Well today is just Day 8 of my brand new life, and Day 5 at walking. I go to a nearby high school and walk laps around their 1/2 mile outdoor track. Today I got up to 3.5 miles in 30 minutes and even jogged 1/8th of a mile!!!! I was so happy and surprised I could run, I was practically in tears!! I started my journey 8 days ago 266 lbs. So running is quite a sight to see LOL. The temps and humidity here are out of this world this week (106 degrees!). But I get up and out early while it's still just in the low 80's. So when the weather is more normal and not so insane, I better not ever complain that "it's too hot".

QOTD - Monday What is one thing that you are most looking forward to when you hit your goal weight?
Walking down the aisle:laugh: No seriously I will enjoy living a healthier life. Being obsess make you feel tired and run down sometimes. I can't wait for that feeling to go.
QOTD Tuesday: I read an article recently that said more than 80% of people that lose weight, regain that weight and sometimes more after two years....so what makes you think you are or will be apart of the 20% that keeps the weight off permanently?? (answer honestly, noone is here to judge you!)
I don't diet, I think that's where people fall short and gain back weight. I see people on here lose 40lbs in 3 mos by working out 2hrs a day and eating nothing. Unless you plan to do that forever the weight is going to come back. I'm all about lifestyle changes that I can sustain forever.
QOTD Wednesday ~ What are you doing for exercise this summer?
I'm going to start back with Turbo Jam this week but I brough P90X 2 mos ago before I got injured so I want to start that asap when I am back into the swing of things.0 -
I think its my turn for QOTD (sorry if its not)

My motivation is to just finally be slim for the first time in my life. I've always been the biggest girl from primary school onwards and I just want to enjoy the rest of my 20's if not my life being the figure I'm meant to be. Seeing my friends be absolutely gorgeous and my own sisters, it makes me want to push myself that much harder to get there.. And I've been to the doctors and asked advice everywhere and they have all made me happy and encouraged me that I can get to my figure in 5 months, which is end of the year and lose half the fat by October if I carry on with my progress.
When times get tough.. My biggest motivation is to prove all those bullies wrong, who have bullied me about my weight since I was 7 through to high school and even university. No more.. I will prove I can be just as beautiful 0 -
Wednesday QOTD ~ What are you doing for exercise this summer?
Great question! I have to get my butt in gear and get back on the exercise wagon. I have a love/hate relationship with C25K, but I do really enjoy The Biggest Loser workout videos! It's motivating for sure to see the people on it struggling just like I do. If they can do it so can I. Right?
When I first started working out back in 2007, I started with the Biggest Loser DVD's because I knew if they could do it I can do it. I hate watching skinny people on workout videos. And I love to hear them breathing hard right along with me. The skinny people make it seem way easier.0 -

I have lots of reasons to be motivated, mainly the way I want to look and feel. But you want to know what motivates me when it gets tough? God and my MFP friends. I find that if I just reach out, I find the support or encouragement that I need.0 -

Fitness and health. When I started this lifestyle change a couple years ago, I just wanted to lose weight. After several months, I realized that my migraines had all but disappeared and I had a lot more energy. During the winter months, I usually catch every virus that goes around and, for the past couple years, I haven't had more than a sniffle. Being sick and tired of being sick and tired motivates me. 0 -

I'm tired of feeling self concious all the time. When my husband puts his arms around me, I'm very aware of my belly "fluff".0 -
Since I began my workout program the first of June, I walk at least 40 minutes per day (2 miles). Three days per week I get the push mower out and cut grass (I live on a very steep slope, so I count that as walking up and down hills for 30 minutes). Three days per week I work out with my Cardio Max DVD with Bob from the Biggest Loser. I also own a bowflex, so I do strength training at least 3 times per week. Finally, I do 100 ab crunches with 40 pounds of weight 5 days a week.0

My motivation is looking in the mirror. I can't stand the way I look and I want to change it! I want to take pictures with my family and my kids and actually LIKE them and WANT to display them for everyone to see. I want to walk out in public and NOT care if anyone looks at me. I want to to go out with my friends and not feel like I'm bigger than them. I want to go out with my husband and feel like he is proud to be with me (he already is, but I don't feel that way because i have terrible self-esteem issues). I want to take my kids to the pool and not feel self conscious about my body. That's my motivation.. to have an all around better outlook on life once I'm at my goal weight. I know so much about me will change into the person that I want to be!0 -
I was always very athletic until I had my third child. My motivation is to get back to being healthy and strong enough to run 5 miles a day and bicycle for a couple of hours whenever I feel like it. I had become so isolated because of all the extra weight I'm carrying around and I forgot how much I love to be active and outdoors! My boys are all athletic and I would love to keep up with them again. Right now my son, Wyatt is playing football in high school. He works out every day, he runs, he lifts, and he encourages me to do the same. I promised him I would be his weight by this time next year and I will not let him down! He weighed 165 a few weeks ago and that is my goal weight.0

I have always been fat and self concious even as a baby I was massive. So I want to see if there is a slim person in me somewhere. More than that though I want to be able to keep up with my children and set a good example to them.0

Me too. I weighed 10lbs & 4.5 oz when I was born! And I always had a big belly. I know there is a slim person in both of us...we just have to find her! I don't have children yet, but I want the same thing.0 -

I'm still around, I haven't been able to check in because we were in the middle of a move and unexpectedly had no internet for awhile. I'm going to go through and read what I've missed and check in later today. Hope everyone's having a good week so far.0

