Getting in shape isn't always easy — we all have lapses in motivation! So on those days when you want to throw in the towel, try a few of these tips from Fit Forever! members:

• Set your eyes on the prize! Take a few minutes to visualize where you'll be in three months if you stick with it — and where you'll be if you don't!
  
• Buy some smiley-face stickers and put one on your calendar each day you stay on the Fit Forever! Plan. As they build up, you'll see how far you've come and be less tempted to quit!
  
• Shake up your routine — go for a walk in the woods instead of your usual route, or try a new workout tape!
  
• If you're having a hard time staying motivated to work out solo, join a class or start walking with a friend! Knowing they're expecting you helps keep you going on days you'd rather not be there.
  
• Find a recent photo of yourself at your current weight. Make a collage of photos cut out from magazines of how you'll look when you reach your target weight.

Remember: Each day you're on the program brings you one step closer to your goals. You can do it!
