Ht. 5'3", Wt. 212 - Ok, for the past three and a half weeks, I have been cutting back on what I eat, and I was trying to exercise. In two weeks, I had lost 7.5 pounds and was down to 209.5. But then it was my sisters b-day, and I had some cake and ice cream, and I got back to 213. I've lost a pound back but I haven't exercised for over a week, cause I lost motivation, and I think that's what the problem is. Does anyone have any tips for getting motivated to exercise???

Don't sweat the small mess-ups, I'm sure it was really good while it lasted. Just think about your priorities and what you feel is best for you. The biggest motivation comes from within and can't be supplied by those around you. But to get into the right mind-set, think about healthy, unclogged arteries, skinny jeans, hot guys, and tight, flat stomachs. Start exercising again. Start with something fun, if your not ready to get back into serious work outs.
