A lot of people feel they 'lost' it, when it comes to the motivation behind weight loss endeavors. Whether it is down the back of the sofa, or dropped in the street, the motivation just isn't there to lose weight. In fact, there are hundreds of people who exercise 3-5 times per week in the beginning, but still fail to meet their weight loss and fitness goals because they can't stick with it for long.
