Start with realistic goals and timelines. If you weigh 150#, for example, it's not very realistic after you've only been lifting for 6 mos, to think you're going to bench 300#by next month .
Keep your workouts fun/enjoyable. Change things up so you get in a rut, but don't get lazy or you won't reach your goals you set for yourself.

If you miss a goal, don't beat yourself up. When you hit a goal....treat yourself. Have a cheat meal or reward yourself with an extra day of rest so you're refreshed to go for your new goals.

Music keeps me motivated. I also love the burn during a workout and enjoy the soreness the next day, it makes me feel like I did a good job.

what keeps me motivated is staying sober from drugs.......so what if bodybuilding and aas have replace one addiction with another......i'm in much better health, i have "real" friends now, and i'm starting to build my finances/assets slowly so i have something to show for when i finally die......when i was getting high i was killing myself and didn't even know it.........so yes bodybuilding and steroids "saved my life"!!!

I get discouraged all the time, but as a whole I enjoy weight lifting so I continue it. Everyone gets bummed out time to time with things they love. Originally Posted by scout200

But if I stopped really liking weight lifting, I would stop doing it seriously. Probably cancel my gym membership and do a couple quick total body workouts a week with light weights.

A lot of reasons. The main one is because I used to be fat and wasn't pleased with the way my body looked. I wanted to get ripped and the only way to do that is diet and exercise. I'm still not ripped and I want to get ripped so I'm going to continue until I do. Although once I'm ripped I'm not going to stop. My motivation will be to not get fat again so I'll continue.

My starting motivation was that I am attending chef school in September, and I was determined to not be the pudgey scholar.
I am not positive what has kept me going, but I guess feeling better about what I eat and the new definition I can see as I keep myself active. I eat better, push myself to keep goals and am on a better sleeping schedule (which is the best part of all).Just a girl.... Looking for muscles!!

Well the most I ever weighed was 181 back in December and I recently got down to 153 so I lost about 28lbs. But with it being summer and all my diet has suffered and I've bulked up a little and now I'm at about 162. So as of now 19 pounds. Originally Posted by scout200
