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.
How do you get motivated to lose weight or get healthy?
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
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!
The perfect songs to enjoy to keep the pounds away as off to work I GO.
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.
I get motivated when I go running with my best friend.
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
Being around thin women
I get motivated to get healthy by thinking of my family.
A high school reunion has motivated me! haha
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!
The thought of another swimsuit season the way I was keeps me motivated!
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.
I get upset when I see clothes for small people that are “cute”
Very curious to try this!
nice prize, i know i could use it..sounds interesting
i HAVE A FLU IT HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL LOL
My problem is I can’t get motivated…maybe this prize will help!
I’m really going to need the motivation for when my baby is born!
I could really use this one!
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 really need motivation right now. I just can’t muster up any willpower at the moment.
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.
It is a matter of maintaining my blood pressure and cholesterol. I post them by my treadmill.
LISTENING TO MUSIC MAKES ME WANT TO EXERCISE 🙂
Now this is something that I could definitely use. Thanks for offering this sweepstakes as well as letting us know about the product.
I had gastric bypass and I’ve lost 300 pounds since 2 years ago. I would love to have this to keep moving!!!
the wife needs… I mean…. wants, this..
I absolutely require 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 think about the embarrassment I would feel if I ran into one of my exes looking like this!
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 don’t really have a good way to get motivated. I need one.
I have to brow-beat myself into exercising
Just trying to keep up with the kids
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…
Reading fitness magazines like “Shape” and “Fitness” get me motivated.

Oh. . how I need that CD! *L* Thanks!

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.
Watching the biggest loser. It is a great show. It motivates me.
This would be nice to win for my sister. Thank you and best of luck.
Fun music when running or working out!
Boy I need that motivation
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!
This is exactly what I am looking for
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.
Summer coming motivates me!
When I hear about young relatives dying from heart attacks.

You have no idea how happy this would make me….and my husband. lol
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.
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.
HOW AWESOME–PLEASE ENTER ME INTO YOUR GREAT CONTEST!!!
i get motivated by seeing all the cute outfits i could be wearing.
So far, I’ve found Weight Watchers really motivating, but have been slacking since I moved somewhere where meetings are not conveniently nearby.

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.
Hearing other people stories.
my motivation comes from how good I feel when I eat properly and exercise and how much I can accomplish when I feel good!
Anything that’ll motivate me to workout must be a good thing!

Um, yeah. I just look in the mirror! 😉
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.

I need some weight loss motivation!
I would love to enter to win. This is very cool. Thanks
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 get motivated when I am outside playing with my kids, and have to stop because my age seems to be catching up to me!

Count me in!
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. 🙂
What a wonderful site. I am letting my Weight Watcher online group know about SkinnySongs.
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!
oh I really need this. My motivation is pathetic at best.
Oh – please. I need something to get me moving down the fitness road again!
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::

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 need all the motivation I can get.
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’d love to win!!
I get motivated to lose weight when my clothes get a bit snug. It’s easier to lose 5 lbs than replace my clothes.
