12 Ways to get motivated to lose weight

1. Keep on saying "So That"

Ask yourself "Why do I want to lose weight" and after you come up with a reason why… Just keep on saying SO THAT.

For example - Why Do you want to lose weight…

Can you see what's happening here?

The more times you say SO THAT = the more and more motivated you'll become to lose weight.

2. Play the "If I Do" and the "If I don't game"

To Play the "If I Do" and the "If I don't game"

You're going to take 2 sheets of paper and on the top of 1 sheet of paper you're going to write…

"These are all the GOOD things that will start happening to me tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or even 2,5, or 10 years from now
IF I DO Take action now to lose weight" and…

Then you'll fill up that sheet with every single GOOD thing you can imagine that will happen in the near & distant future If You DO take action now to lose weight so for example - you'll probably write things like…

On the top of the other sheet of paper - you'll write…

"These are all the bad things that will start happening to me tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or even 2,5, or 10 years from now
IF I DON'T Take action now to lose weight" and…

Then you'll fill up that sheet with every single BAD thing you can imagine that will happen in the near & distant future If You DON'T take action now to lose weight so for example - you'll probably write things like

Once you have filled out your IF I DO & If I DON'T sheets…

You want read these sheets every 3-to-5 days but… Every time you feel like giving up on your weight loss goals or dreams to Look Good Naked – Just take 10 minutes and read your IF I DO & If I DON'T sheets and I guarantee you…

STOP & take at least 30 minutes to fill up those sheets.

3. Make a bet with yourself

You can make a bet with yourself or other people to GUARANTEE that you will lose weight & Look Good naked and…

Here's some examples of bets you can make to make sure you will REALLY want to lose weight or else!…

The more extreme the bet is or the more you have to lose = the greater chance you'll actually reach your weight loss goal and think about like this…

If there was a chance you could lose your house, your car and all your money if you did not lose 50 pounds in 10 months (which is a reasonable amount of time) then you'll probably end up losing 50 pounds in 7 months or less!

4. Make excuses to win & Don't make excuses to lose

STOP making lame excuses NOT to lose weight like…

It's easy to make excuses to lose and be a loser (and a loser is someone who doesn’t even try) but…

It's also easy to make excuses to win and be a winner and a winner is someone who gets off their ass and gives at least 1% so for example…

Use that time to Look Good Naked and…

Even if you are a single parent with 8 kids and 3 jobs - That is sill not an excuse to give up and be a loser because…

I got a weight loss plan here and a quick 10 minute fat loss workout here you can still use to lose weight and If you still don't feel like working out or if have any other excuses…

Look at Tips #1 & #2 again and…

5. Let nothing stop You From losing weight!

What's stopping YOU right now at this very moment from losing weight and looking the best you can?

Write down everything that's stopping you from reaching your weight loss goals and then beside each thing that's stopping you… Make a plan to eliminate the problem so For example…

DON'T EVER falsely believe that your genetics are keeping you from losing weight

Write down whatever's stopping you from losing weight and then STOP IT before it makes you even fatter and…

The only reason why you shouldn't lose weight is because you simply don't want to lose weight.

6. Set deadlines and then reward yourself

For example… If your big weight loss goal is to lose 100 pounds in 10 months… Then you can set 10 deadlines where you have to lose 10 pounds every month for the next 10 months so…

Let's say on the way to your big goal to lose 100 pounds in 10 months you actual lose 12 pounds in your 1st month… You can reward yourself by buying yourself a new dress or going out to a movie and please… DO NOT reward yourself by sabotaging your weight loss plan or diet by eating stuff that's going to put weight back on and remember this…

The greater the reward is you have planned for yourself the higher your motivation will be to lose weight

7. Set deadlines and then punish yourself

If you don't meet your deadlines you have to punish yourself - so for example…

Let's say you miss your deadline to lose 10 pounds a month by losing only 9 pounds… You have to punish yourself by not watching TV for a week or by not going shopping for a month and…

Along with the reward (see motivation tip #6 above) and the punishment for meeting and not meeting your deadlines…

You can be sure you'll stay highly motivated to lose weight or whatever else you set your mind to.

