Hey all.
So I get married June this year and I really want to loose a little weight for our special day.
What motivates you to keep going?

    I'm aiming for my dreams! Healthy and able to take on the world. I've lost 60 pounds and want to lose 100 more.

    Congrats!! I'm getting married in May :) Honestly, getting married is what really helped put me over the edge to get with it and start going. I joined a Beachbody challenge group, love it, and haven't looked back!!!

    Everytime I worked out I thought "Sexy Wedding Dress!!" I also had 2 girlfriends working out with me and eating clean. Have you found an accountability partner to work with?

    To look better when I get to meet my boyfriend of 2+ years... and not have any of his friends think, "He waited so long for that?" Harsh, but that's what it feels like sometimes... And to feel safer while traveling, like I can protect myself better if I need to C:

    Going to Jamaica in May to scope out places for our wedding in February. I would love to be at my goal weight by then (-20) so that everything for the rest of the year is just focused on getting toned! Plus I want to look good in a bikini

    Mostly my children. I've seen my bad eating habits presenting themselves in my young daughter and I'm determined to change. But I'm also doing this for myself, my husband, and I'd love for my parents to see me healthy.

    Mine was vacation, but that's since passed. Now it's me...I like what I see and how I feel, so nothing is going to stop that progress.

    My main goal to get motivated and gain my stamina back, fit and healthy, as the weight loss will follow. To feel and look younger, I want this to be the "year of me!" As I called it.

    My dad lost his ability to walk last year due to diabetes. That was a huge wake up call to me, as I tend to have similar blood sugar issues and could stand to lose 20-30 lbs. Also, a childhood friend is getting married in August and I'll likely see a bunch of people I haven't seen in years. Would like to look/feel good for that :)

    I want to feel good (and look good) for my swimming unit in gym at school. I want to be comfortable with myself for the summer. I want to be comfortable with myself ALL YEAR ROUND. I want to feel good.

    My son was just born January 22nd. So he's been motivating me to get back in shape. I've been really bad with logging and not much exercising. Seeing his little face makes me wants to be a more healthier dad and watch him grow into a man.

    Being brutally honest my motivation is my 20 year high school reunion is this summer. I wasn't fat in high school or at my 10 year reunion and I refuse to be fat at my 20 year. On a second note I'm getting back into running (I ran cross country on high school and college) and signed up for the Bay to Breakers run in May, (it's a 12 K) and have paid the entry fee ($54) and I refuse to waste money (yes I'm cheap), which is great motivation to stay on my exercise and training schedule.
