It's something that will come with your decision to make some "big" permanent changes in your lifestyle. When it becomes important enough for you it will come. If you ever need a kick in the rump to get going let us know. You'll be happy you did! -------------- Dont wait! Procrastinate NOW! =)

I had the same problem as you as far as motivation is concerned and though I am a female my height and weight were close to yours. I just could not stick with any plan for longer than a week or two. What finally got me to stick with it was to get on the scale in front of a friend (very embarrassing for me)and have them log my weight every Sunday. For some reason just knowing that someone was looking over my shoulder truly helped. I didn't want my friend to think I couldn't do and I needed to do it for myself. I have now been dieting for a month and lost 15 pounds. I am hoping to lose 5 more pounds my Sunday. "Once you get started it does become addicting". Good Luck to you!
