I actually avoid my kitchen now lol</p> <p>I also sometimes watch the "good" tv shows at the gym.&nbsp;My friend disconnected her&nbsp;cable &amp;&nbsp;only went to the gym to watch tv &amp; she lost 30lbs. She's my inspiration :) She saved money &amp; lost weight. Incredible. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-to-get-your-butt-to-the-gym#post-448508 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:55:06 +0000 CupcakeSprinkles 448508@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm lucky enough to have my dress already -- so whenever I feel my willpower sliding, I go in and look at my dress.&nbsp; Also?&nbsp; If I don't lose 20 pounds, it won't fit, so that's a big, big motivator!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA:&nbsp; I'm now a Worker Bee! Woot!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-to-get-your-butt-to-the-gym#post-448478 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:48:54 +0000 catlady 448478@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Good question!&nbsp; I find it harder to get my butt to the gym especially with the weather getting colder.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-to-get-your-butt-to-the-gym#post-448088 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:35:25 +0000 ProudPeacockBride 448088@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>As wierd as this might sound, it works for me! I have pics of my fiance's fave girls (more or less fantasy people like some of the Victoria's Secret girls and some famous actresses, people my fiance' finds very attractive). I have a few of those pics on my computer and I have a few posted around my workout area. My goal is to make him happy, to be HIS fantasy girl. So that really motivates me to get my butt into shape!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-to-get-your-butt-to-the-gym#post-448048 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:23:04 +0000 hotchildinthecity 448048@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@Soon2BeMrsWheeler: Thanks!&nbsp; I'm kind of nervous.&nbsp; Running 6 miles tonight and adding a mile every week until Christmas!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-to-get-your-butt-to-the-gym#post-448045 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:22:04 +0000 Soon2bMrsWheeler 448045@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>OOO yeah hungry is always a big excusse why i dont go .
