To me small goals are the key.
Some that I managed to accomplish are these

-Drinking 4-6 bottles of water a day ( or as many as i can ) and then rewarding myself by the time weekend comes with diet soda. I get cravings for it all week so it helps lol.

-Keep track of your eating and exercising in a journal to track progress. It may seem a bit weird but once you start doing it and keep it up it really helps motivate you.

-Set a reasonable goal weight each week and try to work towards it, when you see that you reached your goal or even more ites pretty exciting.

-Keep track of your weight! Preferably with a digital scale. Once you see results it makes you want to keep going.

Good luck!

It takes time to change our habits. Remember, this is about changing our habits to be healthy habits. You can do this! Have you checked out the Resource Center yet? There are a lot of articles in there in the motivation section that you may find helpful.

Also, try to not focus so much on losing weight. Instead, focus more on eating nutritious foods and getting exercise.

Here are some articles that I think you may find helpful:
