    Looking at old photos of myself when I was really overweight and thinking about how far I have come and that I don't want to get myself back in that place mentally or physically.

    And the fact that when I'm eating well and exercising regularly, I am 100% happier!

    I started when things were all starting to piece themselves together in the aim to get fit and healthy again and in the process I kind of lost all that and just kept doing it for the sake of seeing it through and having a single driving motion. Think I'll keep going just to make some people see how far I can go.

    The desire to improve at my chosen sports. I do both fencing and Brazilian Jui Jitsu. I compete to see how I compare to others but love the belt system in Jui Jitsu as well as it allows me to measure my journey in a practical way. I'm still a little white belt, but watching my team mates grade inspires me to persevere knowing that one day I will earn a blue belt too.

    Thank you all for your responses! I like how this community steps up and pushes each other. Mine is twofold..just wanting to be a positive role model to those around me for one and also getting ready for my first sprint triathlon for another.

    Motivation is fleeting. It comes and goes. My obsession to be the best version of myself keeps me going when I feel like training or not. Discipline is key too.

    Hi!
    What is motivating me now is quite simply health. We moved from a college town in WV to a tourist area on the coast of SC. For the last year my husband & I have been eating like we were on vacation...so 15 lbs later the madness has to stop! So back to what works.....healthy eating ....& excerise!
