in Introduce Yourself
This may not apply to all of you but if it does, what famous person or person gets you motivated to lose weight?
For me, I've always wanted a smile like Frankie Muniz and I'm aiming at losing weight around my face, I've lost weight on my stomach but my face still looks bloated, this is the kind of smile I am aiming for :)

    People get inspiration from others. Motivation is an internal thing. You're either motivated to do something or not.

    Someone can tell you all the right reasons to do something/achieve something, but unless one wants to truly do it, it ain't gonna happen.

    I'm inspired by Jerry Rice and Frank Zane.

    I don't need anybody but myself to give me motivation.

    Myself? Being the best me I can be, and of course better health is motivating too.

    Like ninerbuff said. (Except I'm not inspired by a celebrity).

    Haters. The people who treat you badly because of your weight. Health comes second.

    I'm not really motivated by any celebrities because it's all Photoshop and standards I don't want to live up to. I personally am motivated by pictures of myself 5 years ago when I was at my ideal weight.

    Maybe motivation was the wrong word.. I mean, the way that helps me not eat over my calories limit is reminding me who or what I want to look like

    My father who was a strong and vigorous man until he retired. He then declared he was going to eat whatever he wanted. 50 lbs later, two heart attacks, two strokes and 6 months on a respirator struggling to let go.

    This powerful man died in agony from congestive heart failure.

    motivation is like a shower.. recommended daily.. you need to make your own motivation.. Fake it till you make it! I surround myself with positive people and support. That way when I don't feel like pushing play I see all my challengers, friends, family, and trainers getting it done and im like well they can do this ... they have time... i got this..

    I never regret it... and then I'm happy! and I post... to help spread and pay it forward :) if one person sees me doing it and that inspires them to get it done... i did my job!

    Inspire the world and you inspire yourself in the process
