    My cousin, Gayle.

    She's a kettlercise instructor and her body is just a-m-a-z-i-n-g, we all call her the, "Mighty Atom" because she's so relentless. She's in her mid thirties and teaches 4 to 5 classes a week around helping to look after my Grandma, her 11 year old son and her two dogs. I definitely aspire to be as fit and healthy with just as much of a rockin' bod.

    Love her to iddy biddy pieces!

    I am my own motivation. I got fed up with being so grossly overweight. I've always asked myself this question, though: why of these guys' (athletes, as I love sports) bodies would I like to resemble? Names like T.O., Ray Lewis, Derrick Fisher, and Tebow. All muscular, but not Hulkish.

    My unborn, nay, yet to be conceived child(ren). I want to be able to have fun with them, run around, play sports with them without having to stop because 'sorry, mummy is too big/unfit/in too much pain to do this'. I don't want this for me, and certainly do not want that for my children. Enough!

    The old me. My profile pic is how I looked in 2007 when my husband was deployed. I had plenty of time and plenty of interest in exercise. I went hiking every weekend and went to the gym every weekday morning and out dancing at least once a week. Since he retired and had to have several surgeries, his mobility is limited and my activity level has gone WAY down. I slowly gained about 30 - 35 pounds. Now I'm working on getting back to the old me. It's amazing how few pictures I have of myself. I'm always the one holding the camera...but I found this one from August on the beach with my grandson.

    I hope it works

    Try copying the IMG code, paste it in place of the one above (you can edit your previous post). Change the capitalized IMG to lower case img (both at the beginning and the end) and save it. You should be all set.

    In the past, I'd listened to a lot of phoney info that never worked. I begged Esther Brady (who'd lost 60 pounds in 9 months) to help me, when she was studying in the UK. She got me started and I had immediate success. Happy days! :)

    Oh my lord! That's fantastic!

    I have a pic of me from two or three years after I had my son. I probably weighed about 120.

    I was over 175 after I had him. So I know I can get there again from a high weight (even though my highest well exceeded 175 this time). It may not be a super model pic, but I look darn good in it.

    I've lost 75 pounds. I have 25 to go.

    I inspire myself.

    Firstly - Congrats!
    Secondly - I agree, I am my own motivation! I look at me last year (96.7kg/212.74lbs) and then I look at me now (67.5kg/148.5lbs) and I know that I'm almost there.

    Watching people like Oprah and Kirsty Alley yo yo dieting and not maintaining their weight has not been inspiring, yet it is human.

    Great work, DomiRicard! You look great :)

    I'm gonna say Cameron Diaz (but, no way for the legs to be as good):
