I know what it is like to get inspiration/motivation from an unlikely source, so let me say that you really motivate me! Your success is awesome and I hope you can find your way back. I am sure you can lose those last 8 pounds. I have recently gotten back on the WW plan and am ready to really commit. I hope I can have as great of results as you have had.

I've missed you. = )<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the small gains, but I think your jeans argument is legitimate. I always wear my birthday suit to weigh, or else it "doesn't count".<BR/><BR/>That was nice of your friends to give you a gift card in return. That's good karma working its magic.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry your motivation has waned. Maybe if you just start small instead of jumping back in full force. Sometimes I tell myself that I just have to do 15 minutes, which is less daunting, and I usually feel like doing more- but even if you don't, at least you did something and you can gradually build up.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!RooBabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856600693796324465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168443593520010995.post-77628354488048721742008-10-16T16:34:00.000-05:002008-10-16T16:34:00.000-05:00I'm glad you're back to the blog (from a lurker). ...I'm glad you're back to the blog (from a lurker). Hang in there with the motivation -- why is it SO easy to skip exercising??

I have been running and keeping the weight off, but I am in a holding pattern because of my poor diet choices. I know what is wrong and I intend on fixing it.<BR/><BR/>I think you know that my race is coming up Saturday. So I am not going to hold back for the weekend, but as of Monday I am getting back to writing it all down, tracking the GHG's and getting in the exercise. Care to join me?Matt Keelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185721103397430457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168443593520010995.post-76825897022788715892008-10-16T07:42:00.000-05:002008-10-16T07:42:00.000-05:00I struggle with motivation ALL THE TIME.

I would say that my biggest problem is thinking that I *should* spend my exercise time on my research, grading, etc... but I know that exercise is good for ME. Period. That's it.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see you back though. Been wondering where you were! And I've been buying lots of clothes from Penney's as well. I love their sales :)kikimonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03469465413114384357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168443593520010995.post-27748621701634518392008-10-15T17:49:00.000-05:002008-10-15T17:49:00.000-05:00Motivation is probably the hardest part of this wh...Motivation is probably the hardest part of this whole thing. Once I get going I'm good but getting there can be quite a struggle.<BR/><BR/>It's nice you were able to give your clothes away and super thoughtful of them getting you something you can use.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Big Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074636207863885259noreply@blogger.com
