Motivation... can be derailed by success.
Three months ago I bit the bullet and bought bigger clothes. But it motivated me to get busy and get "me" back. After a bit of playing at losing weight, I got serious and have now dropped 15 pounds. I got back into my former "large" clothes. And now those are getting too big and I'm on the way to my "good" wardrobe. It's the weird phase between sizes when the one size looks loose, and the smaller size is tight-fighting and therefore makes you look worse. I mean, I COULD stay here. I'm within normal BMI and am at an ok weight for my height - but I'm still plump. So, I have to kick it up a notch, find the motivation, and get these last 10 pounds gone. I downloaded a couple programs on my phone yesterday to help me track weight-lifting. I know that is what I need to do next, so, if I track it I'll do it. So, I suppose that means I should sign off of here, and go get busy on those programs. Figure out which one is the right program for me and start working out. So... Ciao a tutti!

You are awesome LMJ and movitavtion can be a butt kicker, but you are helping motivate me by your running and now weight lifting. I really know what you mean about the clothes too us men have the same problem. Go kick some but and stay strong. :)

We're very similar in quite a few regards, LMJ. Right now, I've also reached a "normal/healthy" weight, yet still have a little more "cushion" than desirable. My larger clothes hang on me like rags, and I've yet to go buy new ones, seeing as I don't really know what weight I'll be in 2 months from now! It's a slightly awkward phase, for sure. But I think we'll both emerge triumphant in the end!

Weight training will increase your lean muscle mass and you will look smaller and wear smaller clothes...but I bet you already know that! You can do it!
