Forum: Motivation

ive been frustrated as of late and my body is starting to feel flabby all around due to the lack of excercise and constant junk food eating. every now and then I also smoke some pot which im sure makes things a lot worse. I think I have gained 4 pounds or so..but i am small in terms of muscle,...

I wanted to share my story a bit in the hopes it may motivate others that are in need of a little inspiration. Age 30 for me was not my pinnacle and definitely not my re-emergence into something better. I felt like a 60 year old man trapped in a tired broken body, ready to rest. My knees were in...

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=117014251 So basicly, i`m the best look of my life so far. First time i see abs on myself. Yet my motivation to go run, go to the gym or eat healthy is like ahhhhh **** it. I still refuse to drink juice, but eating a jr chicken at mcdonalds came...

Anyone else felt the same way? I mean, I look pretty good and well-built at home but when I enter the gym and look at myself in the mirror, I feel like I've shrunk. Now it's not because there are huge guys like Ronnie Coleman in my gym; most guys are my size or smaller than me. It does...

Does Height affect any 1 elses mood. Like im 5'8 and when I see a dude at 6'0 or even 5'10 come next to me on a machine and we r prbly at the same mass weight size w.e u wanna call it but he looks so much better cause of his height. It just puts me in a down mood for awhile. Makes me start saying...

Ok so in this thread we will write a letter to ourselves about what we accomplished and what we want to accomplish in the future. Start with "Dear Me," then go write away! People can use your letter to motivate themselves but the main purpose of these letters is to motivate the writer. Whenever you...

Its been my dream to play in the NFL but its really hard work and I have no gym to go to anymore because my parents refuse to pay and they wont feed me enough to gain weight, they only feed me once-twice a day... I talked to coaches at Udub and they had a scout looking at me even though im too...

So, what causes you guys to lose your motivation to work out? I figured we could all list some things and find some solutions. I worked out for 6 years straight. Was doing good, imo. Especially when I could save up to buy more weights. I was repping 280 pounds 5 times. Not bad for me. ...

Ive got the motivation to burn fat / gain muscle but I cant seem to resist food. I never miss my workouts (currently 3 times a week) and I'm doing cardio pretty much everyday but when it comes to my diet I just fold. Is anyone facing similar problems and can anyone give me some advice on how to...

So I have been going at this for basically 7 months, the most i missed was 5 days in jan when i hurt my back a bit. Other than that I never take off more than 2-3days in a row. 3 days or even 2 of sitting at home doing nothing make me feel like a complete piece of crap, I literally can't wait...

I've been doing weights (starting strength) since the start of March and today is surely my worst workout ever. I increased my squat since last time so I thought I had gotten off to a good start only to discover I could only manage three reps on shoulder press with the weight upped from last time....

Ok so we all get short lay-offs from the gym, whether it be a lack of motivation, illness, holidays, prison, getting lost in the desert and so on... What gets you back into the swing of things? routine? kick up the arse? coming to the motivation forum on BB.com?!

Im still a newbie in this forum but i gotta say all these people in here inspire me!!!!!! thanks for all ur threads!!! My motivation is basically all the help I get from family and friends!!! Especially when they see me and don't recognize me any more i went from 185 to 140 and when my family and...

HELL YEAH! If you love the opposite sex as much as I do, DO WORK it pays off! Anyone else feel the same way?

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm looking for motivation to stick to my fitness goals. I have an IFBB Pro as my trainer, and she suggested I join a forum to stay motivated. She is putting me through a 12 week transformation. I'm on week 10 and because of my own lame excuses I'm not where I should...

who think it's kinda unfair that a person 6"2 won't look big at all at 180lb but a person who is 5"8 will look HUGE? is it easier for shorter people to bulid up as well?? oh ya I'm 6"2, sometimes I wish I'm just a little bit shorter.

Growing muscle mass is what gets me into the gym, so here's my problem summed up from my bodyspace: "Goal (Long): To learn how to clean bulk and then manage my BF% with control and less hassle. I've tried low-carb, HIIT, LISS etc. but I am having very little luck. Cutting is by far the...

It's not about going all out when you feel like it. There's a lot of times when it's seriously not any fun, it can even be painful, overwhelming and draining. A lifestlye is not something you can turn off real quick becuase it's suddenly got hard or not fun. Every meal, every rep, and every minute...

Hey, any of you guys know of any software that "chooses" a video, story, image, something like that, one per day, every time i turn on my computer? If there's something like that, that i can add my own images, texts, etc, it will be a great tool for motivating myself and remiding me of my own...

Ok, I'm sure everyone is motivated to lose weight, but what got you really motivated? I know I'm motivated by getting in shape and having it pay off in the end, but what really got me motivated is what happened last night. I ended up going to the club last night to put an official end to the...
