Comments on: Find Motivation to Lose Weight http://www.344pounds.com/2009/04/find-motivation-to-lose-weight/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

If you plan to frequently visit such places with your daughter, a membership may prove to be less expensive than paying as you visit. Also, many such attractions have a day each month or week where admission is free for local residents. Worth checking out! Re: the zoo trips:

The short-term goals thing is a pretty great way to keep yourself motivated, indeed. I'm working on getting down to 245 so I can reward myself with delicious ice cream. I've got about 5 pounds to go on that one, but I'm sure I can reach it within the next two weeks. I've delayed it a bit because I started weight training last week and gained a bit o' muscle mass. At least, I hope it's muscle mass. Hey man, this is pretty awesome. The short-term goals thing is a pretty great way to keep yourself motivated, indeed.

The area that I really need to work on is the short term goals. Right now, I'm working on getting to 350. Only 18 more pounds to go! But today... for some reason... I keep thinking about how much total weight I have to lose. And I've been feeling a bit discouraged. I'm glad I read your post... because knowing that I'm not the only one that feels this way from time to time is comforting. Thanks for the pep talk! I really needed it! :) Great post!

Motivation? Dying. I don't want to, so I eat better and exercise. It works for me, almost there! My first goal is to get out of the “obese” category. Motivation? Dying.

I've had a similar one like that too. Always thought it would be cool to be away from the clutter of the city. Would be nice if the pond was large enough to have some fun on a jet ski. Seasonal would be nice too, where it could freeze over in the winter. I always imagine it ending up like that movie Funny Farm though lol I like the goal for the land.
