Tempting offer but I'm going to pass0

Well, you don't have to work out. Pay close attention to the food thing. But if you are so lazy that you have seemingly little to no motivation to do this, may I ask what your goals are, or why?0

It's your life! Take control of it.0

You can't expect others to do the work for you. We all have lives where we work 8, 10, 12 hour days and still get our workouts in. I work pipe laying, my entire day I'm running, carrying tools, or digging. The last thing I want to do is hit the gym, but if I want to achieve my goals. I know it has to be done. That is me motivating myself, so that once I get there I can appreciate the fact that I did it truly on my own.0

It's not really other people's jobs to "push you" to do whatever in life is necessary, it's yours. We're not kids anymore.0

Can you afford a personal trainer or a gym that does classes, I find if I'm booked in at a set time I'm less likely to make excuses or put it off for half an hour then another then find out I haven't got time. Failing that find exercise you enjoy, skating, walking, swimming, dancing maybe. I'm not so bad now but used to find words like workout, gym session, exercise etc used to make me switch off mentally, even though I was playing tennis, swimming and walking everywhere. Though because I enjoy the latter never looked at them as exercise.0

Wow. I thought people were on here to help each other. Thought that was why its a community. Words of encouragement... Never mind.0

"I'm too lazy to be bothered to do anything!"
"Make me do it random internet strangers!"
"Wow. I thought you'd all be more supportive of my laziness. I'm outta here! You guyz suck..."0 -
There is support..
Then this is asking someone you don't know to take time out of their day, every day, to convince you to exercise.
If you can't do it for yourself, it's not going to happen. Sorry to be blunt, but it's your life.0 -
Guess she's never had tough love before.0

Join a program that is a small group class. Often those can be very motivating. Far better than getting a "way to go" from a random internet stranger.0

Try to develop a passion for some kind of exercise. Do something you like as a base for fitness like hiking, dancing, tennis, swimming... Read the fitness forums. Psyche yourself up. Sometimes All the time, it's attitude that gives you the energy.
ETA: Get yourself to do just 5 minutes of exercise. You may find energy to continue with more work. Try a 5-min fitness blender you tube video.0 -
My guess is pretty much every one of us who is now having success has failed before and we all know one thing:
Success comes from us wanting it. While help and encouragement are nice we have the power to do it without and the power to make sure we fail with all the help in the world.
If you aren't ready, you aren't ready. If you are, you will get it done.0 -
In order to gain friends on here you have to show initiative, we're here to help eachother on the bad days, give advice, and the encouragement we all sometimes need. If you're asking for us all to message you everyday pushing you workout. It's an uphill battle soon to be lost. We've all seen it with friends and many others who attempted working out but whom just didn't have the desire and drive to do it themselves. We're speaking from experience. Do with it as you will, maybe take everything we said, push yourself with it in order to prove us all wrong.0

I'm asking for encouragement not for people to do it for me. I've been losing and I can do the food I just have a batch time worth excersise. I have a lot of personal situations and people being mean to me on here is not helping my stress and my emotions so please don't even really if you have nothing to say nice. It's erase this past of I knew how... Not sure what happiness people very by being mean to someone0

No one was being mean to you. But your original post says you're "looking for friends to motivate me every day." and "I'm so lazy".
Friends will encourage each other, especially when someone needs a little boost, but when your post's first impression is asking people to motivate you every day, it's a tall order. Many of us don't have the time, or want the responsibility, of motivating some one all the time.
There were some good suggestions, join a support group, hire a trainer, etc.
If you want friends and are motivated by seeing other people being active, then feel free to add me. I definitely support my MFP friends, but expect a daily kick in the butt from me. I can only be responsible for me.0 -
You're an adult. You literally have to figure this out on your own.0

what you are looking for is something Oprah has and something I've always wanted, a person she pays to get her lazy *kitten* out of bed/off the couch/out the door. Unfortunately I haven't won the lottery just yet. Isn't there a local group that you could join to get you motivated? A group of women looking for exercise buddies to help keep them motivated and accountable? Hell Check Facebook, there's a group for just about everything on there! Me, I learned to motivate myself....what if my husband dies....do I really want to try to find a new guy in this fat body....Nope!

You're 33, momma's not gonna hold your hand anymore. Time to start being an adult. At least part of the time.0

In your mind, picture yourself standing in front of a mirror with the body that you want, the more detailed the better, smile :-). Make an effort to think of this picture often, meditate on it while you're walking on the treadmill. If you do this often enough, you will eventually take action. I would also recommend sitting down and writing out your goals a couple times a week, be very specific on the exact weight you want to be and the date you want to achieve it.
You have to change your way of thinking, and the above will help you do so. Your results will be directly dependent on how long you actually do it and how often.0 -
The Motivation forum is where you can post like this and not get the blunt replies. Folks on the Fitness part are usually super motivated about fitness themselves, so their answers come from that point of view

And look at all the good it's done for her.0 -
Try having alopecia then go to your gym. Try working out when all you can see is people pointing at you and snickering. That has to be one of the biggest anti motivations out there. Weight you can lose, alopecia is with you for life. I have to wear hats where ever I go. I hate hats. But know what, I suck it up and get it done. If you'd like to talk about people being mean to you, shave patches of your hair out, then try to go about your life.0

OP, I'm sure you'll think I'm just a big ol' meanie, but I have to tell you:
I have been at this weight loss thing for a long time, and there's one thing I can tell you for certain: you have to want this for yourself and be able to motivate yourself, or things will not end well. Especially in the beginning: that's when you're supposed to be enthusiastic and gung-ho, ready to tackle anything.
If you come here on Day One and say "I can't do this without somebody else pushing me", then you're not ready and I fear that success is not in the cards for you right now.
Come back when you're ready and we'll be here to guide you and cheer you on. But if you want to succeed, the first step has to be yours, without a push from anybody else.0 -
@jessef593 I feel you. I don't have alopecia but lost a lot of hair from my chemo (not for cancer) and it is very obvious (I should have shaved it but I didn't) and very unruly and awkward as it is growing back. I still go to the gym (without a hat). I have Crohn's disease that causes chronic pain and a lot of awful symptoms (like accidents) and I still go lift heavy. I am exhausted and still go. I have chemo infusion and pills and basically have no immune system in order for my immune system to not attack my body and I still go to the gym. It's an incurable disease so I deal with it which sometimes means having accidents in public.0
