    You don't want it bad enough. If you truly deep down wanted it then you would do what you have to do. That is as close to yelling as I get. Make it a priority and the lbs will follow.

    That's not fair to say. I was like her and really wanted to change myself but I was so unhealthy and lazy that I just couldn't motivate myself to get my *kitten* up work out and the craving of fast food was so bad that it really was an addiction. After having my sister who lost over 40lbs yell and FORCE me to start my journey, it's been 2 months and I have not fallen off my rhythm. We all just need a little push and motivation to start, we may hate the person who is helping us but after a while thank them!

    I find that unless there's money on the line I'm not really motivated. I work out with a personal trainer once a week. Since I"m spending money I give it my all b/c I want my money's worth. Maybe this might work for you too. Although currently I've been attending some of the free classes at my gym of my own volition. Basically I"m paying to be motivated where as I typically would lack the will power to follow through.

    ADDING YOU!~we can be a motivation to each other

    TODAY - DAY 1
    IF YOU'RE AT HOME WATCHING TV - TURN THAT NASTY DISTRACTION OFF AND GRAB YOUR PHONE AND HEADPHONES TO GO OUT FOR AN HR WALK WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC. (starting small was the key for me). - If you're able to run ... RUN! lol
    DRINK 1 L OF WATER BEFORE YOU EAT LUNCH! - Drink another 1L of water from 1 - 4pm
    IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO IN THE AFTERNOON GO OUT FOR ANOTHER WALK/RUN :) OR DO A AT HOME WORKOUT.
    IF YOU'RE SITTING AT HOME DOING NOTHING DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE - Clean your bathroom, clean your house/room, that always gets me sweating lol


    BIGGEST KEY - TAKE THIS ONE DAY AT A TIME.

    Hey, there! I'm new to this weight loss thing and I was also SOOOOOOO very lazy it was completely ridiculous! It was so bad that I would drive around Walmart trying to find a close parking spot or have my bf drop me off at the door to keep from walking!

    When I went on vacation and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I knew it was time to GET UP and do something! I cut out all soda, fast food and started eating healthy --- I JUST DID IT! No more excuses ... just made my mind up and did it. I've even started walking and the pounds are starting to fall off! Once these horrifying shin splints go away, I'm going to try running again!

    You look very young ... start it now so you don't have to struggle with it at 41 like I am.

    Just get up and do it! You'll be happy you did!

    Just ask yourself why would you put off making yourself healthier and happier? the time it takes to do it will pass anyway, why not use it to get what you want by the end of it?

    I find that watching videos of people lifting badass amounts of weight on you tube, and/or listening to upbeat music helps me to get motivated to start working out. California Strength videos are particularly good (combination of really impressive lifts, upbeat music and humour, plus it has that kind of camaradarie atmosphere to it that people go to stuff like crossfit for... which is totally lacking in a home gym which is what I have...)

    if you're not into lifting, watching videos of the kinds of workouts you do may be an alternative

    You have to do it yourself. You have to do the work. No one can make you do anything.

    Just think how much *harder* you'll have to work tomorrow to either lose weight or get some level of fitness if you don't start today.

    Look at this way, if you start today, you can both work out and be lazy.

    Win win.

    OK....

    Here is how I yell at myself:


    When I am sitting on my butt not wanting to be disciplined and do what I have to do,

    I just think of those poor runners and bystanders who were injured in the Boston Marathon Blast.

    That vivid picture helps every time.

    We are so luck and we just piss away our opportunities!

    I'm sorry, nobody can do this but you.
    If your own motivation isn't enough, it won't happen.


    Shout at yourself.
