Strange Motivation?

I've started taking the stairs at work every night. Every night I get winded and wait outside the stairwell door until I catch my breath in case somebody is out there. So I started wondering... When will I be able to do this and still talk when I get to the top? This is my new motivation to keep working out. Anybody else have something "odd" that they are striving for?

Oh it will come but you have to keep doing it over time. When u improve your cardio and loose weight you will do fine!!!0

I have to scrub in for hours at a time for my job and I want to stop sweating so much! It's so embarrassing when I break scrub and there are sweat marks on my back.0

I strive to have a closet full of clothes that don't fit because they're TOO big. Everytime I find a new pair of pants that fit fine a few weeks ago and are now just falling off I get incredibly excited. I like to fill up garbage bags full of clothes that are too big to give away to goodwill. I recently gave away a pair of my favourite jeans that were a size 16 and it felt exhilirating to do so.
So, I'm not so sure how strange it is but it's something I look forward to doing every couple of weeks.

That's a terrific motivator! Congrats!
My motivation is a pair of jeans I wore about 4 years ago. I only wore them two times, but I'm going to get in them again. And! I just bought my bathing suite for the summer. It's early I know, but I fear when I do finally hit my goal in several months that it won't be there. Plus I bought it - I better be in it! LOL!0 -

It seems like a hundred years ago - but I recall going out with my friends and being able to stay on the dance floor almost the entire time - Now if I go out with friends it is 'very' limited. I'm striving for the time to be able to keep dancing without feeling like I just ran a marathon after dancing to one song.0 -
I want to wear a pretty white sundress. Since I've gotten so big, I don't wear dresses, I don't wear white, and I've been way too covered up in the summer. To me, the ultimate expression of my newfound freedom would be to put on a pretty white flowy sundress with some flip flops, my hair up in a ponytail, a cute pair of sunglasses. It's a sweet thought.
Losing the weight really is about gaining freedom.0
