I have been on and off MFP for a few years now. Last December I finished my Bachelor's degree and have all the time in the world to workout. I need to get my motivation back to get back in the gym.

    You can do this. I wasted last year and gained my weight back. Then I got in a bad car accident and realized I can't continue to make excuses. Life is too precious! Now I'm motivated and ready. It's a mind thing but like to think that just a small shift in thinking can change your whole life for the better is crazy. You can do this.

    Thank you so much!!! I have been trying to find different routes to get motivated. I have a gym membership at Planet fitness and like to workout after my daughter goes to bed. The only problem is now my excuse it is too cold to leave the house. I have asked a few people if they wanted to become workout partners. This would give me no excuses not to go to the gym because I would have to meet someone there, but they have all been busts.

    My best tip. Make it a sustainable lifestyle habit. Doing less forever is better than going full blast for awhile and then flaming out. Enjoy the journey
