SkinnySongs is not about dieting, and is not “workout music.” Instead, SkinnySongs is the first radio-hit-quality music specifically written to empower and inspire people to reach their weight and fitness goals. While some people listen to it while exercising or walking, others find it helps to listen to SkinnySongs even when driving or cooking —to get through rough days and strengthen their resolve to reach their goals.
When I was asked to review the SkinnySongs CD, I was a bit skeptical. However, I am trying to lose a few extra pounds to get swimsuit ready for an anniversary trip to the Caribbean that my husband and I are taking in May, so I am up to try anything.
My resolve to eat well fluctuates. I have a day or two where fruits and veggies taste really good, and I don’t even miss the ice cream (okay, I don’t miss it too much). It all comes down to motivation. Would I rather eat a lot of high-fat, high-calorie foods, or would I rather feel confident on the beach
?
SkinnySongs really did motivate me. Listening to the CD made me want to go workout (and working out does not come easy to me). The songs are a mix of a modern country, hip hop, and rock. It’s music that will put a smile on your face. You can hear nice long samples of the songs, right on their home page. You can buy a copy there, on amazon, or at itunes.
If you’d like to win one of two copies, leave a comment here. We’ll post the winners on March 14.

I get motivated to lose weight when my clothes get a bit snug. It’s easier to lose 5 lbs than replace my clothes.
I’d love to win!!
This is exactly what I need as I am trying to walk this weight off! For motivation, I wear a pedometer and try to get 10,000 steps per day. I am also part of an accountability group, where we report the average of our daily steps on a weekly basis.
I need all the motivation I can get.
Oh my! I would love this! I too, have days where I am doing well, but then I have days where back sliding is a little easy to do.
My kids motivate me. I want them to be healthy and they watch everything I do. So if I can teach them and myself (and hubby) the right way to eat, then hopefully they will come out alright in the end.
I’m going to need a lot of motivation after this baby is born! Thank you.
I need all the help I can get! I have some lbs to loose!
What a GREAT idea! Count me in!
I’ll take anything that can motivate me to exercise and loose weight!
I have heard about this and am almost will to do anything to get these last 10 pounds of baby weight off. Sign me up ladies!
I agree — I could use all the motivation and help I can get to lose some of this extra weight. The biggest thing motivating me right now is our family reunion coming up this summer at a lake cottage… lots of shorts, swim suits, and tank tops that I’m going to need to get back into! ::shudder::
Oh – please. I need something to get me moving down the fitness road again!
oh I really need this. My motivation is pathetic at best.
This was be so great! I have a good day exercising, then a bad, day, then a bad day and maybe a good day! I would like to be more consistent and I’ll try anything that sounds reasonable!
What a wonderful site. I am letting my Weight Watcher online group know about SkinnySongs.
I’m a bit skeptical too, but I’m interested. The music clips are actually quite good and I’d be willing to take this music on my runs.
Count me in!
i could use this!! this sounds pretty cool. sign me up!!
I get motivated by stepping on the scale and knowing that spring will be here soon. I can’t wait to get active outdoors. In the meantime, I need to get myself back into running shape. I’d love to add this music to my playlist.
Sure! I would love to be entered to win this. It definitely sounds like something I could use. I need all the help I can get.
One word: veggies!

I really need some motivation to work out… Help Me!

It’d be fun to have new music to listen to on my walks.
Music is a really good motivator for me because it makes me want to get up and dance. I’ve got some baby weight to lose so I’d love to win this CD!

Hearing one of my five little ones tell me, “I love you Mommy, even though you’re fat.”

I NEED to win.
All I have to do is look in the mirror and I KNOW I need to change!
this would be great for me!

I get motivated when I am outside playing with my kids, and have to stop because my age seems to be catching up to me!
I’d love to get some inspiration in the form of this giveaway of Skinny Songs…thanks for the offer!
To get motivated to tone up, I usually watch MTV or look through a Victoria Secret magazine. It may be a little unrealistic, but at least it boosts my desire to be at my best.
Marissa
I would love to enter to win. This is very cool. Thanks
I need some weight loss motivation!
well, it’s probably not the way to go for everyone but getting a divorce motivated me to drop from a size 20 to a 4/6. I just wanted to look and feel good about my new start in life.
I get motivated whenever I see recent pictures – I always look skinnier in my mind!
I could sure use some motivation!
I want to win this, I exercise daily and this WOULD be used. What motivates me, is me.
I need to lose weight and win this!!
My daughter gets me going. I want to play and run with her and when I start too feel like it’s getting harder she keeps me going.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember the last time I was motivated to work toward any health/fitness goals. This time of the year (winter) is so difficult for me.
Um, yeah. I just look in the mirror!
Oh yeah, I sure would LOVE to win one of these!!! I’ve always viewed exercise as a necessary evil…but I’ve been a very well-behaved girl of late, totally avoiding those necessary evils!

This would sure be some great motivation by winning this and then I could be so motivated I would say look out world here I come.
Anything that’ll motivate me to workout must be a good thing!
my motivation comes from how good I feel when I eat properly and exercise and how much I can accomplish when I feel good!
Hearing other people stories.
Watching The Biggest Loser motivates me. I only have a few pounds to lose and they have many. If they can do it, so can I.

