ever since i got engaged, well actually....ever since the holidays (a few weeks after i got engaged)...i have been so un motivated to go to the gym! i used to be fairly good about it, but i think i got so excited about the wedding and all that now all i have been doing is sitting on here! Of course i love talking to you girls, but now that i have stopped working out i have lost all my energy to even get up and go....(it's like a never ending cycle). I just need to get back into my routine again...it makes me feel good about myself, gives me energy, etc....any words of encouragement/motivation??

Re: i need some motivation.
ugh i was the same way.. i actually gained weight in the year since i've been engaged. But since the new year i've actually stuck to a diet and workout! Soo proud of myself.. whenever i feel like not working out or stuffing my face i look down at the ring and i think of getting in a wedding dress and i stop.

Re: i need some motivation.
I know what you mean, i gained weight the past few months...Before it was sooo easy to get motivated...I used to work out soooo much but now its hard...I get home after 6pm and by then i have been up for 12 hours between commuting and being at work, my commute is long and by the time i get home i have things to do and then later at night i am too tired, this is sooo upsetting. Also, have to go to appointments, do this get this, meet with this person and so on. I have been doing well with eating healthy and i do exercise but not as much as i should

i know exactly what you mean....before, it was so easy for me to get motivated, and i was really good about it....you would think it would be the opposite since now i have the goal of 'looking good in my dress'....but it's not. i have a long commute as well, and YES it's tiring. plus i am on my feet most of the day. but, it does help when i exercise b/c i feel more energized and not as tired overall....just have to get that initial umph.

Good for you! that is great, for some reason that thought has not helped me yet...maybe it will help me once i actually start trying on dresses.

I know, this past summer i went on a cruise and two months before i exercised like crazy, doing it 6x a week no matter what...you would think for something like this i would be even more motivated, i have my e-party in 4 weeks and i lost some weight but not where i would like to be...AHHH we need to find a way to motive ourselves lol

Re: i need some motivation.
I felt the same way...until i realized i gained 15 pounds and half of my pants didn't fit me anymore...i use the wedding as my motivation, and of course the summer (bikini season!!!) I actually hang pics of victorias secret models to get motivation, so that everytime i want to eat bad i stop myself and say ok i want to look thin,,,so i can't eat that...its been working for me..i lost 5 lbs!

Re: i need some motivation.
I need some too, maybe we could make a runing post on how we are all doing weekly??? With some of our weight loss challenges (like tastings at RH's) or accomplishments (drinking 8 glasses a day of water)
Just an idea!
