keep asking urself how bad you want to loose weight or how bad you want to be healthy. Put lil reminders up like ur goal weight in key areas where you would see them everyday. I did that and put it on the fridge workout tapes and this calorie guide thing and it always keeps me thinking of where i want to go. write down all your motivations in a journal and look back at them. Hopefully those tips will help. good luck. ~chelsea~

if you have a picture of yourself when you were skinny it would be good to look at it before you eat and realize that you shou;dn't be binging or eating junk or anything when youre not hungry!

Hey, I dont want to sound rude or anything, but If you all are serious about losing weight, then get up and do something already! I havven't been on here forever, and today I got on to see what was new, when I see a bunch of pointless messages on the bulletin board. Get up and do something...that is what makes you lose weight, not getting on here every day for hours at a time! It's simple...no more pop, get active, cut down calories, and be happy! Now GET GOING! YEAH!

YEah, of course you can get motivated by this website, but you don't have to get dependent on it, and that's what a lot of ppl are doing. Without this website how are they going to get motivated? That's what they're thinking. It's okay to get on this website every now and then, but don't let it be your total motivation each time you need to excersize! Get motivated by yourself, and don't get dependent on this website for motivation!

Hey Ya'll. Just an update on my weight loss. Since last Friday I've been workin' like crazy doing Tae Bo, weight training, crunches, and pushups. I did all that each day (except Sunday, because my body needs rest) with my low carbing. This was definitely difficult for me because as some of you probably know, I HATE exercising... but thank God I got through all that. lol Saturday morning (I only weigh myself once a week on the weekends) after I got out of the shower I knew I had to weigh myself but I was sooo scared that all my work had been in vain and that I hadn't lost much weight. Anyways after standing in front of the scale about 5 minutes (just staring mind you) I finally stepped on and I couldn't believe it, I had lost 10lbs in a little over a week! All my hard work and resisting bad foods had paid off! I was ecstatic (as you can probably imagine =D) and was walking on air the rest of the day. I can't wait 'til Monday to start over again. ;D If I keep going at this rate I'll go past my short term weight loss goal of 175 by January. (YAYY!! lol) You guys keep doing what you're doing, don't be discouraged if you get off track, remember everyone does (believe me, I have lol). Congrats to all who have lost weight! Every bit counts. Keep up the good work everyone. Sorry this is so long (as you can tell I talk a lot lol), but I had to tell someone! 1 -Veronica

Hey All,I gotta confess, I haven't done as well as I know I can because I've lost my motivation a bit (just seems like being thin will never come to me, and seeing all the Thanksgiving food you're not allowed didn't help any lol). I need just a little boost... do you all have any motivational things you do to help you keep going, even when you're tempted to cheat or when in a weight loss plateau? Thanx to all who answer -Veronica

ach! you know what always motivates me and keeps me going? it's when i wear elastic things. like elastic underwear that conveniently(sarcasm) comes to my trouble spto so that my fat sticks out and makes me look lumpy. it's just so soft and disgusting. i have the same problem with my tennis spandex it's all too tight no matter how big the size is. my ultimate goal is to have muscle there instead of fat and for that to not happen so it helps me remeber why i'm doing it. and i think that i don't want to do badly on my siet because i'll regret it a lot more when i have to weigh myself for the week. remember- it's more frustrating and stressful staying fat then it is becoming skinny...

Hey! I am Mrs. motivated! I did a fitness video (the firm) last night. I feel good. As much as i hate (and i mean really hate) geting sweaty, it feels just plain good to move my body. I kinda felt like a rusty hinge finally getting WD-40ed. :) Any whoo, I dunno Girls have a ton of pressure from magazines, movies, school, and even parents (me) to lose weight just to look better, and not feel better. I've come to this great place where I know that the "world" wants me to lose weight for beauty purposes, but i'm losing it just so that i can go shopping and not have to shop around the big tire on my tummy, that and i'm looking forward to feeling lighter. Right now i just feel heavy. Does anybody know what i'm talking about?

I always thought i would be fat forever, but i've found inside the means and motivation to lose weight, and realise that yes, it can be done but i've got to work for it.

I don't eat too much, usually a nutrishake in the morning, some fruit for lunch then a regular dinner. I don't count calories or anything like that, i just make sure that i dont eat too much. I also lift weights and walk about 1.5 kilometers on my treadmill (i increase the distance as time goes on) everyday. I really hope that I can keep it up and stay motivated, and I wish the same for all of you too. My secrets so far have been killer music when exercising, and keeping my eye on the prize (picture my body the way i want it). (view less)

Doesn't just moving around feel good? I would also suggest walking around with a CD playe with either really upbeat music, or hard angry music. When ever i'm feeling a certain mood that i don't like music always always helps especially when i'm using energy to walk around maybe even nothing! i feel so energized!

I lost the 20 pounds by doing The Firm video,excersizing, eating right, drinking water and green tea coz it speeds up ur metabolism..and I was just patient and I believed I can do it and If you believe you can do it, you can..Coz actually I didnt think I was that overweight until my exboyfriend dumped me coz I gained weight over the summer..At first I sobbed and layed in bed all day eating icecream... lol but then I knew it was revenge! So I dropped 20 pounds and now I'm 140 and well I have some muscle too..and I walked past him at skool and I felt great! Later on that day he said he was sorry and asked for me back..And I said No ur getting too fat...and i walked away, he got the deal..I'm not skinny but I kinda have a J'lo figure.JUST DONT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF! I DID THAT TO MANY TIMES! and then i believed i could do it and basically willpower is all it took..If anyone ever makes fun or picks on you, you just prove them wrong and then that really makes you want to not give up on it...Also make sure you satisfy your biggest critic........YOU.
