Perhaps focusing on weight loss could be the very reason you have less motivation. If you are desiring to lose weight for health reasons, instead focus on the changes that will directly impact your health even if it's not inherently related to your weight. When you make changes with a weight-neutral approach, you may lose weight or you may not, but if your health is better that's what matters. Check out resources among the Health At Every Size paradigm or explore health professionals that may help with your desire to lose weight.

It's really important to understand all the wonderful health benefits of putting down those extra kilos. Also, don't expect to get highly motivated without some practice. Start by doing light exercises and when you will see some results, you'll automatically be ready to push yourself harder.

I get the motivation to lose weight by seeing/watching other people who have successfully lost weight, this is because I believe that seeing somebody else who had the same issue makes it feel relatable to me and seeing that person overcoming the issue motivates me to follow what the person done.

Know why you need to lose weight. It should be a strong reason.
Then set a feasible goal that suits you.
Know that each small action will add up eventually
Imagine the life you wish to have after losing weight.
Write down your goal and update your progress.
Don't get trapped in the feeling that you are doing something highly out of your ways and comfort zone. Start with small changes...like making one meal right and healthy for the first week follow by other meals.
Make exercise an enjoyable and relaxing time.
Do the kind of exercises you like to do....even if it is simply dancing to a song or taking your pet for a walk.
Believe in your ability to reach your goal.
And keep up hopes.

I think its important to look into the mirror and to be able to picture your motivation on why yo want to lose weight and everyday you look in the mirror and you tell yourself that you can do it! You set little attaniable goals and you be your best self and everything else will follow. And to reach out to proper nutritionists and medical professionals to discuss what is best for you. Becuase everyone is different and no BODY is the same. And just because one person lost the weight this way means that the next person will loose the weight the same way.

I am struggling with this as well but I am learning that it is not about "getting motivation". It is about giving myself positive ways to look at this. For instance - I need to ask myself - What would a healthy person do? Would a healthy person eat this box of cookies or would a healthy person eat some fresh veggies? Would a healthy person drive the two blocks to the store or would they walk? It's a constant state of putting yourself in check. Good luck. You can do this!

Acquiring motivation for weight loss revolves around determination, dedication, discipline, and integrating the crucial aspect of progress tracking. Start by defining your goals and understanding the reasons behind your desire to lose weight, fostering a strong sense of determination. Dedicate yourself to a holistic approach that combines a balanced diet with regular exercise. Establish a progressively achievable routine, emphasizing consistency. Discipline is pivotal in creating a supportive environment for healthy choices and minimizing obstacles. Implement a tracking system, utilizing tools like journals, apps, or wearable devices to record progress. Regularly monitor and acknowledge achievements, reinforcing discipline and boosting motivation. Engage with a supportive community or seek assistance from friends and family for enhanced accountability. Celebrate milestones, no matter how small, as they fuel ongoing motivation. In essence, the interplay of determination, dedication, and discipline, coupled with proactive progress tracking, creates a robust foundation for the lasting motivation needed for the weight loss journey.

I think that if we try to think about losing weight and how our health and mood will improve, as well as how our appearance and everything will change for the better, I feel that thinking like this is part of reducing weight loss. In addition to this, we can do activities that involve more movement so that we do not feel bored or forced to do this. For example, I love walking, and when I used to walk every day for half an hour or more, this helped me a lot.Cooking the foods we love with almost the same recipe, just making the recipe as healthy as possible, as well as diversifying the meals helps.
I wish you all the your goals🌷🌷🙏
