Well, welcome - hopefully you will find the motivation you need here! ;D
I am also a carb loving veggie, so I feel your pain.
Best of luck!

Heya, I'm new here also. (This is my first post!) I'm about the same weight/height as you, and I know what it's like to feel unmotivated. I've recently learned, however, that motivation seems to be something that is born within, not something discovered from outside influences. Occasionally, things like seeing your weight at an all time high or learning you're at a high risk for heart attack, diabetes, etc... are motivating factors, but ultimately it will be you that decides if you're going to lose weight or not.
Regarding your food-pushing relatives... I'm thinking you're going to have to live with their awkward stares and lack of understanding. Your goals are your own; don't let anyone undermine them. Sometimes it's vital to put yourself first!
I'm very new here, as I said above, but I already get the feeling that this board will be very helpful in my own personal weight loss goals, and I believe you'll get good support here as well. If you need someone to whine to, I'm willing to listen. :3

Yes, that is my hair. And thank you! Also, while I know that motivation stems from inside you, I'm at a point where I'm so surrounded by downers that it's absorbed right into my little head, and a support system of some kind just makes me feel not only that I can do this, but that I want to do this. I have to stop myself from thinking it's torture to exercise, et cetera. Always nice to have someone to go to. Thanks, you two!

I'm also a vegiterian. X__X
Motivation can be hard to find within yourself. I've tried losing weight before and staying healthier but its really a challenge sticking through with what you say is going to happen. Try finding a goal or something you can acheive by losing weight. Thats what I am trying to do right now.
