    I used to quit myfitness pal or weight watchers if I wasn't perfect. This time it is different. If I have a bad day, learn from it and do better the next day.

    This is what it's all about!! Not quitting. Dusting off your pants and getting hopping back on!!

    One bad day, one bad week is better than 5 bad years!

    We are here for you and we've all had them :wink:

    As much as I hate to admit...excercising is my no brainer tip....just put your workout clothes in, get to the gym or wherever and once your there you WILL workout or it was just a waste of time being there and nobody likes to waste their time. I love the feeling once I've finished working out and looking at calories burned and trying to beat that number next time...competitive much?? Lol
    Yep! I have a stationary bike at home. Hubby - a counselor - told of research done on motivation - what works: plan to do your activity for 5 minutes - and you will invariably do more b/c you are there already. I have found this to work - "I am going to just SIT on the bike while I watch this TV program", my feet find it necessary to work the pedals. Great advice and proof mommymissy82 that this does indeed work.

    I agree with the 5 minute thing! It works for me!
