What motivates you?

Question:

I am in need of modivation to work out. Not that I am a lazy person. I do mild walking and such, but If I worked out as much as I think about it I would be a size 2 which I am not. I just don't want to be overwight anymore and diet pills are not the fix I am looking for. What works for you?

Answers:
Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Support from a friend and doing something you enjoy. I too am over weight and just recently found a friend to go workout with. We keep each other going.

go and buy you a really nice outfit that is a size or 2 to small.spend some money on it now. and hang it in your room.take a pic of it and hang the pic on the fridge and the junk food cabinet.put a pic in your car.that way when you are in your room just lounging, you will look at it and want to wear it and you will work out and then you will see it on the fridge and go for water and not soda.it's a start so you need motivation

I am a believer of GI diet, meaning low carbs foods.
