Answer 1

One of the greatest difficult tasks is to motivate you for weight loss. After one month around, you start your enthusiasm in your weight loss and fitness program. I have learned few things that that has helped me to be motivating towards the fitness program and get my weight loss goal. I think these tips will also helps you as well to loose weight and keep motivated towards various weight loss and fitness programs.


* Once you have started your weight loss program, its a great idea to weigh yourself only once a week. If you keep on weigh everyday, you will only discourage yourself. If you weigh yourself only once a week, you will be able to analyses whether you need to make change to your existing routine or not.

* Keep a photo of a heavier version of yourself in plain view. This will keep be motivating how great you look after loosing weight than you were before loosing extra pounds. It will also prevent you from sliding back into old habits.

* Once you have achieved your weigh loss goals, and then imagine what you want yourself to look like. This will give you the motivation to keep the weight off.

* Keep setting higher and higher goals for you towards your fitness. If you do not set new goal for you and work to achieve them, then you will surely run in to our bed habit. As a result, you will not be able to keep the weight off. So it’s a great idea to keep on setting new goals and get in perfect shape. As you know it’s a really tough task to keep what you have achieved than what you are looking for.


These are some of ideas that keep me motivated towards my weight loss and fitness program. There may be many more reasons for you to motivate yourself to loose weight.

First you need to set a goal. i.e. My anniversary is in August and I'm going on a cruise so I bought a treadmill back at the end of April and am on there faithfully 30 minutes a day every day. My goal was to be in shape for my cruise, so that motivates me. Secondly, a buddy will help motivate you. If you have a significant other, or a good friend, walking together is a good way to spend time together and catch up on your day. It helps you get in shape and strengthens the relationship. Thirdly, vary your routine. Change the route you take, change the distance you go and change the speed of your walk. Or if you are exercising, change the routine.,, do weights one day and cardio the next, etc. Change ups like that keep it from getting boring.

Answer 3

dont see it as an exercise or a programme. See it as a fun part of your life.
To walk everyday or do light exercises three or four times a week should be a fun part of your life routine, shouldn't it?
Look, go to http://fit-n-fat.blogspot.com and have a read there. It's fun, makes sense and isnt about a quick loss but about your life.
What's the pointin being on a "programme " if you dont enjoy it or see and feel fabulous. You dont need a sweet personnal trainer unless he /she is your partner. You need something you can do forever not a fad as part of your whole life..
