i would really like to be more healthy. you know, toned muscles, eat healthy foods, etc. the thing is, i know exactly how to do it, what foods to eat, what to avoid, great exercises, etc. the only problem is i can NEVER be motivated enough to stick to a healthy lifestyle. reading through all this health advice really gets me excited about being healthier and such, but then when i actually go try it, i am never motivated enough to follow through! any tips?
You know what, just make it fun.
I do yoga 5days a week for 1-2 hours with my best friends... and it's just so much fun because you're having a great time (laughing your asses off) and you're all working at the same goal.
Your friends will be your support group, and you know, it's better to lose weight with other sopport and people who are going through the same things as you.
My first advice is for you to get a group of friends who are interested in the long term plan of just working out and staying fit, and just set up times where everyone is free and to work out together at different houses, whenever.
You feel great after you're done, and you stay in shape. :)
Also, my friends and I have a "journal" where we stick pictures of celebrites for encouragement, yes, it sounds lame, but you know, if it works, than it works.
GOODLUCK LOVELY!
Let me know how everything works out! :)
If you have any more questions or need follow up advice, please by all means feel free to ask me.

So what you could do is keep telling yourself, confidently that you want this, and you need to work at it. And really, that's the truth. In life you need to strive for what you want, or else you'd never get it.
Keep it a constant reminder of what you'd want to look like. If you have a role model, get a picture of that person and hang it up on your wall or door. That way, everyday you'll be reminded of what you want to do.
And by the way...it's summer. You'll be seeing people on the beach who are toned and healthy. That should make you want it more. Seriously though, if you want it that bad, you'd be do everything you can to achieve it. And it does get hard because you are the only one who can make it happen. So many times we see people fail at their goals, if you were to achieve yours that would definitely set you aside from others. People would see your improvements and they could possibly follow your lead. If you know how to achieve something, you should do it! You'll be so much happier with yourself, and you'll feel like you've accomplished something as opposed to feeling like you should've done more.

You want to do it and you start but after a day or so it just goes away Put a picture of you in the mirror that shows your worse of angles and improve that and one you are looking better take your picture and do it, ut it in a mirror in which you look at evreymorning.or on a desk. GOOD LUCK!
