"Sweat is fat crying."

I had a similar experience, although probably not as bad as yours, but I just stuck to my plan regardless of what anyone said because I knew once I got the results, they'd leave me alone. Talking facts and figures didn't seem to help, only results did. Just use this as extra fuel to stay committed on reaching your fitness…

Something is better than nothing. If you don't have the motivation to do a full workout, then just do half of it or 10 minutes. Tell yourself that if after you do that and you want to stop, you can without any guilt. Almost always, once I start even with the intention of stopping soon, I can't help but finish out the…

Slipping up here and there isn't going to make much of a difference, happens to all of us. However, if you use that as an excuse to continue to slip up, it obviously will. To deal with the all or nothing mentality, try adopting this new motto: Something is better than nothing. Don't feel like working out for an hour? Then…

I turn on my favorite work out song to shut that voice in my head up. :happy: You can also try baby steps such as just getting dressed, then getting into the car, and so on. Moving quickly helps too. It changes your physiology and creates a sense of urgency as well as not give you much time to sit and debate with yourself…

Yeah, I'm just starting to read about the challenge groups. Hitting fitness goals is a lot easier when you have a support group to help encourage you as well as keep you accountable. I don't know what the success rate of members on here is but I'm sure it's quite high with this type of atmosphere.

Working out at a time where you don't have to drag yourself out of bed would be easier but if an early morning workout is your only option, then I can tell you that it does get easier after a while. How long it will take just depends. Could be a month or 2 or even 3. Back when I had to work out in the morning due to…

What happened 4 days ago that made you stop doing what you've been doing for the past 5 months? As for not being able to go to the gym, jump roping can be a great exercise. :)

If you're around the Fremont area and haven't tried rock climbing/bouldering at City Beach, definitely worth checking out. I don't live in the bay anymore but used to go there all the time when I did. Great way to meet new friendly, active people who love the outdoors.

I think one thing that would help a lot is to shift from a short term mentality to a life long mentality. Many people go on diets or fitness programs with the intent of doing it for a set amount of time. What happens is that they tend to do things that just aren't sustainable and once they slip, they get discouraged and…
