    LOVE <3 THIS IS PURE LOVE!
  • Bless your heart :) I knew you looked familiar! I remember reading about Ed making soup? I think it was or something in the crockpot? I loved that story and I love this one just as much :)

    My biggest supporters are my mom and probably 3 people on here. I don't know where I'd be without any of them :)

    I am my own biggest supporter and motivator... Although my MFP friends truly keep me motivated and accountable. My friends and family aren supportive but they aren't unsupportive. I think they have seen me yo-yo with my weight y whole li for them to know that this time is the real deal. My other motivation comes from my smaller clothes sizes, increased fitness level, and my gym friends as well as the random comments from gym friends/acquaintances or people that i run into that i haven't seen in a while... The positive comments are great reinforcers that my hard work and dedication are paying off.

    pretty much this. i've been talking about getting healthy or healthier the whole time my kids have been alive, my oldest is now 12, so it's been awwhiile. they aren't unsupportive, but it's only natural to get tired of talking about it eventually. my kids and their dad are happy that i'm lifting, and they sometimes do workouts with me too.

    having the right routine is a huge motivator, everyday is a workout i love and look forward to doing. so i never want to skip
    workouts anymore, always my biggest obstacle- procrastination.

    the mfp support is great. there is a mix of people I can joke around with, have intelligent conversation, and people that want my help. helping them makes me feel good, and encourages me to keep trying to inspire them too.

    but really i just have to stay out of my own way. my biggest obstacle is myself, once I stop overthinking, over analyzing, and just jump in and do it already- it goes much better. it's really 90% mental for me.
