Subject Description

I am new to the daily burn. I am looking to find some motivators that can help to keep me on track. I am 26 years old, getting ready to get married in April 2012. I am motivated to workout for obvious reasons of looking good in the dress, but also for myself. Before I starting dating my fiancee I was 40 pounds lighter than I am now and worked out 5 days a week. I am desperately trying to go back to the lifestyle I once knew. He has started to workout, which gives me the motivation I need at home, but I would also like to find people here that could help...people that don't know me, but are going through the same journey(weight loss) and can give good advice.

	Same boat I am almost in the same boat. My fiancee and I were both at a healthy weight over 3 years ago. We had a son, and now we've both gained around 60-80 lbs. We want to get married, but I wouldn't be happy wearing a wedding dress at the weight I'm at now. I'm also looking for a motivator! Posted by BabyAjsMommy89 on Aug. 03, 2011 at 08:51AM
	Hi, I would love to motivators with the two of you! Posted by angelicasassy on Aug. 03, 2011 at 06:57PM
	Motivation for you...therapy for me :) Hi Ladies, I would love to be motivators for you...and maybe I add a different perspective. I was just married in February and unfortunately I HATED how I looked. We got married within a month of our engagement (no shotgun baby stuff, but because of work and travel stuff, wanted to get it done right away) so I never had the chance that you had to get in shape for that perfect wedding dress. I would love to be a motivator for you and to help me get back in shape not just for the rest of my life. Isn't that the real goal? Look great in a wedding dress, but break those bad habits that come with great relationships to live a long happy and healthy life with our loved one?

	Willing to motivate... While I am not in the same boat (no dresses in the future plans), I do understand that need for a good motivator. While I have been using daily burn for the last few months, I do not have any motivators yet. I would be happy to help encourage and support if you would be willing to do the same. I know that with the school year starting, I will need all the motivation I can get to stick with my activities! Posted by christine_dietz on Aug. 11, 2011 at 07:07PM

	Let's be motivators I think I'm pretty good at motivating others but somehow still let myself slide off track. My goal now is to lose 25lbs by new years run in a 5k. Eventually I want to lose about 45 lbs total and do a 10k. Posted by babyphat on Oct. 03, 2011 at 11:22AM
	Newbie needing motivators Hi guys. I'm new to this and am thinking I need some motivation. Not from the exercise poin t of view but from the eating point of view. I want to lose 8lbs to go back to the size I was last year and go to the gym about 5 times a week. I eat a very healthy diet (i.e. meals) EXCEPT when I get bored and end up snacking of rubbish. I moved to a new city a year ago and have met noone!!! I am very much alone here so find it hard not to get depressed and eat. Basically, I need someone to motivate me to stay away from the biscuit tin! Please help! Posted by vx_sonic on Oct. 12, 2011 at 06:05AM
