Is anyone having problems getting motivated to get to the gym?
Original post by BellaEyes
I have about 8 months to lose the 20 pounds I want to. I'm about 137 now and my height is 5'4' I went from being that strict person who ate very healthy and working out 6 days a week ( this was about 3 years ago) to the total opposite. I don't know why I'm having such a problem.. Every weekend I say I'm going to start working out and then something else comes up. I know that once I start getting into the mode I will continue but gosh.. I am so lazy lately.. I think partially bc I also have chronic fatigue syndrome.. and all I ever feel is tired!

In my motivation getting, all you need to do is go 1 time and have a great workout and then it gets easier to go the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc...
I know that a lot of people think they need like 1 hour or more of their time to be able to go, but if you only have 45 minute just go to the gym and do 15 minute of cardio, get in the building and then shower and leave. Just going and stretching and a little cardio is better than nothing and it makes you feel better. There are some days thats all the time i have to go and i make sure i go because its better than not going.
Just go, you'll feel so much better having gone!!!

I have it pretty easy since I was a gym lover way before I even got engaged. I'm at my ideal weight now, but for the last few months I've been adding some more strength training to my routine and I LOVE the results. Nice cut biceps and even my triceps are tight. I have a naturally muscular build, so I tighten up fast. If you increase your cardio and follow it with some weight training, you should look great. Don't worry, you have PLENTY of time yet!! Good luck.

I'm having trouble too and I only have about 100 days left. I'm just so tired all the time. I'm at a healthy weight, but I need to tone up. It's just so hard to stay motivated.

ME, ME, ME!! I keep posting asking if anyone has a Bally's membership and wants to be my workout buddy, so we can motivate one another, but I haven't gotten any takers.

I am very into it and I am seeing results finally. It took a lot of motivation to get back to the gym. I have been a healthy eater and very into the gym for years now. The problem is I get lazy every now and then. I get so sick of being strict and going to the gym that I just stop. I don't gain any weight for a while, but then all of sudden, my pants don't fit right. That is when I go back to the gym.
I only have 3 months left so I really need to get my butt in gear. My FH is very into the gym and goes by a strict diet. I think it is easier this way to stay good. If my Fh and family ate bad around me all the time, I probably would give in.

I have noticed that one of the $1.99 trashy gossip magazines works well for keeping me occupied on the elliptical.
HA! The best thing about my gym is they have subscriptions to all those mags.
