"I have been off work since February. Went back last Tuesday just praying for motivation to survive work through the pain and breathing issues. Just want my life back. I miss ME." - A member of MyObesityTeam

On MyObesityTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with obesity, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Motivation is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are a few question-and-answer threads about motivation:

• I don't know how to stay motivated. Any advice?

• How do you encourage/motivate yourself to try again?

• Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can increase my energy levels?

Here are some conversations about motivation:

• Been kind of down and don't know why. Trying to get myself motivated again.

• Things are going great right now on my end. I have some real motivation.

• I've been applying my healthier lifestyle changes for over a month now and it feels great.
