One summer back in HS/college, I lost a lot of weight probably within a month without even realizing it until I returned to school. I did one hour on a cheap little stationery bike while listening to Britney then went swimming afterwards.

I still have Britney on my MP3 player but she's not as big of a motivator for me anymore. I heard she's trying to lose weight for her comeback though. Now I just listen to R&B, mostly upbeat club music to remind myself of the little outfits I want to wear out once I've lost the weight.

I have been downloading workout mixes from DJ's and have really enjoyed them. You can look under the Helath and Fitness section for Fitpod or go to Fitpod.com They are typically an hour or so long and you can choose different tempos to suit your level.

I like to work out to Richard Simmon's Sweatin' To The Oldies My MIL got me hooked, hehehe! Majority of what I listen to is PunkRock or Alternative Rock, and I find it not nearly as motivating...

Now you all know my secret! SHHH!

Although I like many kinds of music, only the tunes that make me want to dance work for me...usually pop & hip-hop..

My top picks on my MP3 player are:

Fergie - Fergalicious
Bloodhound Gang - The Point One Four
Fergie - Clumsy
Christina Aguilara - Beautiful
Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous
Missy Elliot - Work It
Nelly Furtado - Maneater
Brooke Hogan - About Us
Godsmack - I F****** Hate You
Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
Godsmack - Whatever
Tool - The Pot
Fergie - Pedestal
Korn - Ya'll Want A Single

Whenever I feel like I can't go any longer on the elliptical, I switch to Beautiful by Christina Aguilara and it usually gets me motivated again :-D

I generally have techno-ish music.. which I really don't like unless I'm working out.
Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, and Oakenfold are probably my favorites.

Something a little less main stream... but really upbeat and interesting. Bhangra music. It's a UK/British mix thing... I've heard it in Bollywood movies. Maybe I'm nuts... but at least its different

Lately, I've been listening to Nickelback. Ashlee Simpson's first cd is good as well.

I like salsa and samba with PLENTY of percussion to get me motivated. I also really like Bombs over Baghdad by Outkast
