    As long as you want it, you will have the motivation to do it. It all comes from within

    Well said. I also have mini goals and rewards to hit.

    I look at pictures from before I had my daughter, I also keep trying on my favorite skinny jeans I won't quit until they fit like they used to:-) that's how I keep myself motivated

    Right... the before and after. I know exactly where I want to be and the old pictures give off just enough motivation.

    My major motivation is how badly I want it. But when I really need motivation, I have a couple of specifics:

    First, I think about all of the people who have made me feel inferior in the past because of my weight, and that helps me work harder because I want to prove them wrong. Second, I look through the websites of designers and clothing stores I'd like to shop at and pick out some clothes I would love to wear and imagine how amazing it'll be when I finally can.
