    I know this is superficial, but more clothes and just generally being aesthetically pleasing. It's what I think of when I'm on the verge of stopping in the middle of a workout.

    Fitting into my pre baby clothes. I have an amazing wardrobe that I cannot wear right now. I refuse to buy new clothes. I will fit them again. I am not going to be one of those people who have a baby then get use that as an excuse to be unhealthy.

    I think you'll still have really amazing cheekbones :) you're gorgeous! My motivator is my family. I know I'm worth it and my health matters. I had to learn to put myself first - exercise comes before any get togethers with friends or family, work, anything. I come first, took me a long time to learn, but that's what did it for me!

    To give my husband the WOW! factor when he gets home for Afghanistan! Last time he was deployed I had lost 30lbs to only put it back on when he came home as we celebrated, but this time, it's not coming back. Obviously my health, set a good example for my 3 boys and cute clothes are big ones too. But my husband is super fit, and has a great bod and runs marathons for fun. I would love to run with him! Well my run and his walk b/c he does like 6 minute mile, but just to run around the block a few times would be nice!

    Was creeping up towards 14stone and approaching 40 in 2 years. Brother decided to organise a cycle trip from Paris to London - 260 miles. I went down a belt size and it felt really good :-) Decided to get onto MyFitnessPal and stick to it for 6 months - I must say the people on here are very supportive and friendly and there is lots of good advice if needed.

    Just got to 157 pounds - havent been this light in years :-)

    My motivator was to simply start living. I was 22 and just didn't like how my life was going. There is a lot more to it, but I just basically wanted a normal life for myself. Health and clothes are big motivators too! There is going to be a problem with my spending when I no longer have to shop the plus size lol. Also... I am in a wedding next summer, and I want to look somewhat decent!

    Running. Running as fast as a i can chasing the sun and knowing i can without feeling like I'm about to faint. Going into any clothing shop and not standing from the entry knowing that there's no point going into it because the sizes don't go up to my size. Challenge. Discovering that i am and i can be all that i want to be when i put my mind to it. The feeling that even though i'm loosing the weight I'm growing so much within and i love the look on my mans face when I'm wearing nothing in front of him.

    The fact that I know I will have a thigh-gap!
    Haha
    I know it's vain but I've never liked my thighs to rub together,it makes me feel chubby:$
    I naturally just have wider hips so I've always had a thigh gap,it tells me that I'm skinny again.

    I have several significant motivators. I think the more motivators I have, the more achievable it is!
    Wanting to break the obesity chain in my family.
    Wanting to someday have children and be a healthy role model for them.
    Wanting to avoid multiple health conditions my family has due to obesity.

    The most achievable one I have at the moment is wanting to join the military. I'm working on the physical fitness requirements and I'm getting closer to being successful.

    My biggest motivator is so people can look at me in a different light. I want to hear "You look great" once in my life.I am 18 and have been over weight my whole life, school was rough! I actually quit because kids were so mean. I think that was my motivator to prove all those mean bullies that I their words didn't hurt...only pushed me further to want to lose weight.I also am very hard on myself,and people say that is bad, but for me it is actually helping me. When I look in the mirror and say "You're fat!" it makes me want to go work out it makes me want to eat healthier. All in all I think my motivators is just be healthy and slim, looking nice for myself and wear dresses and nice clothes.
