any tips? i can be lazy at times and i slack alot of daily exercises mainly cos i work til late.

but do you have any tips to tell me in my mind to get ripped quick so i can stop being lazy and get bak to a ‘PROPER DAILY’ routine?

Coffee is possible but I’d like to avoid energy drinks.

I have a really small stomach and every time i try losing weight I end up losing weight from my stomach and butt. Is there any things i can do to lose weight on my thighs without losing muscle or without losing any more weight from my butt.

So, I’m ina a bit of a pickle. I generally workout 5 days a week, and have been at this for about a week or so, thus far, no problems. I’ve been exercising everyday. However, today,I’m just lacking that motivation. The idea of exercising is not very fun. Plus I’m tired. Do you think I should workout tonight or not? Also, how do you motivate yourself when you don’t want to?

I exercise somewhat but I want to exercise more. The problem is I never have enough motivation. What is a good motivational technique? I’m thinking of taking a picture of myself in a bikini and taping it next to a bikini model…any other ideas? Thank you in advance!

I heard first when you start the losing weight (diet and excercise) you first lose 8-10 pounds of water and after that you lose about 2-3 pounds a week on average. What is the process how long do you have to wait for the first 8-10 pounds of water weight? Why also after working out several months after you lost some weight nothing happens. I heard it’s called a "platue" and you have to find some way to shock your body so you can continue to lose weight. So if anyone knows please help and let me know and can you please be detailed about it? Provide me about how many months for the first sign of weight loss and so on. Thanks much!!

Logically I KNOW that exercise is good for my body and mood. There is no dispute over that fact. I cannot simply will myself to exercise — that just doesn’t work for me. Contrary to the popular Nike ad "Just Do It" doesn’t work.

I am thinking of going to hypnotherapy to help me want to exercise. What do you think about using hypnotherapy to create motivation for exercising?
@ Belle – LOL! : ) "Walking to hypnotherapy" — that really made me smile.
