I'm calling out for some motivation friends. Haven't worked out in days due in part to ovarian pains and in part lack of interest. I'm a dog walker, so getting about a solid hour of walking in today, but could use some motivation getting my tush to the gym for some weights. I've taken it easy for days (still walking/ working), but can't seem to dig deep lately. Please send your most motivating line. Thanks all!

Its better to look back on life and say: "I cant believe I did that" than to look back and say: "I wish I did that".. There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.0

This is so corny (it's from The Biggest Loser) but it works for me. What have you done today to make you feel proud?0

False. The motivation of those who chose to reply and send positive, encouraging thoughts did have an effect. Thanks to all you who shared mantras and quotes and compliments. I really do appreciate it and have towed myself to the gym, where I currently am. Being a badass isn't going to happen on its own. Back to it!0 -

Yup.0 -
Only you can motivate yourself. Do you want a better life or not? If you do then get off your butt and just do it. The first step is the hardest but gets easier the more steps you take.0

If you need someone to treat you like crap to motivate you, go watch anything with Jillian Michaels in it.
I'm one of those weirdos who can self-motivate.0 -

Love these and "I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it" is one of my favorites!0 -
It doesn't actually matter whether or not you feel like doing it. You do it in spite of not feeling like doing it.0

So I find a lot of the mentality around "if you really want this, you'd already be motivated" to be ridiculous. Is it a crime to need support in what is a physically and emotionally trying journey? Everybody loses motivation at times and like one poster said " you do it anyway". Totally. And I don't "need" anyone to treat me like crap to accomplish my goals. I've already hit my goal and did so without ever truly being overweight, but because I desired better health and a trimmer physique. I'm plenty capable and aware of this as I sit 17 lbs lighter.
Here's an idea: if you have nothing helpful to add, comment elsewhere. Thank you for all the feedback otherwise. I really appreciate the majority MFP members and support.0 -

I have kids older than you.
I had open heart surgery seventeen weeks ago.
I still hit the weights three days a week.
I still run five days a week.
You really want to be out-worked by my old *kitten*?0
