motivation

shelley316 Posts: 6 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/03/01, 03:52 PM I am a new member and I am searching for some motivation. Someone to help me to become accountable for doing or not doing what i need to do for my fitness goals. Is there help out there?

shelley316 Posts: 6 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/03/01, 04:02 PM Thanks for that. I know I should be accountable. I guess what i meant is just having someone here to discuss what I should be doing to accomplish my goals. Thanks again.

shelley316 Posts: 6 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/03/01, 08:23 PM Yes. I have done so recently. My eating habits are good. I have stuck to my fat intake. Protein is hard. It seems I have to cut out a meal to get the protein I need from bars I cant drink the shakes they make me feel too full they make my stomach ache. Any suggestions? ============ Quoting from hecdarec: Have you looked into one of the programs offere here on the sight? How are your eating habits? =============