So far, I’ve found Weight Watchers really motivating, but have been slacking since I moved somewhere where meetings are not conveniently nearby.
i get motivated by seeing all the cute outfits i could be wearing.
HOW AWESOME–PLEASE ENTER ME INTO YOUR GREAT CONTEST!!!
Wow! I like Curves, as there’s lots of motivational sayings around the room as you’re working out, but I seem to lose my motivation once I’m home. I’d love to try this CD.
Lost my motivation right now. Have moved weight bench into bedroom last week. Now that I’m talking about it , thats alittle motivation. When I talk about or read articles its a start. Can’t wait until summer, that’s my real motivation. I walk in the pool with a timer for 1 hour each day. Last year went down 4 sizes. Still have 50 pounds to lose. Motivation is in my pool. It’s just one of those blow up ring type pools, but it works.
You have no idea how happy this would make me….and my husband. lol
what a great prize!!!!! my health motivates me!!!
I’ll take anything that can motivate me to exercise and loose weight!
After having a baby 7 mos ago I still have 50 lbs to lose. I could use any motivation booster available!
Looking good!

I’d like to win!!
I could use Skinny *anything*!
my favorite jeans, when they get too snug-it’s time to watch what I eat

I look in the mirror
Thanks for the giveaway! Motivating me to work out would be wonderful…I HATE working out.
I like to dance around my house!!!
I read Shape and Cosmo and look at great clothes I will look great in on the internet and in catalogs!
I get motivated to lose weight when my clothes get a bit snug.
This is such a neat idea!
Sounds great and it seems like something I really need to get me going! Getting Started it really the hardest part!
When I hear about young relatives dying from heart attacks.
Summer coming motivates me!
I don’t allow myself to buy clothes in a bigger size so if I start to outgrow them I know I need to watch out. Then I reward myself with a new outfit in my normal size after those pounds come back off.
This is exactly what I am looking for
My motivation is that I am getting ready to enter my 30′s and I would like to looking better than I did in my 20′s!
Boy I need that motivation
Fun music when running or working out!
This would be nice to win for my sister. Thank you and best of luck.
Watching the biggest loser. It is a great show. It motivates me.
I get motivated when my life is stable. When I get a stable job and know what to expect in life. Right now I’m unemployed and I might be moving. This makes me very stressed and I eat when I’m stressed. It’s a bad time to start a diet.
enter me please
enter me please, thank you for the contest
Oh. . how I need that CD! *L* Thanks!
I am going to be in my friends wedding and I made a personal goal to lose 40 pounds!!

I am turning 50 this Friday I have lost 75 pounds in 4 years I had the total 100 lost and then 2 years ago went under a flat bed semi and put some back on and had some other things to deal with…alot…..it is hard as one gets older and as ones body hurts more. from age and other things I have never heard of this this sounds great….all things help…
Just trying to keep up with the kids
I have to brow-beat myself into exercising
I don’t really have a good way to get motivated. I need one.
I like to go to the Rec center. Knowing someone is waiting for me gets me there when I don’t want to go.
I think about the embarrassment I would feel if I ran into one of my exes looking like this!
I saw this CD on a television show and heard parts of its a clips. It’s a must have to get those lyrics into our subconscious and working towards that nice trim body.
I absolutely require this.
the wife needs… I mean…. wants, this..
I had gastric bypass and I’ve lost 300 pounds since 2 years ago. I would love to have this to keep moving!!!
Now this is something that I could definitely use. Thanks for offering this sweepstakes as well as letting us know about the product.
LISTENING TO MUSIC MAKES ME WANT TO EXERCISE
It is a matter of maintaining my blood pressure and cholesterol. I post them by my treadmill.
I have a hard time getting motivated. Convenience helps. It’s important to my husband that HE looses weight, that makes it easier for me to want to keep motivated and do it with him.
I really need motivation right now. I just can’t muster up any willpower at the moment.
I’m going to have a ton of weight to lose after I have my little boy Dash in May. I could use some motivation.
I could really use this one!
I’m really going to need the motivation for when my baby is born!
My problem is I can’t get motivated…maybe this prize will help!
i HAVE A FLU IT HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL LOL
nice prize, i know i could use it..sounds interesting
Very curious to try this!
I get upset when I see clothes for small people that are “cute”
I get motivated by seeing those people without legs and understand the passion they must have to be able to walk. Since I am fortunate to have legs, I walk and pray that they will experience bountiful joy in life.
The thought of another swimsuit season the way I was keeps me motivated!
This sounds like a great way to lose weight. Most CDs have a mix of up-beat, and not so up-beat. Good luck to everyone!
A high school reunion has motivated me! haha
I get motivated to get healthy by thinking of my family.
Being around thin women
I will wear a pair of pants,I can’t button.It
aggrevates me so much I think twice abut that
brownie.This sounds like a good CD.Please enter me
I get motivated when I go running with my best friend.
If I keep up my exercise routine for a length of time, which I set in accordance to my reward, then I get whatever it is that I promised myself. It could be a yummy dessert, but more often it is a new top or a piece of jewelry, as long as it is something I want really bad.
The perfect songs to enjoy to keep the pounds away as off to work I GO.
I get motivated when I think of not being able to run around and play with my nieces and nephews. They are the world to me! Not being able to run around with them, makes me want to stay in shape!
I think this would be the GREATEST for me – to keep the weight off, lose 20 and want to keep it off- “keep me motivated and have fun”, want to stay fit and feeling great!!!!!!!!!! Txs
