I need to lose 15 pounds, but can't seem to get motivated.

    We could work together at it. I would like to go down to 40-50 lbs.

    I have found that having apps on my phone that create money for me doing what I need to do holds me a bit more accountable and keeps me motivated. Plus free stuff/money.

    Apps Such as:

    Achievemint: http://tinyurl.com/y9benfov
    Get paid for connecting myfitness pal app. $10 for every 10,000 points and all you do is what you're already doing.

    Stepbet: http://step.bet/s5ah/8kjqaJ0zeF
    you put your own money on the line in a 6 week challenge to get all your steps in 5 or 6 days a week. Then the whole group splits the pot at the end for everyone who made it all 6 weeks.

    I just started Sweatcoin: https://sweatco.in/hi/erica738728
    It pays you for walking outside with your phone. I'm on day three and have almost $10 already. It pays in gift cards and other little things you can purchase through the app, but free money is free money.

    I'm certainly money motivated!!

    Not sure if any of this helps you or not, but it works to keep me motivated. In 8 weeks I've lost 13 lbs and almost 20 inches.

    First step is to change your mindset. Forget about losing 15 lbs and focus on your diet and your training program. For me, everytime I set a weight loss goal, I would achieve it and then I would gain it all back because there was nothing to work towards anymore. A healthy lifestyle is something you do forever so you will have a better chance to keep the weight off.

    I'm not saying to not have goals, you should, but whatever diet and training you look to implement you have to go into it with the mindset of can i do this for the rest of my life? If the answer is yes, that's great. If the answer is I can only do this for 6-8-10 weeks until I lose the weight, then long-term success will be very difficult to achieve. Best of luck!
