Today is my first day of dieting/ working out and I cant get motivated! The fact that I need to lose all this weight should be motivation enough, but its just not! I'd rather sit here under my snuggie and watch tv!

Re: I need to get motivated!
Gail I am sooo with you! I have gained like 10lbs since the wedding and I am totally unmotivated! I have always been like this (fat and lazy) but I was doing so well before the wedding so its discouraging that im right back where i was

I agree with Mirabella. Get rid of all the crap in the house. Healthy fruits and veggies. Tons of water and walk on the treamill while watching tv. That will warm you up quick!
Good luck! You can do it. Think of Indian food next weekend as a treat to look fwd to!

Gail, me too!!!! Today I woke up early and went to hot yoga!! It was soooo amazing to be back. Mike got me 10 sessions for Christmas! He also got me wii Fit(Plus) and I'm using that as well. Today was my first day!! I had egg whites and fiber toast and lots of water. Then celery and some low fat cheese cubes and a lil natural peanut butter. Then for dinner grilled salmon with salad and hummus. No doodoo fried fast food!!! I've gained 10 lbs since the wedding for sure. It's gotta come off!! My TWOTY dress doesn't forgive!!!!

Aww Gail! You can do it. I really feel like it has to just become a lifestyle. To be honest, I can't imagine NOT eating right and working out. I wasnt always this way. I ate lots of garbage and never exercised and then just got really interested in food/nutrition and being healthy...It's to the point now that I feel incomplete if I am not eating right and exercising. Find things that you enjoy doing as far as exercise goes. I hate running and won't force myself to do it all the time. I love to cycle though and i enjoy the elliptical. I also LOVE lifting weights so I try to challenge my body in that way.
As for the food I don't keep 'trigger' foods in the house. Sometimes I hate that but I know myself and I can't have just one. I allow myself one cheat meal per week and I find that even now the foods I choose to 'cheat' with aren't even cheat foods. I just prefer to put good things into my body. I m really into all this and I would love to help you in any way that i can!
I love the elliptical too!!! That's my fave!! But no more gym membership these days. The wii Fit has a ton of aerobics stuff though!!! I'm loving it!! I used to love the rollerblading ellipticals they had at XSport. That was my baby!! Also the elliptical with the stationary arms so you can raise the incline a ton, loved those! I want them for my house!! Even though there is NO space for them lol.

Re: I need to get motivated!
Ugh, I know! After the wedding I was very 'whatever' about my eating and I didn't go to the gym at all. But I think, new year new me and I went and bought a game for the Wii and I played it yesterday and today. You'd think it would be stupid but my legs were killing me yesterday from all the side lunges!

Re: I need to get motivated!
This thread couldn't come at a better time!!! I am having such a problem!! I have gained 13 pounds since the wedding!!! And its just not coming off!!! I was eating pretty badly though, going out to eat, and CHOCOLATE!!
I was working out but then i hurt my foot at work, so I couldn't work out for 3months!!!
But I have started again!!! I missed it sooo much!! Last week I did hot yoga, kickboxing, curves, and Richard Simmons!!
Tonight was my first zumba class!!! I loved it!!! SO fun!!! I a m doing 5 sessions!! I also did the treadmill this morning before work!!
Tomorrow, I am either going to the gym or hot yoga with DH!!!! He said he would try it!!!
I am on ww but I have no motivation to point out what I am eating since the wedding. I was soooo goood before!!
I don't drink enough water, ad don't have enough fruit and veggies. I LOVE CARBS!!!
Lauren where are you????Help me please!!!!! Give me a diet to follow!!
Gail... your grilled chicken post is great!!! I think I will try all those recipes!!!
Everyone says, grilled chicken, veggies and brown rice = weight loss... i like all those things.. but would rather hav epasta!!!!
I have lost 40 pounds.. and it is just killing me to see myself gaining!!

Re: I need to get motivated!
i want to lose about 10 lbs. I staretd hardcore again today & i hit the gym after work for 1.5 hours. Its just a mind set. U have to get yourself into a thought process that this is not only for weight but for your health. U gotta just do it. Maybe if you take a pic of what u want to look like & hang it on the fridge. Maybe that could be some motivation. But remember eating healthy & being healthy equals a better you in total mind & body! GOOD LUCK

I have done the whole pic on the fridge thing and it doesnt work for me. I hung a pic of me and DH on our fridge of how I looked when we started dating (when i thought I was fat back then and clearly wasnt )

I dont know how to say it but honestly its like you will do it when you really want to. Do u really really want to? Cause if you really want to get healthy then you just have to do it. You have to figure out what inspires you to get moving. Is it another person? Is it a marathon you may want to complete. Is it something else? U have to figure it out. For me im always active & really cant imagine not running and being a healthy person. But after losing the baby i needed to focus on me more. And for me that about gettingeveb more healthy & getting ready to try again for our baby. Hope things workout for you.

Re: I need to get motivated!
I used to eat whatever I wanted and didn't care and then I saw the movie FOOD, INC and omg did it change my outlook on food and what goes into our bodies and how sometimes we get sick from food and don't even know it.....I've found I'm losing a few lbs just b/c i'm finding certain foods gross since the movie.
