I need to get myself motivated to go back to the gym. I have lost about 25lbs so far and down 4 pants sizes. I am thrilled but would love to loose 30 more lbs before the big day. What is helping everyone to stay motivated?

I've done that, the thrill wears off.lol I'm doing great on my diet but really need to tone up. I am so tired after work and I can't seem to get my self to work out. I think I am going to start back slow and only go on the weekends since I can't use work as an excuse.

Maybe TMI, but a naked pic of me on the fridge works. I just have to take it down when FH's kids come for the weekend.

What works for me is that I try and do exercises that I really enjoy doing and have fun doing it. I love yoga so I try and do that often. For cardio I do a Pilates class that incorporates drills on a mini trampoline. I have so much fun doing that class and I actually look forward to going to it. I also horseback ride and it's a great cardio workout and I don't even feel like I'm working out while I'm doing it. I suggest finding something that is fun ! Maybe try Zumba or another dance type class...I always have fun doing them. I won't go to the gym just to do the machines...I find them too boring and I end up leaving early.

I would definitely try to ease into it by doing a fitness class you think you would enjoy there is so much out there! even a 1 hr yoga/pilates mix class kills you but goes by so fast!!!
