get you boyfriend slapping your butties baby!!
Man you’re fat!!!
Just think, Do I want to be with a hot guy, or just some fat slob like myself? Takes a trim person to attract a trim person.
get a couple sessions with a personal trainer.. that’s what i did… at GoodLife, with a membership, it’s about $25 and without the membership it’s about $35
and to get rid of the excess fat around your hips and tummy.. ab exercises will bring that down more
try to get a friend to go with then you can motivate each other good luck
strip naked look at your thick but and see the wrinkles from your thick butt. Now imagine it being a saggy thick butt that you think looks nice ut everyone else is forced to see when you wear short and or a bathing suit and you walk around confidantly thinking you look good and everyone else is commenting on your cottage cheese saggy bottom.
sorry best motivation I could come up with. It works for me.
Find a friend that also really wants to work out. Have a set schedule of times to meet up with your friend at the gym. The earlier in the morning the better, because you can’t back out on each other. This way your friend is counting on you to be there and to stay there and work out with her for the allotted time.
It has worked for me.
get an mp3 player i cant work with out music… change up your workout. i do 3 days a week weights, and i swim 2 days a week, and power yoga is soooo good for burning fat, and makeing you lean and long, and elegant… good luck!
I would recommend going to a gym that is open real early so that you can get in your workout before work. Much better than trying to wind down late at night. you go girl / by the way whats wrong with big behinds? Jennifer Lopez does just fine.
24 lb thats great good job
what you need to do is check your body fat and find out how much body fat you have and how much muscle then you could set a goal for your self. if you do it right you only need to train 30 min a day 4 times a week.
Good luck

Just look at your better reflection at the mirror… you had that hotter bod after hitiing the gym relentlessly. That would be a better motivation for you to hit the gym again.
OR you may try this, I use this kind of torture for myself so that I’d be obliged to run my miles and hit the gym…. I’d buy myself a new outfit that is a size smaller than my actual size… I’d love to be in that outfit that I’d be motivated to shed my unwanted weight. This tactic worked for me.
Well, im not trying to scare you but motivation that is great is that you could get diabetes, heart problems, back problems and much more from being over weight, so if you want to look good and be healthy then get you flipping butt to the goddamn gym!!! lol.
How about think something you always wanted to do,or something you always wanted to wear.
Maybe even think of some of the people you want to prove wrong like that jerk who anwsered and said you was really fat.What a jerk.
save your gas & money at the gym.Get a decent mountain bike($500 range) put on your walkman or MP3, riding in place sucks, do your leg lifts -crunches…etc…in the comfort of your home. get also some one handed barbells for your weights..low carb diet to keep the weight off…by the way.. congratulations.
Well first of all, you should pat yourself on the back for losing 24 lbs! Losing weight takes alot of effort and I don’t think it matters if your goal is 5, 10 or 50 lbs…it’s all relative and we all need major will-power to stay motivated.
I’m actually on a ‘break’ from working out. What always seems to get me back on track, is thinking….’wow, if i had been working out this last month or so, I wonder how much i could have lost – or how much better i’d look!”. Set a short term goal too…a really short goal like, ‘by next weekend, I want to have worked out 4 times, or walked 6 miles…ect’
Also, start eating better. I think that diet and excercise truly go hand in hand – and one should motivate you to do better with the other.
Hope it helps..good luck!
Keep in mind if you are not pleased with yourself you need to keep going! If you don’t get back in the gym you may gain it all back especially if you are back to old eating habbits which mean you may gain it and more back. Last, your health is a life long committment to eating right and excercising so if you don’t get back you could shorten it by not respecting that principle. Also your body becomes accustomed to the stress you put on it so that walking may not last for long in keeping the weight off. Finish what you started gal! Make us all proud! You can do it! *does highschool cheer* You can do it! ch ch ch–ch ch ch! LOL
Find out if any of your friends have a membership to the same gym you go to, and then make a plan to meet up with them there.
That way, you will have to go to the gym or risk letting your friend down.
This only works though if your friend is really interested in working out.
Or, take a class at the gym that you have to pay for. You will be motivated to take the class since you paid for it.
You could also try recording your gym sessions and how you feel afterwards. When your feeling lazy, read your entries. You will be motivated by how you felt after the gym.
Hope this helps.
