Title: Are you motivated to loose your winter weight yet?
Post by: mcwhinery on February 07, 2013, 02:30:51 pm: I have gained 15 pounds and feel horrible, but yet don't have the desire to do anything about it. Any suggestions as to what can help get me motivated any? My husband is completely fine with the way I look, but I think I look awful. I'm just always tired and lathargic!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

That is why they call it self motivation. But I do 12 minutes of exercise each and every morning to get my brain working 33% better. Some times I workout longer. I do work out five night per week as well but then I feel lazy at times. So night workouts all depend on my mood and self motivation.

I've been exercising regularly for the last year so that helped minimize the holiday weight gained and I've already lost it by going back to my regular rountine

I am almost 42 years of age and I am also working on losing weight. you have to work harder at it in the winter time than any time else. there are warm days in the winter and they would allow you to get some walks in.

My suggestion is maybe get a workout buddy to help hold you accountable. And schedule your workouts around your life like you would any other activity so it becomes routine.
