I haven't been food logging for a couple of days but been giving slimming world another try as the calorie counting wasn't doing it for me. When I have it in my mind I have to limit myself I find I feel trapped (if that makes sense) and start to binge. im on day 3 now of being on plan and im doing a weigh in on Tuesday again in boots with a friend. I'm so determined! she is 1 stone 1lb lighter than me and I know this may sound cruel but my motivation is to weigh less than her! I haven't weighed less thank her for about 10 years and she's always been my skinny best friend. of course I want to succeed together but this little competition is what is keeping me going! so what are your secret motivators?

My biggest motivation is my daughter. My other motivation is to be able to fit into this one pair of jeans I have that when I used to be able to fit into them my husband would comment every time and say "damn look at that butt..." lol I felt soo good but I have a long way to go before I can get into them. probly can't even get a leg in them now0

I want to make sure nobody can ever call me fat again. And I want to stick it to my inlaws, who have been talking about my weight behind my back for the past 13 years. All under the guise of "we're just concerned about her health."0

My secret motivation is a trip to California & Vegas with my boyfriend's family in April.
Even though my clothes have to be more modest than if I was going to Vegas with friends, I want to look fantastic when I put on my (modest) bathing suit!0 -
My secret motivation is to be able to travel the world and not have my weight keep me back from enjoying and trying anything or stop me from taking pictures to remember my adventures.0

My secret motivation is my boyfriends sister! I went to Florida with their family and she and her best friend were so skinny and pretty! She's a size 2/4 and thinking about her keeps me going!
Also, my best friend and I have a wager. I beat her to the first 10 pounds, so now we are doing another 10! I really want to be lighter than her, we started at about the same measurements but I weigh 20 pounds more than her! So frustrating.

I plan on trying to get pregnant next year and I want my starting weight to be really low so that I have an easier time losing weight after the baby. I also want to be really skinny before I go on vacation this fall.0

When I was a chubby pre-teen someone told me "Your weight and fitness are connected to every part of your life one way or another" and that stuck with me.0

My ex never had an issue with my weight. But because of the simple fact she is now my EX, I can’t wait for her to see the new and improved me. So I’m doing this for myself. But there is that secret motivating factor out there.0

To feel healthy.
Since I started eating healthy and exercising my back and leg pain has more than halved to the point where I am not feeling it much anymore, just when I sit down for too long / stand too long or if I am cold.
This has amazed me and its the biggest motivation I could ever have!0 -

Mmmmm, my secret motivation might just be that little catalog of sexy nightgowns I saw in my mailbox and saved.
Yes, I think so!:happy:0 -

My motivation is the progress I've already made, and being stronger, faster, fitter and healthier in my 40's than I was in my 30's, and then knocking it out of the park in my 50's, which are right around the corner.
Past challenges that I've overcome and conquered, and new challenges ahead keep me motivated, knowing I can do anything I set my mind to, and that if I am determined enough, I will find a way to do it, doing the very best I can with what I've got.
I will continue to improve, grow (muscles, not fat!), and learn for the rest of my life, and enjoy it all. Never going back! :drinker:0 -
The entertainment I get from a green-eyed monster in my life.

I'm gong on a trip with an old friend from university-this summer. Haven't seen him for 27 years-and I was about 60 lbs lighter then. I know I won't lose 60 but 25 would be awesome!0

I want to be able to run for buses without getting out of breath, carry my own groceries, feel sexy and just generally I like to implement the way I am in school to other parts of my life...so I try to be the very best but the only person I feel competitive with, is myself.0

I don't know if I have a secret motivation-- maybe the closest thing is that I want to look athletic, not petite but plumpish. I would like to get down the the lowest weight I've been as an adult, which happened in college when I was depressed for 3 months and barely ate. I lost probably 10 pounds in that time (which is a heck of a lot for short little me) and I looked great-- my stomach was actually flat. This time I'm doing it sustainably over a longer period of time, and relearning how to eat as I go (I had a habit of routine overeating!). Lest anyone worry about me, my ultimate goal weight is 105 lbs, and I'm 5'1" with a small/medium frame.0

I’ve gained a stupid amount of weight last year.
I want to be able to fit on my old clothes again. I booked a holiday to Barcelona in May and I hope to be back to my old shape by then.0 -
My motivation is getting to a pint where nothing is physically beyond my reach. If I get in my head to do something I don't my body holding me back because I ate a Twinkie to many!!0
