http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/260/subjects/2413 <p>So, I'm 200lbs... and 6'9", which still leaves me skinny as hell.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I've joined gyms a few times with the goal being "gain ten pounds of lean mass", and almost always lose my motivation soon after 10-15 lbs; gains come very, very, very slowly.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The two things I've done to stay motivated successfully have been:</p><ul><li>Train for an event, whether it's a 5k, triathlon, or anything, really.</li><li>Measure success by how much I can lift (dumbbell press, squat, and row), and not by any weight change.</li></ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyways, what keeps you motivated?&nbsp; I just rejoined a gym after I ducked under 200 lbs, and really need some inspiration on this one.<br /></p> en-us