8. Post a Picture Everywhere

Post a picture of what you want to look like after you lose weight everywhere you can so If you were skinny in high school… Post your old high school pictures everywhere and if you always had a weight problem or if you don't have any pictures then…

9. Get a magazine and…

  1. Look at the sexy body of the person on the cover.
  2. Get a picture of yourself and cut out just the face and make sure you're smiling in the picture.
  3. Take your smiling face & place it over the face of the person on the cover.
  4. Then I want you to do something crazy.
  5. Show the magazine cover to everyone you know & tthis is how you will lookell them this is how you're going to look real soon.
  6. If you're real crazy… Tell the person you have a crush on… This is what they'll miss out on in the future if they don't start going out with you now.
  7. And if anyone gives you that Yeah Right Look when you tell them… Use that as extra motivation to prove them wrong.
  8. Make copies of the magazine cover and post it everywhere in your house and make a special note under it saying…
"I will get a sexy body just like this cover model and when I do… I will laugh in the surprised faces of all the people who said I could never look like This"

10. Hang out with skinny people

There's a saying that goes like this… "If you hang out with 9 broke people -- You'll probably end up being the 10th broke person but…

If you hang out with 9 rich people -- you'll probably end up being the 10th rich person and the same goes true for losing weight.

Hang out with just skinny people and you'll pick up on their habits for staying slim.  You don't have to dump all of your overweight friends - you just shouldn't let their bad habits influence you.

11. Talk to your future self

Imagine how good you'll look in the next 1-to-6 months from now with all the good things that will happen to you from #1 & #2 above and Every time you feel like cheating on your diet, not working out or just giving up…

STOP & Ask your future self what he or she did to look good naked and I bet you they'll tell you…

If that doesn't work…

Imagine your future self out on a date with that man or woman you always wanted to be with and ask them those same questions and…

If that doesn't work…

Go back to #1 & #2 and imagine any other favorable situation where your future self can help you give 100% & never give up until you Look Good Naked and get all the good things from #1 & #2 above.

12.  Remember the CBA's

"If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad." --Denis Waitley

"People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals / that is, goals that do not inspire them." -Anthony Robbins-

Hi Adrian, I am looking to lose 35 lbs before I leave for Florida at the end of March. I used to be extremly active and have lost the "drive" or something. I even trained and ran a half marathon 2 years ago. So I know I am capable and once I'm "there" I'm locked in, just need the right fire lit under my @$$. I am a 32 year old mother of 3, and need to get back to my former ways, maybe even my former self! I look at old pics and its both encouraging and depressing, since my "bikini" pics were pre-kids! I need to know all is not lost! Any specific regimen you would recommend??

Hi Adrian, I really like your website I'm finding it really motivational.

I'm 19 and a half and 5 ft 4 - I weigh 161 lbs

i lost 3 lbs last week, when i restarted my diet, which i'm really pleased with. Would you say that's the healthiest amount to lose a week? More, less?

I managed to lose about a stone about a year ago and now i've put it all back on and more. I'm really unhappy with how I look and i'd love to lose 20 - 30 lbs before i am 20 years old (End of May this year)

I don't know how much i am supposed to weigh, i've always been told different things, is there any way i can find out for definite given my age and height?

Thank you so much for all the information!

January 24, 2012

Adrian Bryant

Just expect to lose 10 pounds every 4-6 weeks and at the beginning you can expect to lose 3-5 pounds a week before that slows down to the normal 2 pounds a week

Also, I have a short term goal to get to 240-245 lbs by January 15. Is this possible and if so how can I accomplish these 2 goals? Thank u in advance Adrian...

This website has been a great help, I'm 17 and I weigh 188lbs and I'm only 5'6. Once I get into a diet I do well and I do lose weight easily, I have the time and the energy it's just I can never end up sticking with it. I just start working out less and eating more and I just get mad at myself when I quit. It seems inevitable and I end up starting to expect it. If I could keep it up I know I could lose the weight. I'm hoping this article will help me keep motivated. I want to lose around 34lbs and weigh 11 stone.

"but just cant stick to a diet and I hate exercising went out bought treadmill,stairclimber and a ab lounger chair and i work on them for a bout a month and they are just collecting dust"

First you must help yourself.

Collect information. First try to discover WHY you are overweight. Then WORK on those factors. Rewards are not free, you must accept that you MUST do some sacrifices.

You don't need to stick to a diet to lose weight, you need to eat the right foods and avoid the wrong foods.
