Just need a kick here!
 

I just need a little input and motivation!! :^:

I've lost quite a bit, but I feel like i'm at somewhat of a plateau here! In the last month I havent exercised nearly enough! And hardly at all really!! :( But with starting the college semester I just dont feel like doing anything! And I feel like crap because of it! Exercising makes me happier, but I just have so much to constantly think about that i'm not exercising enough.

I'm lucky that i've managed to stay at 170! (one of my last posts was 8/31 and I was at 172!)

I just need a friendly.. push. :p

Well :kickbutt: that's as close as I can find...LOL

Motivation comes from within. Maybe go to the mall and look for the perfect holiday outfit. That will sometimes help me get motivated..:hug:

Might it help for you to consider how exercise can help you do well in class?

I find that my homework gets done much faster and I retain it much better if I do it just after my workout.

Hey Lunabelle! :wave: Now look chica, you're in school, and that's just like having a job, isn't it? Or if you work as well, you've got two jobs! :faint: So no wonder you're feeling stressed.

So--use some organizational strategizing. If you worked full time, like a lot of us 3FC-ers, and had a family to look after, you'd still have to find a way to eat right and fit in your exercise time. :yes:

You have a class schedule, so put your exercise time in there as well--even if it's just walking from one class to another, or going for a jog at lunch, or going to the gym in the afternoon, or doing a workout video in the evening--you can always fit in half an hour somewhere. :drill: Now you know you can, Missy! :drill:

We're rooting for you! :cheer2: Hang in there!

find a workout partner at college and motivate each other

Thanks for the input guys! I appreciate it!!

and yes I do work and go to college, plus the DBF makes it like have THREE jobs! LOL

You can do it!!! I'm a college freshman, everything is strange and new here, and I'm managing! So can you! You've got experience!
I think you need a few more exclamations!

!!!!!!!!!!i!!!!!!!!!

I also go to school, but I'm not taking a full load, and I have a husband and 6 year old, so I know what you mean to a smaller degree. I have to cook two meals, one for them and one for me, and I do ok at that. But your looking for motivation to work out, if you find it, pass it along to me because that is my biggest problem. I hate doing it. and when I get done, I am starving and to me that defeats the purpose if I am going to eat right after. I decided to do my cardio for twenty minutes after I take my son to school, and before I have to go to school. I find doing it in the morning, seems to really help. but everyone is different, but try it. your the most awake then too.

Hey sh3l5, wow, that's a lot! :faint:

So another strategy might be--try not to overload yourself so much that you have no time for yourself.
