Im just starting to feel my motivation starting to slip, so i would love to know what keeps you guys going, whether its your dream wardrobe or family, friends or whatever. I just thought it would be nice to put a positive spin on things and to see what works for most people!! :)

    What keeps me motivated is that I want to be around for a long time. I am not getting any younger and I haven't felt this great in years. Just seeing my progress over the last 2 years and how proud my family is of me has kept me on this journey.

    What really motivates me the most is wanting to have a healthy lifestyle; to live long for my daughter. Diabetes and high blood pressure runs in both my mother and father's sides (both grandmothers had diabetes, my mother has both and dad has high blood pressure). My mother is only 47 years old and has been in and out of the icu...she always spent her time taking care of others and not watching out for her own health. I also want to be a good example to other family members who are overweight or obese and help get them to be more health concious.
