Can't go by scale??
When I started really working out I initially lost a little, but then gained it all back, but still lost inches. But after about a month, maybe month and a half I started loosing weight again, and the inches were still coming off the whole time. As long as you are sticking to a good eating plan, don't worry about it. The inches are what count anyways.

Exercising Online
I love bodyrock.TV, it's a free site they have new workouts almost daily. You can just go to the site or find it on YouTube. I have found meany great workouts on YouTube in general.

A question to be answered..
I would go for some good protein. A hard boiled egg is great. Pair that with some salad, or some carrots and it's a great snack that will stick with you for a while.

loose skin
I drink lots of water, I will have to try doing an exfoliant scrub. I haven't tried any of the firming creams yet. I guess I should probably give it a shot. Thank you!

What motivates you?

At first I was motivated by the fact that I was disgusted with the way I looked & what I had allowed to happen to my body.
Then I was motivated by watching the scale number drop.
Then I was motivated by running longer than I could the week before.
Then I was motivated by lifting heavier weights than I could the week before.
Then I was motivated by running my first 5k race straight through without walking, & wondered if I could do more.

Now I challenge myself continually with fitness goals & those never fail to keep me motivated even when the scale doesn't move much. The scale can be unpredictable, fitness goals aren't. If you get a good training program & put in the work, you are basically guaranteed success. It doesn't get better than that!

I now have 7 races under my belt, & at the moment I am motivated by the duathlon, 10-mile race, & half marathon I have planned for this fall. After those are over, I'm going to have to find something bigger to shoot for. Wink

That is so awesome! I couldn't even imagine running 10 miles. It must feel great, and make you feel so acomplished! I think I am going to have to start doing some running Smile

A lot of those things you said are ways that have kept me motivated too, the scale going down is a big one. Then with fitness, realizing how much easier simple things were after I had started working out daily. Going from hardly being able to do modified push ups to being able to do 20 regular push ups, being able to actually see some muscle showing in my arms. Getting more flexible, being able to actually touch my toes! Those sorts of things definitly keep me working at it!
