  • I feel ya. Motivation is never dependable enough to count on, it waxes and wanes. It's commitment that keeps you exercising. That being said, it sounds like you're due for a change up to your routine. Time to try something new!
  • all of these suggestions have given me so much incentive! thanks!
  • Renfrew, Ontario!
  • If you're having troubles controlling breathing then you're likely running too fast. Slooowww and Steady :) Aside from that, you can get more air in if you breath with your belly instead of your chest ie as you breath in your belly goes out then as you breath out you pull your belly button in to your spine. all the while…
  • hmmm i have a samsung and i seem to remember changing something in the settings so that it will not stop on lock screen.... I agree! Holding anything while running BITES! lol
  • Honestly, the only things that help me is to drink water, keep myself busy, get up and do something, spend time on MFP reading posts in the message boards (especially success stories!), look at clothes online that I want to wear one day etc. It definitely gets easier and you'll feel much better and have more energy.

  • We are a one income family with 3 kids. My husband is a stay at home Dad, it made much more sense for him to be the at home parent because I make more money and have good benefits etc. We have 2 vehicles but one is paid for.

Nobody told me I'd look forward to getting a new license picture!![/quote] Me too! I'm getting a new picture in August!! Totally resonable…
  • oh dear lol I told myself that I actually did eat healthy and a reasonable amount and I was very active. There must be some phenomenon to explain my size? It must have been weight gained during pregnancy and now my body has adapted to and prefers that size. yes. that must be it. and now it has a "memory" of that size and…
  • I'm Canadian (Ontario) and my weight isn't on my license either
  • about a week and a half ago someone noticed that I lost weight! a true genuine "didn't know I was trying" compliment :smile:
  • What I've learned is that it isn't all about motivation. Some days you just won't have it and you find yourself chasing it like an addict looking for your next fix of it. I was having the same problem as you so I started focusing on commitment instead. It means doing what I said I would do long after the mood I said it in…
  • This is a tough one that I can definitely relate too. I keep looking for that motivation and like an addict I look for my next fix of motivation. What I'm trying to do is focus on dedication and commitment instead. Like the quote says "Commitment Means Staying Loyal To What You Said You Were Going To Do Long After The Mood…
