JillC878 59 Posted August 8, 2016 So i just got done workinout for the first time in weeks. I am a sweaty mess, tired, and in pain. I have Lupus and Fobromyalgia and it is so hard to workout. I just forced myself to do it today. How do you stay motovated once the weight loss slows or you have a long interruption in your routine?

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted August 8, 2016 I use audio books. I find something I really like, and then only listen to them when I work out. (I about died when I got into the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series). I'm kind of a nerd, but it works for me. It could be music, the Bob and Tom radio show, whatever works for you.

menaegle 12 Posted August 9, 2016 I watch Grey's Anatomy on Netflix while I 'm at the gym. I never watched it when it was on TV, so I have 12 season to watch and I am only on Season 2. I usually can watch 2 episodes a day. When that doesn't work for me I listen to Pandora. I stay motivated just seeing the numbers on the scale go down. I'm sore my muscles ache ansomf my joints hurt. To me though it is worth all the pain I just push through. Now, to clarify I don't hurt while I work out it's just normal aches and pains after nothing a hot shower, or soak in epsom bath can't help with. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I met Sandra Oh (she was walking thru a mall) and I nearly cried! Lol. Netflix is great. I also love audiobooks. There are tons of free audiobooks on YouTube. You can also watch WLS success videos on YouTube. Lots of different videos to watch. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowBMISleever 381 Posted August 9, 2016 I make friends with the regulars at the gym. They keep me accountable when they don't see me coming regularly. We tease each other and work out together. I like camaraderie and a little competition, so that's what keeps me motivated. I get too into the stories (Netflix/reading) which distracts me from my work out, so I wouldn't find that motivating. New shoes, work out clothes and a fresh playlist of pumping music helps too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
