Re: motivation? whats yours?

my wedding pictures! I cannot believe I allowed myself to put on 15 lbs in one year!


And I recently quit smoking, and don't want to put on any more weight.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

My motivation is a baby. After all I am going through to get pregnant, I want to have as healthy a pregnancy as possible.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

Honestly I don't know anymore. I always had my wedding weight as the biggest goal but now that I am there I don't know anymore. I think what gets me through the day are the small goals I set for myself.

Good luck in finding your mojo!

Whats keeping me going is if and when we start for a baby I want to be in great health and working out like I used to for my wedding.

Hmm..I just want to feel GOOD when I look in the mirror.
And, Id like to wear a two piece without in my head thinking that I need to wear a sarong to shield everyone from the cellulite.....

Re: motivation? whats yours?

I want to like what I see in the mirror and I'd like to have a baby so I want to be at a lower weight so I have less to lose after the pregnancy.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

I want to have another baby so I'd like to drop weight to gain weight!

Also, we have "The Biggest Loser" competition going at work. It's added incentive. The pot for the winner is $500 mid-April.

I have 2 beach vacatons planned this summer and just bought a new bathing suit! THAT is my motivation!!

Also - I want to have an outlet for stress.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

I feel so good after I work out...mentally, physically, etc...so that feeling is usually my motivation for working out....also, bathing suit season.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

Being healthy and living a long wonderful life. There are so many side effects and long term risks to being overweight...I don't want any part of it. That really does keep me going. And the fact that being overweight increases your risk of cancer.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

My collection of pants that are too small was larger than my collection of pants that do fit.

I don't want to go through the summer wearing jeans everyday it is way too hot.

I like how I feel about myself after working hard at the gym.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

My motivation is my health.... unfortunately it hasn't been too motivating lately

Re: motivation? whats yours?

I want to get pre-preggo weight before I get preggo again

Re: motivation? whats yours?

My motivation is that all of the clothes I bought myself last summer will not fit me this summer! Also, DH and I are going to be trying to get pregnant in the next few months so that it motivating me to get moving.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

I have lost 14 lbs in about 2 months. I want to go down for a total of 45. I just think of what will happen if I reach 30 and don't lose this excess weight. It will probably be all down hill from there.

Re: motivation? whats yours?

First, I want to be in good shape so I might live longer and participate fully in DSs life. I also want to avoid the familya ailments (diabetes, high blood pressure).

I want to be in better shape so I can do my hikes and bike rides again and feel fit to ski next winter. I'd also like to start running again, but my knees hurt when I do now, so I need to get my weight down a bit first.
