Motivation or lack thereof



Recommended Posts

I am having issues with the motivation to exercise. What does everyone do for motivation to keep exercising? I am a year and a half out and looking to try and tighten up some loose skin in my belly com thighs! Anything helps!

good music will put you in the mood. My brother lost 115lbs and was real thin but was flabby he started a kenogenic diet and in 1 month his transformation has been huge. Set short term a goal and get r done nothing better than seeing the results of hard work

I agree! Music can def help. I also like to look at celebrity weight loss transformations!

Music can provide motivation once you are at the gym and in the middle of exercise, but it won't do much to get your butt in the gym. Getting to the gym takes determination more than motivation.

That's the thing I have already lost 118lbs. Most of the extra weight now is just the loose skin. I am at a healthy BMI. I am 5'3" and 139 just lack the motivation and anytime I set a date to start exercising again I get super sick and can't

There is no exercise that will tighten skin. If that is your motivation, I hate to be the bringer of bad news.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
