I've been trying to lose weight, but I'm having a hard time getting motivated. What can I do to help me get started?

One way to start getting motivated is to set realistic goals for yourself. Break your goal down into smaller steps that are easier to achieve. For example, if you want to lose 10 pounds in two months, then each week you could aim to lose 0.5-1 pound. This will make it more achievable and help keep you on track. Additionally, find ways to reward yourself when you reach each milestone or success along the way. Finally, try to stay positive and focus on how far you have come instead of how far you still need to go.
