    How badly of you want to lose the last 8 pounds? That's your motivation! B)

    And there it is. We all get the bodies we want. You want to lose? Eat less exercise more. Don't want to put the work in? You won't get the body you'd have if you did. Want to lose those pounds/kgs?
    Do what you know you need to do. Cher once said; "If it came out of a bottle, we'd all have great bodies." Your motovation is you. If it was easy we wouldn't have these conversations.

    To quote Nike; "Just do it."

    My advice. Go above 1200cal for a few days. Eat 2000 for three days. Bump up the metabolism, get some energy back into the body and then hit it hard. I dont know your exact situation...but 1200 cal every day and the gym can make for a long haul. Give your body a break, eat fatty foods(healthy fats) and get the hormones up to speed. It may sound silly...but I dounbt youve done that.

    Happened to me, too. I was a treadmill addict all spring and summer but then I went on vacation. When we got back, it was, like, BAM, summer was over, school started, my job picked up pace at an insane rate (work from home) and I was lucky to get in a couple of leisure miles on my treadmill a day or two a week. Finally, today I have a break and I found myself sitting on the couch wanting to go back to bed when the kids left for school.

    Instead, I forced myself up the stairs and into my workout clothes and I just finished my fourth mile of the day. I still don't feel into it but I feel better.

    I usually change up my exercises so I dont get bored with them. I have a wii board and play different games instead of the boring exercise.

    Yes.

    Stop yakking and just go out and do it.

    Once you get back into the habit of it you will be fine.

    pretty much

    and 1200 is pretty low. I started out at that number and was hungry and mean. LOL i found i could eat more and still lose at the same rate. add in exercise and you get even more.
