I was doing really great with my exercise routine right after Christmas! Then, BAM! The flu hits me. Now I can't seem to get into a groove.

    Stop waiting for the warm fuzzies and just go do it.

    I know how you feel. I have lost almost 100 pounds and now I'm in a Funk. I have a case of the "I don't wanna". I have 10 more pounds to go, but I really need to tone up.

    You can add me! I need motivation and friends to hold me accountable! You can do it! We all hit a lag you just have to get back to it!

    Just force yourself to go hard for a few weeks. Once you start seeing results again, the motivation will be back.

    I am going through the same thing. For me life got stressful and I regressed. I keep telling myself, Ok today, but then the day passes and I eat something crappy and don't find the time to exercise. I'd love to know how people have turned it around once they hit a rut.
