Find a picture of someone who is thin but toned . Go through magazine's. Hang that picture on a wall of your place that you mostly stay in. Each time you see this picture it might motivate you to start exercising. I don't go to a gym but i'm skinny too. But toned.
Good luck.

The best way is to get an exercise buddy. If you have a partener to go with you, you're more likely to stick with the exercise routine. Also, plan out a little reward system for yourself...If you exercise 10 times in two weeks, go buy yourself a new shirt, or a trip to the spa, whatever you like. That way you have a little more incentive to reach your goal.
Good luck!

Sorry, with all these great answers I guess I haven't got a chance for the 10 points.
I'm so unfamiliar with the gym, I call it "James".
I was going to do a sit-up, but the summer just got away from me.
My wife got an exercise bike and wanted us to exercise together....so I got a sidecar for it.
I could get in shape if it wasn't for that darn commitment
I can resist anything but temptation.
The biggest problem is everything that is bad for you is so tasty.
Good luck

Hi
This plan helps me stay motivated so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx
Good luck

Check out the book Toning for Teens, I highly recommend it.

Talk with a friend and try using the buddy system. You can both work out together and help motivate one and other.

Go shopping and buy a dress you really want but knowing it will look even better IF you were tones up, or same thing but a swim suite.

Find something to do that you find interesting. Instead of hitting the treadmill, take up a sport. If you like people, pick a team sport; if you like the outdoors, pick and outdoor sport; if you like pudding, wrestle; etc.

choose something that you really want--a new outfit, new cd, new purse, etc. each time you work out, put some money into a jar. the more you exercise, the sooner you can get your prize.
