Just think of how your health will be improved, and how great you will look!. What I did was I brought a pair of really nice trousers one size too small, and gave myself a target to fit into them in a months time or something, and because of how much I really liked the trousers it made me want to lose the weight!. I find also that if you keep a food diary, it helps you monitor your diet and can help you figure out things that could be changed to improve your diet!. If you just keep going, you will get the results you deserve!. Trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here's a quote from the one and only Michael Jordan about how he motivated himself after he didn't get on the high school team:
"Whenever I was working out and got tired and figured I ought to stop, I'd close my eyes and see that list in the locker room without my name on it," Jordan said, "and that usually got me going again!."
It was inspirational to me when I read it!. I have used that method a few times and it has worked!. So just picture yourself how you want to be in the future, and tell yourself that without the time, you won't get the results!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get with a friend or family member and make it a competition!. Set a goal (always make sure your goal is reachable) in other words, set it for a short period of time!. i!.e!. I want to loose 10 lbs in 3 months!. That is a reachable goal, with a short time frame!. Never set a weight loss goal for over 6 months!. You will never do it!. If you have to set one for ever 2 weeks, I will loose 5 lbs in 3 weeks!. That way you are REALLY motivated!.
Join a gym with a friend so you have some support while working out!. Write down all your goals and post them somewhere that you will look at them everyday!. Good luck!
(p!.s!. for every 1 lb you have to burn off 3500 calories!. Don't stress about that number if you break it down into 5 days thats 700 calories a day!. Remember you burn calories but walking and standing up as well so you dont have to worry about working off 700 calories on the treadmill! :D)Www@Answer-Health@Com
