I’m in need of workout motivation

Hello everyone. So I have been on a diet for almost six months now. Diet is working, slowly but working. I have lost some 6kg, goal is to lose another 10. I have an issue though: I cannot find the motivation to workout. Even tho the diet works even if I don’t exercise, doing so would not only make the whole process easier and faster but it would make me healthier and help me keep my goal weight once I get there, thanks to more lean mass. The problem is I cannot seem the find the will to stick to my workout schedule. Following the diet is easy, my doctor (I am followed by a nutritionist) is very good and has made a tasty diet that doesn’t leave me starving. But exercise is another matter entirely. I hate it, I have always hated it, I cannot bring myself to do it. I particularly hate that it gets me sweaty and I have to shower afterwards and that just takes away huge chunks of my time, especially since I have very long and dense hair that needs to be washed after a workout. Every time I attempt to resume a workout schedule I stick to it for two weeks tops and then I just drop it. I’ve tried motivating myself with pictures of what would be my ideal body, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I am also about to graduate, I am writing my thesis, I am behind with the work so everyday I find myself pondering if I should waste two hours of my time exercising and showering when I should be writing the thesis. But I also do not want to look like this in my graduation pictures, that’s my main motivation for weight loss but apparently it’s not enough to stick to my workouts. Any suggestions? How do you motivate yourself? I really need to get to it at least four times a week.

Community

Hi there!

I was wondering if someone knows some good places /apps etc. For community weight loss motivation. Like a place you can chat or post daily to keep track of your journey and hold each other accountable. I really feel like something like that would be so motivating. I really would love to start my journey on becoming healthier and feel better in my own skin. I always struggle with over eating and discipline. I feel like i started over many many times. I would love to have a community to post and chat daily.

Advice on getting though the holidays

So I started my weight loss journey around the end of October. In down about 17 pounds. So last week on thanksgiving I decided to not track calories and just enjoy the day. I also decided not to keep track the couple day after as there were a bit of left overs I knew I would be going over. I figured I could start fresh today and be okay. The thing is I found myself feeling sad about not getting to indulge in the sweets and holiday coffees/hot cocoa. Any advice for maintaining a calorie deficit without feeling like I’m missing out?

tips on getting back on track?

hi all, so i was on a weight loss journey from spring 2024-spring 2025 and i was able to go from 160lbs down to 125lbs (I am 5'1) . However, I got a job over the summer working in a restaurant, and i find myself eating the high-calorie foods there and snacking and have since gained 10 pounds. I would like to get back on track to 118lbs, which was my original goal but i'm struggling to do that. I feel like I'm always thinking about what to eat, always snacking and then feeling guilty after eating over my calories. It's also really hard when i'm constantly surrounded by food, i'm really lost on what to do. Any advice or tips is appreciated !

December - weight loss journey

I am finally starting my postpartum weight loss journey. I would like to lose 40 lbs.

I was going to wait till January but figure why not now right ? So I start tomorrow.

Holding yourself accountable this Dec?

How are you guys gearing up for the holiday season? Enough to enjoy but also not go all out. Share all your tips and tricks.

I will be doing a 24 day workout advent calender ( to stay motivated )

I actually am new to my weight loss journey but told myself instead of starting in January I should start now. So it's not too much all together and feels easier come new year.

Hi guys, new here.

I’ve always been skinny as a kid due to all the medications i was on (adhd ocd tics antidepressants appetite stimulants) and stopped taking my meds around 16/17 years old. i never dieted or watched my weight, i guess i had good metabolism. I was around 120. When i was 19 i was going through my mom and abusive stepdads split and that took a toll on me and i unintentionally went down to 93lbs. i’m 23 now and am 155 and fluctuate all the time no matter what i do. This is the most i’ve ever weighed. i was 130 when i was 20-21 and i had fallen off with my friends and that caused me to go into a depression where i would eat and do nothing for 3 ish months. i’m back in the same friend group now at 23 and cannot shake the weight off. i’m not good at keeping routine but i know that’s the only way ill see the results i want. Im female, 23, 5’4, 155. My goal is 135. Any tips or advice on how to start my weight loss journey?

Starting to lose weight. Any advice?

Hey everyoneđź‘‹ After holding it off for a while I will finally start my weight loss journey today. I’m around 6 or 6’1 and weigh around 220 but I do not look 220 at all. Most people would guess 180-200 but I don’t really work out so I don’t know how much is muscle. I am also very broad which I didn’t realise myself even after people kept telling me. I only realised after I compare myself to a door and saw I’m super big. I really don’t want to be obese, but am getting close to it.

I am shooting to be around 170 by the summer time (June) and obviously I will still continue trying to be more fit after I reach my goal. I have a plan and I want to ask if this is fine for now since I am really lost with what to work out and how much to cut without losing muscle. Anyways here is my plan:

Every day I will eat 1500-1700 (TDEE is 2400)

I will do cardio every day + workout part of my body.

Monday: Cardio + Chest, Back, Core • Tuesday: Cardio + Shoulders, Arms • Wednesday: Cardio + Legs, Core • Thursday: Cardio + Chest, Arms • Saturday: Cardio + Full-body mix (Chest, Back, Legs, Shoulders) • Sunday: Cardio + Core focus
