how do I give myself motivation for mexico?

Hi, so in one month I'll be on the beach in mexico, how do I give myself the motivation to lose at least 7-8 lbs. before then so that I can feel much more confident in my bikini? I think going to mexico should be motivation enough, right?

Hmmm...maybe try on your bikini? Set out some clothes that are a bit snug?

I'm going to Cancun in May; that's motivation enough right there!

Take a picture of yourself in the bikini you want to wear and then look at the picture every morning. If there's something you don't like to see in that picture it'll be a nice reminder to keep on track until Mexico!

Great ideas, I did the picture one today and it's great motivation.

I have been exercising since 01/01/13 and I am also going to Mexico in a few weeks. I have been trying on and taking a weekly pictures of me in my swim suit. It really shows you what you need to work on. Its been a great motivation for me.

Last time I was headed to Mexico, I picked something I really wanted to do while there (parasailing) and then only booked it once I reached my goal. Worth a try if there's something you're really looking forward to...

I'm goin to mexico at the end of July and I am working hard to be in much better shape by then! I have almost 6 months. I like the pic in a swimsuit idea!
