Motivation?

  • Hello! Starting to feel better about my health and weight loss, but there is litterarly no motivation. Could you suggest some motivational anything, but not videos, since I am not using my laptop alot. Currently, I was watching previous the biggest loser seasons. That's one inspiration. What are some more?
  • Hmm... looking at before and after pictures always helps me (of which there are TONS in the goal forum).
  • One thing I have learned is that motivation comes and goes. It is COMMITMENT that gets you to goal. Motivation is AMAZING, I am not saying don't stop looking for that motivation, I myself watch previous biggest loser season, even ones from australia and the UK, I ALSO online window shop I want to wear cute clothes.... I couldn't even buy a winter jacket this year because the weight I gained made me be too big :\. Next year I want a nice swim suit, I want a winter coat. It might seem shallow because I am doing this for my health above all, but my health isnt progress I can see all the time. I can't do hormone and metabolic panels every week, I CAN however see that clothes fit me and that I can wear heels again comfortable. I can see the number on the scale move (again shallow I know). I can see those things and those are what keeps me motivated and commited.
  • As the above poster said, clothes shopping does it for me. I haven't bought any clothing besides neccessity and in no other colors but dark, black, or purple (you know "flattering colors" for about three years (when I gained my weight). I can't wait to wear cute pastel denim, funky shirts, fun summer dresses...ahhh....
