I cant stop eating and I cant get motivated to workout. I dont know what is wrong with me. I keep thinking of how I have to get walking and I am a member of WW . I realized that I am so out of shape when I had to run and catch a plane last week I nearly coughed up a lung trying to get air into me. I usually think about working out around noon when i am at work and when I get home I just cant get my butt on the treadmill or to the gym. Please girls help me get motivated Is this anyone else too??

Maybe you just need a workout buddy! I find the buddy system works best. Even if your buddy is your mom (aka- the crazy gym lady) who sings to herself on the treadmill

I know exactly what you mean. If you want an online workout buddy I'm in...

i'm in the same boat but some things i have found helpful are:

- buy healthy food you like, and try not to even buy the unhealthy stuff. there's plenty of healthy food i like, and i'll eat it if its available. a lot of times i only eat unhealthy food if it's right there in front of me. I live with FH and he loves a lot of my fav unhealthy foods, so there is a challenge, but it's a start

- treat working out as important as work or any other commitment you have. im having trouble with this -- i go to class because im supposed to, but i skip workouts because i know i 'can'

- try to be more active even if it means not going to the gym. today i took a friend on a walking tour of my undergrad campus and we walked A LOT. i didn't 'work out' today but much better than sitting on my butt...

I am right there with you. I always make excuses why I can't go to the Gym or why the ice cream isnt a big deal.

We all feel this way.

I dont think I need to lose alot but I feel yucky and the fact that I ran from one side of the airport to the other and it took me a good 20 min to catch my breath made me think I am way out of shape.

Hm, nothing is better motivation, I think, than having to justify my results to someone every week, whether its being weighted/measured/etc

Thanks thats very helpful. I tried to get my gfriend to join WW with me but she wants to go it alone (?)Dont understand that. It seems so hard to make the time to get my lazy butt to the gym and I hate mornings but that seems to be the only time I can do a workout

I dont usually stay for the meetings. Is that idea of being embarassed if I gain weight that motivates me.

that is the only way that I lose is when I have to be accountable for my sinful eating habits the week before. I have to admit I love to raise my hand to say I lost X amount of LBS. Its just been a while since Ive seen the # go down

Yeah. Im not a good motivator b/c clearly I cannot motivate myself
