Cheers My motivation is that the membership cost is automatically taken from my Credit Card each month if I use the gym or not, they don't make it easy to cancell your membership either...so I've heard, so I pop in now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I refuse to go to the gym because it is ineffective. For motivation I look in the mirror .... good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Try and find a training partner and try to talk about exercise with the people around you at work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatDave Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Try and find a training partner and try to talk about exercise with the people around you at work etc. That's the best advice on here. I've been overweight all my life and the only way I managed to stick to gym long enough to swap the flab for timber was by getting a training partner. I was the one who gee'd him on in the gym when he was struggling but he had no idea how much he helped my just by being my partner and spotter. I have, in the last 3 years banged all that flab back on, but I've just joined Virgin Active in Woodseats and I'm loving the gym. Unfortunately my partner lives in Barnsley (as did I when I was training last) so I am partnerless atm. Which gym you joined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Go and buy some amazing clothes in the size you are aiming to be. Hang them up in the bedroom so you see them everytime you go in there. Set a realistic target of when you could be that size and stick to it. Take a full length picture of yourself in a bikini, print it out and stick it on the fridge door. The combination of the two should be enough to keep you going. Also, vary your training routine for better results. Your body gets too used to the same old. Good luck! PS if you are female you may not be able to lose enough weight through exercise alone, you have to eat less as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya fat *******. jb You ought to become a personal trainer. Some people will pay £30 a session for that kind of advise (I'm not joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in the wrong job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
