I have lost 13.5lbs so far since 1st January 2013 but my weight loss has slowed down now.

I dont seem to have much time to exercise (I could MAKE time, but I just cant find the motivation!)

I was doing pretty good, then had a few day set back. Started back on track this morning. Feel great today!

Pinkie- finding motivation is hard. There are several "tricks" though. What helps me:

Workout right away in the morning. I literally roll out of bed, put on my sports bra and tennis shoes and get my workout in.

Some say going to bed in your workout clothes (obviously this works with the above)

Get yourself going simply by going through the process of putting on your workout clothes. Some say that by the time you get your clothes changed you will feel like working out.

I actually schedule my workouts and have the calendar hanging in my workout room with 3 pictures below it of women I aspire to be like.

Just a few tips. Hope you find that motivation!

Down 15.8lbs as of this morning

I have been doing the Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred videos (free on youtube) and the workouts are intense, but only 25 minutes long! You can't make any excuses for not being able to find 25 minutes If you'd like you can check out my pictures on my profile. the last one has 3 body shots. the middle and one to the right are only 7 days apart. the day i started the 30 day shred, and yesterday! not a HUGE difference, but you can definitely see! and i still have 23 days left

I LOVE Jililan Michaels and her 30 Day Shred! Its so great the videos are free on youtube and I use them to supplement my other workouts so I don't get bored and also use them when I feel like I'm really short on time! Jillian has a "NO BS" attitude and I love that, it has definitely helped me to stay on track!

Congrats on your success! Stick with it and anything is possible!

down 18lbs! I'm about 6'1, 6'2, so my ideal weight would be between 180-190. I was never a big guy, that is, until I finished university. you don't realize how much an office job affects your body and weight. I used to party hard and my weight slowly started to show it. beer and bad food was a daily diet for me. I gained the typical "frat" style look. thin guy with a beer belly. after I graduated in 2009 I went straight to an office job. McDonalds and other fast food places were an easy fix. by 2011 I shot up to 266lbs. I find I tend to yo-yo with diet and exercise. I'll go on these hardcore phases where for 2 weeks straight ill hit the gym, and eat proper, then a weekend hits, a friends B-Day, bad food and alcohol. then boom back to slacking off. I also had a girlfriend (so lets face it, significant others rarely call you out on stuff like that, so it pretty much went unnoticed) so between summer 2011 till new years of this year I bounced around the 220s (I managed to shed the extra weight by exercising somewhat regularly and trying to cut my fast food runs). I've never been happy with the outcomes (as like everyone, I want instant results). by new years I was back up to 222 (I live in Toronto but my family lives in Dallas TX, so I spent Christmas there. bad food and the holidays shot me back up to 222). I'm on a mission now to tear it up for the summer! as of right now I'm sitting at 203.5. I would HIGHLY recommend the Jillian Michaels 7-Day Metabolism Kick-Starter for anyone serious about loosing weight. I was 210.5 on Friday, its been tough but I haven't cheated once! (I almost ate a banana on Tuesday. that's how you know its a tough meal plan....when you try and cheat....with a freakin banana ) and I'm on the last and final day! all I need is the proper support group! all my friends are still drinking and partying so it really doesn't help me at all, so anyone looking to help, feel free to add me! chirp me when I go over my daily goal, or if I don't log in I'll take whatever I can get! 185 by summer!

Hello all I've lost 10 pounds since January but now I seem to be stuck =( I did have a few set back days, eating to much of the bad not enough of the good, but i'm getting back on track!

I weighed in at 200 this morning. I've been getting down on myself recently because I've gained 30 lbs since I got married last year (on the 28th!), but my wife and I are starting to make the changes necessary to get back to where I want to be!
