I've gained 15 pounds in 2 months so far. I thought it was impossible for me to gain weight. I never really stuck to anything though. The key to losing or gaining weight is come up with a plan.. a diet plan, and a workout plan, AND STICK TO IT!!! Get a routine and follow it to the T and keep doing it. Don't do a workout here and there, stick to it religiously. I saw results pretty fast. I was motivated because I would keep getting stronger. Every workout I would add weight to the bar than I had on the previous workout. I saw immense strength increases. That alone kept me motivated to get stronger and stronger. Not to mention, I could start seeing results in the mirror, and on the scale.
Take shirtless pictures each week. It may sound stupid, but it's a great motivator. When you start seeing the results of your work, it will keep you motivated.
You need to eat about 5 small meals a day. Drink a lot of water. Do some weight lifting and definetly some cardio. You don't have to just run on a tredmill.. make it interesting.. play some basketball. Ride a bike. But whatever you do, do it hard. Don't just pedal your bike at a moderate pace. Push it hard.
You will lose weight with a good diet alone.. but it will be even better and faster if you add exercise in there too. So, in recap.. the key to staying motivated is sticking to a routine and you will start seeing results in your weekly pictures, on the scale, and in how you feel. You will feel more healthy and look it, too.
