Question: What is your personal motivation for weight loss? For instance, I have a friend who loses weight 5 lbs at a time. She sets a 5 lb weight loss goal, then after she achieves that she sets another 5 lb goal. She finds she stays motivated when the end goal is "within reach." What's your personal mindset for weight loss?

Answer: Personally...its knowing that I want to be tone and have my body look more fit. This is what gets my butt do to cardio and stop snacking. I know people who have a reward system, a "reachable goal" like your friend, the simple fact that they want to be healthier. There are plenty of motivations, you just have to find what works for you.

Question: weight loss motivation? I have been trying to lose weight for a year now, I keep losing motivation! I know I can't be the only one who struggles with this. I lose motivation because the workouts get boring and the same 'ole food gets old. I would love any kind of suggestions how you mix-it-up to keep motivated on the journey we call weight loss. I do not diet, I just eat healthy, lean chicken lots of fruits and veggies etc. I firmly believe diets don't work because as soon as the diet is over the weight comes back.

Answer: I like that you are eating healthier but try and consume a few less calories each day and exercise! I am guessing you have already been doing that though. I would by a scale, its great to track progress and also just looking at your self in the mirror can help. The buddy system is also very good and will help keep you motiviated. Days when I don't wanna go lift I get that text message from my buddy saying when are we heading to the gym and then you realize that you have to.

Question: hypnosis for weight loss and motivation? does it work? only really interested in people who have seen a hypnotist for any reason, but specifically weight loss and motivation. what problem were you addressing? did it work? what did it cost? how often did you see the hypnotist? additional comments thanks everyone

Answer: Personally i wouldnt trust hypnosis however one of my co-workers has and this is what he had to say Never done hypnotherapy before but have not touched chocolate in the week I have been using it. Also, have self esteem and self confidence CDs. Found myself acting different at work. Much more confident. Must say, everytime I think about something fattening to eat I have little voice in my head telling me to go for the health option. Also, fall asleep while listening makes no difference, and I sleep like a baby and feel really relaxed. Was on sleeping tablets prior to this

Question: Weight loss motivation? I have a HUGE craving for chocolate as I'm writing this, and I need any weight loss motivation ASAP. What do you do when you're in my situation? I've already tried taking a couple of fat pictures and trying to put on my really old jeans that don't fit at all. Anything and everything is welcome! Please be quick before I crumble :D

Answer: I'm on a diet and I am a choc-aholic! In my diet Ive scheduled a break every two weeks where I can eat whatever I want. It helps. And when I get cravings, I say to myself "You've been doing very well so far Iris, keep going, only 4 days until the break" and usually that stops me from eating. When I REALLY REALLY need to eat chocolate, like when I get obsessed, then I just.. eat! Honestly. But then I eat less the day after and almost nothing before going to bed. You should really add some exercise at your everyday routine cause if you do then you can eat one chocolate per week without worrying of gaining weight. What's more you can add other stuff in ur diet that offer you the need of sweet you have, like dark chocolate or marmalade for the morning. As for motivation, well I think about a guy :$ I really like this guy and I think I have a chance with him If I lose some weight cause now, even if he liked me, I would be embarassed to go out with him cause I feel reeaaaallyy fat and he's tall and thin and gorgeous lol My motivation is also that if I lose this weight I'll get to wear the clothes I like and look awesome and stylish. Another motivation is that I'll feel good about myself and thus be more outgoing. Excuse my english, I hope that helped.
