What is the one thing that kills your motivation completely?

Long hours at work which results in lack of sleep.

Honestly that is the only thing for me. I enjoy working out but being sleep deprived doesn't motivates me to workout

Stress and depression and being TIRED. I still push myself when I am tired and somehow make it to the gym, and I know people say not working out or using "being tired" excuse is simply laziness (I use this excuse once in great a while, it's not a every day thing)... But there are days, when the weather is crappy, something bad happens at work/home....etc that I am just not in a mood to drive to the gym - then I just simply stay in bed and sleep.

being in crippling pain.....like I am right now....

Work, the house being in a complete state, money and the stupid snow, rain I love, best for running!

Digestive Issues and very frigid temperatures windchill below 15 degres and its blowing about 15-20mph. Glad its over with. I hope

Being sick (especially stomach issues or headaches) and getting too hungry - I'll eat ALL the food

I stress eat so I have to, have to stay busy! But my favorite excuse is well I'm getting old so I need to slow down. Of course this is a bunch of hog wash! When this happens I try to remember how good it feels to work out and do something for myself, usually does the trick to get me up off my tush.

Sometimes I think the waether. Like if it's yucky outside I feel like just getting cozied (is that a word?) up and eating some comfort food. All the snow here lately isn't helping...

Being so BROKE

For instance, I have one pair of workout pants and no designated workout clothes, really. Would I love to go get some cute workout outfits to get into the spirit? Yes. Can I afford it? No.

I want to start Shakeology because my in laws use it and I've seen a 180 in them completely since they started. Can I afford it? No.

I'd love to be able to sign up for fun 5k's and get my walk on. Can I afford a 45 dollar sign up fee? No.

BAH

seeing my scale fluctuate up/down consistently can be a huge downer....usually I just let it sour my mood in the morning and make sure I hit a good workout at night to make up for it.....brings my mood back to where it should be and I can stay focused on what I really want to accomplish. Also, if the scale is up from what I expect, I am very diligent about what I pack for lunch, so I guess it isn't all bad...

Reading things on the internet. Some people have the cruelest opinion of overweight people and it makes me feel sub-human. You would think that it would motivate...but it doesn't. It makes me feel like I'm not worth it. I know those people are anonymous jerks who don't know me, but it seems so socially acceptable. It makes me want to stay hidden in my comfort zone.

Getting sick. You don't want to go to the gym and cough all over everyone and be THAT person (or, mess up your pants, depending on the illness, lol), you have no energy to even get a workout in at home (plus you can barely breathe as it is, never mind a workout), and all you want to do is eat comfort food (especially getting over a stomach bug once you're feeling better). Takes me out of the game for a week or even more sometimes, and then takes a few more days to get back into the swing of things. Sadly, with two tiny kids in daycare, the illnesses run rampant in our house, especially during the winter. 2 bad colds/sinus infections and a norovirus so far this year have held me back quite a bit. Ready for spring!! Less sickness and more outside active time!!

People who ***** and whine about their lack of motivation and then ask other people to do it for them.

Don't be an *kitten*. There's nothing wrong with people admitting they've lost motivation and asking for encouragement.

having a plateau for 6 months is killing mine....

Dreary weather.
