Hello everyone, I was wondering what is currently motivating you?

What is motivating me? My future, Avoiding health problems due to my overweight, looking great, feeling great for summer 2012 or for any other event that may pass my way. Last but not least my soon to come wedding.

Good Luck Everyone! *Stay Positive*

    I have two things motivating me:

    1) I haven't bought new clothes in about 3 years, so I'm looking forward to December when I can buy some new ones!
    2) Showing off my "new" body to my husband when he comes home from Afghanistan in a few months =]

    Well, quite a few things actually! Proving to myself that I can actually do it. (I've tried and failed MANY times). I want to rub it in the faces of those skinny b*****s that used to be my "friends". To look super hot for my boyfriend and 21st birthday. To be able to say, "yeah, I'm a runner and I'm healthy". :)

    The way I am currently feeling, the increase in energy, and I am not going to lie I like the fact that I have to pull my pants up regularly 8-)

    Wanting to love what I see in the mirror long-term, not just for a month or two; my wedding! (date unknown, but it's coming up whenever it is and I want to be ready!); long-term health. I did enough damage to my body in the years I was actively anorexic. I want my body to be healthy at a reasonable weight; and of course, i want to feel SEXY! in whatever i wear at whatever time of day. :D

    Obesity related illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure... the list goes on. My family especially since I want to be able to see my kids grow up and be able to spend the rest of my LONG life with my wife and the fact that before I started losing weight I had absolutely no energy to do anything. It was even a chore to get up off the couch to go eat. Now I'm down 22 pounds and have more energy. Food's no longer in control. I am.

    Nothing at the moment. Losing weight and healthy eating is the last thing on my mind atm.

    Avoiding the long term back and knee problems that several people I know have gone through as they get older. I want to be healthy and active long past 70 years old.

    My sister's wedding in January. She supposedly ordered me a size 6-8 dress or something.. But I think it's one of those Two Birds convertible dresses that David Tutera loves! LOL I only have this hint b/c she said that it'll look great on everyone's body shape. We'll find out at Thanksgiving!!

    Also.. My MFP family that seems to keep growing everyday :D

    And lastly, my future.

    OMG! We have almost the same bio! Except I have a hubby, not a wife.
