    I mostly do it all for myself to see how strong I'll become.

    But I do like eye candy/inspirational posts, so I visit Funeral For My Fat on a daily basis: http://funeralformyfat.tumblr.com/

    Desperately wanting to get into my old jeans.

    I admit, this is a big driver for me too - but more than that, once I got started I was "hooked" - the amp I feel before my long run, or after a great session on weights, became my carrot. I still get frustrated when the scale and I disagree, or on the days my diet slides, but at the end of the week I keep at it because I love the way it makes me feel.

    my favorite jeans :heart:

    But seriously, I have family members with health issues caused mainly by being overweight. I like being healthy, so that motivates me.

    I like to look at pictures, because when I look in the mirror, I don't really see what others see. But when I see pictures of myself, I think, "Whoa - is that really ME???"

    I think about the alternative. If I gave up a year and a half ago where would I be now. The same applies.

    Hello everyone!
    You just need to follow some little things in your life to stay motivated and happy:
    1. Set a Goal.
    2. Remind yourself daily.
    3. Set a deadline for yourself to your goal.
    4. Check daily where you're or how much space is left between you and your goal.
    5. Appreciate yourself.
    6. Do what you love.
    7. Spend some time with people who makes you happy.
    8. Spend some time with yourself too (read or watch success stories often, think about being creative with your goal and have fun)
    9. Eat healthy and enjoy it.
    10. If someone comment on you negatively think about that once whether you made some mistake or not. If you did, fix it. If you didn't, just ignore them and go ahead.
    11. Don't let anyone judge you, and if they do, let them do. Hurdle arises, keep moving forward.
    12. Congrats! You've finally achieved what you wanted. :)
    13. Reward yourself. Feel Proud.
    14. Set another goal.
    15. Repeat.....