QOTD Thursday : whats your motivation? whether it be a celebrity body, a friend, or even just because you want to feel good for yourself... what motivates you to keep going when it gets tough?
great question...I have many things that keep me motivated when things get rough!
I want to prove others wrong and let them know that I can meet and do anything I set my mind to!
I want to inspire others and be able to say "if I can do it, anyone can"
I want to be as healthy as possible, no more foot or ankle pain and feel strong
now the good stuff....
I want to wear a 2 piece bikini in public and look like the baddest chic on the beach
I want to be the sexiest teacher at my school
I want to walk around in a minimal amount of clothes and look great in it
I want to be able to walk around the house naked and not feel self conscious
I want to look in the mirror and love my curves (not rolls of fat) but curves, I'm getting there day by day0 -
My motivation is my health. My mom has so many health issues that in one way or another are related to her weight. I don't want to have all those issues and go through all that pain. I want to be around for my kids and be active in their lives. I also want to feel good about the way I look but my number one motivation is to live a long and healthy life:drinker:0

I think its my turn for QOTD (sorry if its not)
QOTD Thursday : whats your motivation? whether it be a celebrity body, a friend, or even just because you want to feel good for yourself... what motivates you to keep going when it gets tough?
My motivation is to finally feel better about myself. I don't like the way I look, and I can't wait to finally be comfortable with my body. I want to go to my favorite stores and know that I can fit into anything, and I want to finally own a bikini and actually wear it. Plus, I have mentioned this a few times before, but if/when I get a guy, I want him to be able to lift me without killing himself!! I also want to be as healthy as possible because I want a family, and I want to be a good role model for being healthy, and making sure my kids will be healthy!0 -
WE ARE WHAT WE REPEATEDLY DO.
EXCELLENCE, THEN, IS NOT AN ACT BUT A HABIT

My health and my family motivate me to eat well and be active. I want to live an healthy and happy life. I want to be proud of how I look and I want my family to be proud of me too.
My friends on mfp are great inspirations! I appreciate you all!!0 -
Wednesday QOTD ~ What are you doing for exercise this summer?
I am going to re-start 30DS and C25k.
QOTD Thursday : whats your motivation? whether it be a celebrity body, a friend, or even just because you want to feel good for yourself... what motivates you to keep going when it gets tough?
My motivations are:
My sons
My husband
Size 8 pants
More energy
My dad died at 33 of a heart attack. I don't want to follow suit.0 -
This is kind of random...but I just took some 'before' photos of myself in swimsuits. OMG...I have a lot or work to do!!! It was all bad, but the back fat was the worst! I've got to get fit!0

QOTD Thursday : whats your motivation? whether it be a celebrity body, a friend, or even just because you want to feel good for yourself... what motivates you to keep going when it gets tough?
My motivation is my family and friends. I want my husband to be able to wrap his arms completely around me, not just finger tips touching. I don't want my daughters to go through the teasing and humiliation that I had to go through during school. I want to be able to go to my 15 year school reunion and no one recognize me! Also, the fact that we went to a waterpark the other weekend and my husband took a picture of me playing with the girls.........EWWWWWWWW Talk about beached whale...if that wasn't motivation, I don't know what is! LOL0 -

Fight the good fight my yellow sister! I turn to my SO at least once a day and ask if the backfat is gone yet - so far no, it is not.
EWWWWWWWW Talk about beached whale...if that wasn't motivation, I don't know what is! LOL
My mom took a picture of me lying on the beach that was like that and gave it to me, and I did not appreciate it - she did it deliberately to let me know how fat I looked. Thanks Mom, I knew I was fat and I wanted to wear the 2 piece anyway, and I wanted to lie on the goddamn beach in it anyway.
Anyway for my answer:
QOTD Thursday : whats your motivation? whether it be a celebrity body, a friend, or even just because you want to feel good for yourself... what motivates you to keep going when it gets tough?
It hasn't really been tough yet. Its been easy-ish. Even this week when I think i am not going to be able to log any weight loss (glares at scale) its been easyish. I have done some kind of exercise every day which is just amazing and I've been eating better if not always the best. So my motivation has been that I haven't had to do much to lose weight and be in better shape.
Well. Other than dedicate an hour every day to exercise but I am really enjoying it so thats no hardship.
I didn't have a soda habit to kick and I didn't have any special unhealthy meals or foods I used to cook -- I eat out almost entirely (or prepared foods at home) so even though people talk about the evils of restaurant calories, I've found it easier. I just don't eat the free chips or bread they bring out (or I do it moderation) and I eat less or make healthier choices or a combination of the 2.
I imagine at some point I will need to do something more extreme but right now I get to eat 1500 calories a day and that's working for me.0 -
My motivation is that i'm hopefully starting a psychiatric nursing course in Jan and i dont want to be the fat one. I've been the fat one since starting secondary school (at eleven). I want to be a good role model for my patients and younger sisters. I want to feel confident when i'm out, to be able to go swimming again, my asthma to be mere controllable, my joint probles to get better. There's so much out there that i want to be able to do and that is what keeps me going.
It might sound a bit vain but...I'd like to be hit on at least once by someone. :blushing:0 -

Finally getting healthy - I've got my starting picture where I can check it out any time and know I do not want to be there EVER again. The way I feel when I work out is also highly motivating. Realizing I can physically push myself much further (lift more, move faster etc.) than I could weeks, months, days ago is also highly motivating.0
