I lost my motivation for working out Help??? I know I'm fat. I know I need to drop some 300 pounds. I started working out, thought I was doing good, but then just lost my motivation. I'm disgusted with how big I am, and I want to drop the pounds. But I also have no motivation to work out. I'm very, very much out of shape, I can't afford to join a gym, I live over 30 miles from a YMCA, I live on a 2nd floor apt and can't do jumping jacks cuz it would sound like a herd of elephants to my neighbors. I can't do push ups, crunches or sit ups cuz first I'd never be able to get back up off the floor if I ever made it to the floor to begin with. There's no place to go walking here either. There's no sidewalks, no parks, nothing to walk to and from. I don't own a bike. Besides, I'm too fat to get on a bike, and I'd never get it up and down the stairs. Speaking of walking, I get all hot and sweaty and out of breath just walking from my apartment to my car and back. How can I get motivated again?

I can't afford to buy clothes that fit me, let alone clothes that don't fit me!!! I eat at home 99% of the time. I don't have the money to order pizza/eat out. I don't go anywhere that involves taking elevators. I would take the bus more, but the nearest bus stop is 2 miles away and starts running at 8 in the morning and stops running at 7 and doesn't run on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. I can't take the bus because it's just to dam far too walk. I don't eat out. I eat healthy, that part is no problem. I'm working on cutting out more sodium. The people I know who need to loose weight don't care/don't want too. I'm the only fat person among my friends who actually wants to loose weight. Everyone else I know who works out all the time is skinny little things that can do circles around me. I eat a lot of salads (with oil and vinager or no dressing!) and lot of fruits and fresh veggies, nothing canned. I eat 5 oz of meat at dinner, and watch everything else. I need help getting back on track, I need ideas?

  1. First you have to know that 3500 calories equals one pound. If you get your bmr online then eat less calories then it says then subtract that amount from it you will get your daily deficit of calories. Now how many days until that deficit equals 3500? This will tell you how many days until you lose 1lb. For example My BMR is 1772 but I eat 800 calories a day. So I subtract 800 from 1772 which gives me 972. Now I muliply 972 and 4, which gives me 3888. So I know every 4 days I will lose 1lb. But, I do the eliptical everyday and burn 400 calories from that which cuts my 800 calories down to 400. So, I anticipate a 1lb weight lose every 2 days.
