For me its my family and all of you! But its always tough rolling my butt out of bed @ 0400 to do Insanity for an hour before I have to work a 12 hour shift.
Tell me about the people who motivate you!

Pictures of myself both fit and unfit (mostly these because I'm not fit yet!)
Photos of before and after on here
Particular pieces of clothing that I own that I want to fit into/look good in
Positive reinforcement from trainer and fellow gym members, though some are a bit too full on! Stalkers!
Measurements going down
and finally...
Setting a goal and reaching it...current one is a gym fitness competition at Easter...seeing as I'm currently post op and can't train for 2 wks this might set me back but it won't defeat me. I just have to eat immaculately until I can train again!0 -
The high i get when i see the numbers go down. My kids needs a healthy mom0

The picture of me that my company has on the corporate website. I'm SO embarrassed of it and I've begged they take it down but they won't. So I'm gonna lose this weight and make them re-take the picture.0

My granddaughter who just turned one is my total inspiration I put her picture on the treadmill covering up the time so it goes quicker, lol. I want to watch her grow up and be there for her first day of college. Unlike my own mother who only got to see my baby at 8 years old. It works for me!0

My kids deserve a Dad that can keep up with them and play with them and their friends like the other Dads in the neighborhood.0

My movation is my health, I have high blood pressure and I want to kick the numbers - My grandkids, I want to live to see them get married and look good being there - and lastly, my boyfriend because when I told him I'm going to eat right, exercise and feel good, he said "yeah right". Soooo before I sign up with MFP I I loss 30 pounds and since I've signed up I loss an additional 5. So right now, he's wearing some egg on his face. :laugh:0

It's lovely to read about all you other grandparents/parents on a mission to get healthy for your little people.
My motivation is to see our 33month old daughter grow up and have her own family. I want to be able to run around after grandkids one day...I'll be 58 when she's 25yr old..so am trying my damned hardest to provide her with a healthy and active mum until she's a Mummy herself. Am getting teary just thinking about it0 -
A few weeks ago I went to a playpark with my children. There was a climbing wall and I realised, to my horror, that I was too heavy to lift myself. This immediately triggered two thoughts :
- If the house is on fire and I am unconscious, how is the firefighter expected to lift 200+ lbs to get me out?
- If the house is on fire, how am I going to get my children out if I cannot even lift my own weight?0 -
A combination, but primarily...me. No-one else will shift my bum off the sofa and get me shaking it/squatting it/deadlifting it, so. I've got to want to do it.
My Mum. I had a horrible fear of dying before her of Fat (i.e. heart failure, stroke, anything related to my weight) and her being on her own. All because I couldn't put down the fork.
The Man. He's a stone-cold knockout. I want to be equally as bangin'.
My zumba girls, and the people who attend my class. They take the time to compliment me and talk about inspiration; I cannot and will not let them down.0 -
1. Myself
2. My husband who loved me fat, and loves me now.
3. My kids (being fit and healthy to try to be with them for many years)
4. My kickass friends on here, who have put up with me for over a year.0 -
