when i see a picture of my friends or just anybody at the beach in their bikinis i find myself saying " Im gonna look like that one day" instead of " I wish i looked like that" and it feel great!

I feel like nothing can stop me, I've made up my mind that I WILL LOOSE WEIGHT and I am so proud of that! who else is with me?? :D

    Same here. I used to get depressed when I looked at the fit girls. Now I look at them and think "I can do this. That will be me one day" :)

    ME too!!! I want to be proud of my body and not having to look around the room, thinking, oh I wish I could wear that outfit. Or have those legs. Or run more than a mile. We will do it!! :D

    Yes, yes, yes! I'm finally feeling it! My mindset has changed! I agree no more looking at others and wishing... but I'm now looking at me KNOWING, I CAN DO THIS!!! I was just saying to my husband... "do u think I exercise too much?" :-D I feel good and I'm thankful to God for helping me make the mental shift so that I can make the physical change. By this time next year... Limitless!

    Well I am not looking to be in a bikini but for the first time in all my many tries I do feel I will succeed this time. I no longer look around wishing I looked like this or that, but rather think about the steps I am taking to be the person I want to be not what someone else thinks I should or should not be:love: It feels great knowing that one day I will reach my goal.

    I am incredibly motivated to lose this weight. Every day I focus on it, and I am on MFP throughout the entire day!
    I have rewards in place for when i do reach my goal.

    At times, i do think "can i really do this for the rest of my life?" "will i be able to maintain the weight?" and I have thought about those who lose soooo much weight, and then essentially "relapse" and gain everything back.

    I notice on saturdays are my best days, since that is the day i weigh myself. Every week i have been down in weight! :D I am thrilled this whole "eat healthy" concept is working! HAHA believe it or not, I actually doubted that this "calories in/out" would work. I had to ask myself "why would it not work?" to remove my doubts. I think this has to do with my past and the "failed attempts" of pills, starving, eating only certain foods, etc.

    I am grateful to see some results so quickly as well.

    I'm feeling very motivated at the moment too! A combination of eating well and exercising is making me feel amazing! Long may it last :)
  • I felt like that the other day and it's amazing how the feeling hasn't worn off yet.
    I'm determined to look really good when I get back to school after the summer and show all the people who let me down and made my life hell that I can do just fine, maybe even better, without them in my life.
