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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
