Comments on: Staying Motivated to Lose Weight http://www.344pounds.com/2010/01/staying-motivated-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.

You just gotta suck it up and as much as living day to day doing things you may not want to do sucks, it will all pay off when you feel great about yourself. p.s. I also wanted to say that I LOVE how personal you are with your site and how you respond to every comment. That really shows you care about your readers and stay connected and I definitely appreciate that :) So let me just say that I have been figuring out the same thing you just wrote about above and it has made a difference.

I have failed on and off with weight loss attempts. I feel like this time will be different for me because I am adapting this same strategy. It isn't fun to count calories all day and go to the gym on my lunch hour; but it is necessary. Well said, and exactly what I was searching for today.

I am also a guy that needs to drop 100 lbs. I just recently started working out for the last few weeks with my home elliptical and I was wondering what you started doing when you began your journey? I am able to do 30 mins of interval on it and just recently started to push even longer. What tips can you give me to help. I am a first timer here and intend to keep on reading and following your journey as I begin my own! Thanks Tyler,

How did you get past the anger toward yourself for getting so big (when you were big)? I have been trying to lose 30 lbs. for years now. I actually thought something was wrong with me medically, and had my thyroid tested and everything. It is so hard to keep trying after failing so many times. How do you get in the game and stay in the game after being disappointed so many times for so long? Where does that drive come from? Please help.
