focused. its just so hard to get back on track and soo frustrating to know i gained it back. :( its just soo depressing.

Think of your gown! I lost a lot of weight once too and even though I've kept the bulk of it off, a few pounds have come creeping back.
Anyway, I know I don't look terrible, just a bit more curvy than I'd like, so when I went to try on my gown, I KNEW that if I dropped like 10-15 pounds, I'd look perfect!! I am trying very hard, but I love to cook! I cook healthy food, but I eat too much of it! I HAVE NO TURN OFF SWITCH!

Anyway, my motivation is my gown and FH's face when he sees me in my gown for the first time. I want him to look at me all day and say, 'Damn!'

Is that good motivation?

How is your excercising? I've done countless diets over the years (jenny, WW, etc) but would always gain the weight back.

I was finally able to keep a decent amount off when I started running / training for a half marathon. Now, when I feel like I'm gaining, I increase my weekly mileage.
