Motivation?

Question

I need to drop about 40-50 pounds. I have never really dieted seriously or ever had an exercise program. How do I find the motivation to get started and to continue once I get going? Where do you all get your motivation?

Answer 1

I would think of the changes my life would take with a health body weight.To help stay motivated do ot weigh yourself daily.Keep in mind that success is sometimes measured in baby steps and that a slow and steady weight loss is healthier for you.To stay motivated keep in your thoughts that you will be addinng time onto your lifeline with better health.You are worth the effort.Speak to your doctor about how to achieve your weight loss goals in a safe and healthy manner.My sister lost about 50 pounds about 4-5 years ago and has successfully kept it off.She said it requires a lifestyle change not a quick fix.She did it and you can do it too......one day at a time.Maybe start in the new year as you may find it difficult to start at this time of year.You could also ask your friends and family to support your through this journey .Good luck.

Answer 2

I get motivation from looking at old (skinnie) pics of myself or watching a good diet story on tv. Hang in there!!!!

Answer 3

Looking in the mirror. Imagining what you would be doing or wearing if you were thinner. Actually, the only concern you should have, is your health. Join Weight Watchers now.

In the fact that I feel and look great, do it for you man, only you can lose it and you get the most out of it!

Answer 5

take it slow and don't weigh yourself every day- it'll just discourage you.Instead try every week. Take pictures of your progress and you'll be sure to be motivated.Hope I helped.
