What keeps you motivated to keep working on losing weight. I work long hours and am tired at night too keep going?

    My best friend and work out buddy keeps me motivated by providing support (and a kick in the butt when needed.)
    My diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (and watching my husband give himself weekly shots for his own - I am doing all I can to avoid that outcome).
    Seeing pictures from a year ago and realizing that I was much heavier than I allowed myself to believe, and how much better I look now.
    Feeling amazing every day because I have more energy and a positive mood from regular exercise.
    My kids need me to be around for them, and eventually, I will have grandkids who will also need me.

    I have already lost my weight once, and I am starting to "rebound" to my old habits. I find what motivates me is really thinking of how I was back when I was 100lbs heavier. How much life sucked, compared to now.

    I refuse to buy bigger clothes as well, as I love my closet now!

    Also, I will second the looking back at old pictures.
