I can't keep modivated... =(

Well, I'm 18. you'd think I'd have the drive, especially as to WHY I'm loosing weight. I have a dream of getting into the US Army, but I need to loose some weight to do that. I'm getting the eating right thing, down.

Damn depression ruined me! LOL.

I sadly don't have any motivation to exercise, I put it off. A lot. My mind knows I should and there will be times, where I'm completely "WOOHOO! *workout*" but the next day, I'm all, "Eh... I'll do it later." Which I never do!... It's getting quite frustrating!

I don't know what to do, my family is very supportive in this. In fact I went to the gym with my mom not too long ago, but currently I have no passes to go and no ride to get there. Quite sad, 18 and all I have is a drivers permit. Anyway, so I'm stuck with "in house activities".... Which I can do.

=( I just can't keep myself motivated... I've lost 10 pounds already, but still... I have ways to go, to get to my OWN personal goal... Why does this always have to be sooooooo hard? Lol, it sucks.

I can stay focused on exercise myself,its hard to train yourself to do something like that. I suffer from depression and walking helps both the weight and the depression. Good Luck and keep in touch let me know how you are doing

You are your number one cheer leader. I used to do the same thing..But now when "the feeling" to take a walk hits, I slap on my shoes and go. I don't give it a second thought because if I do, like you, I'll blow it off. Like Nike say's, "Just DO IT!" And you'll find that once you get in the routine or habbit, you will actually miss it when you don't do it..That part still amazes me. I never thought I'd miss going to the gym or going for a walk. Just amazing..and not only that..it's a natural cure for depression! Yay! It's win win. Sooo..."JUST DO IT!!"
Have a great day..and don't beat yourself up for the little crap like that. You'll get there..Like the Irish say, "No worries!"
Take care and God bless!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
