Motivation comes from within you and your reasons for wanting to get to your goal...

Help comes from reading the stickied threads ... and askig questons based on your reading..

What does your diet consist of?

You've got to be patient and, as Mal said, eat the right things as well as exercise. When I started I didn't lose an inch OR a pound for a month. In fact, I gained 5 pounds before I started losing.

If you're doing what you need to do, and doing it the right way, it will come off.

and on a completely related but unrelated topic.. .you don't HAVE to wear a bikini - there are plenty of one piece swimsuits that are far sexier looking and will fit you better than a bikini might... why torture yourself - be comfortable in what you're wearing

i actually think my stomach is nice.. nice and flat, its the bum and legs im not too fond of...

and im not going to lie.. i wouldnt say i eat super healthy.. i eat what i want.. which isnt TOO bad.. but isnt too great.. im not a health nut when it comes to eating.. im afraid if i dont take in enough calories/protein.. all that junk.. i will lose muscle instead of fat.. AND my metabolism will slow down.. i just cant cut out the junk food completely.. i'd be miserable. working out sucks enough.

it sounds like you are working out plenty hard enough. maybe you could add some resistence or weight training? your weight isn't bad at all, so maybe a bit of muscle would make you feel better in that bikkini. are you tracking what you eat or just guessing?

Make sure you change your exercising plan from time to time so that your body doesn't get too used to it.

Have you tried video games as exercising? this can make your plan more interesting and fun. There are many game types that can help you lose weight.

If you do things right, there is no reason you won't succeed! Good luck!

How come you're not doing any resistance training?

I bet the amount of fat on your bum and legs is just fine, especially if you're comparing yourself to models. They don't have enough fat on their legs

Your motivation lies simply in the fact that you have not obtained the goal you are so desperately trying to achieve.

At least thats what I tell myself whenever i feel down.

KEEP IT UP !!

hey everyone,
i can totally relate to feeling unmotivated. over the past 5 years i've been unmotivated. over the past 2 months i've been trying to return my focus to fitness, but seems i only get one day a week of exercise & then my motivation is gone again.
i'm getting quite stressed out about it !!!

Motivation related to emotional issues

I'm curious as to whether or not anyone else has noticed their motivation changing with shifts in emotional well being? It seems like there must be a link. has anyone found any programs that help look at the emotions behind weight gain?
