Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?
My uncle started MFP and after he tried WW and various diet trends this has by far worked out the best for him and he hasn't even begun working out. Granted I have a lot less weight to lose and definitely need to work out. I'm the smallest one in my family which isn't saying much. A lot of people can tell when I have been working out and staying true to MFP. I get instant results and there is nothing sweeter than having your friends ask you what you did to lose the weight. :0)0 -
Impromptu Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?
Kind of. My good college friend decided that we were going to be weight loss buddies at the New Year. We had talked about it in the past, but that random statement was exactly what I needed. Now, my sister who has been the overweight one in the family has also lost a ton of weight and that motivates me to keep going.0 -

Not really. Both sets of grandmas, and one grandpa, are overweight and I guess seeing how they are living is a little inspiring, but not directly. the thing that, besides starting to have to shop in the plus sizes, was when a customer at work stopped me and asked if I had just had a baby...0 -
Tuesday QOTD: How many cheat days/rest days do you allow your bodies and how would you describe your cheat days?
I don't do a cheat day if I can help it...but I usually try to take one day off from physical activity per week. In a perfect world!
When I'm working, however, it's nearly impossible to get a workout in. I get up at 6am and don't get home until 8pm or later, and so I tend to just go into survival mode!!0 -
Wednesday QOTD
EmilyTgs24 - it all started with her (my college roomie) - :-) we went on a free fun trip to Vegas and were both LARGE - I'm going to post that picture - I was always big, we started then, that was 2007ish? I got the majority off by 2008 and she turned ethiopian on me before her wedding last year in 2010 - a fitness QUEEN she and her beau were - I never got into fitness just by default my lifestyle as a horse trainer is very physically demanding.
After MY wedding this summer my husband's father had a heart attack, thats when I decided it was time to get HEALTHY - not just thinner. So here I am :-)

Impromptu Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?
Not really for me either...I think I just hate the fact that the scale was slowly creeping upwards with no sign of stopping. Drove me nuts cause I didn't know where it would level off!0 -
Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?
My uncle has had several serious health issues, like strokes and heart attacks all due to his weight. Now, he can't even go to football games because the stairs are too hard for him, he looks a lot older than my dad. My dad on the other hand is 73, works out every day, and is in great shape. He and his girlfriend go dancing, bike riding, and he still runs a company. I've seen a big difference with quality of life between these two. I hope that taking care of my body allows me to get the most out of life.0 -

My jealousy over my skinny friends and skinny cousins and basically every skinny girl...:grumble:
My brother lost weight...gained weight...lost it.... then gained again...:frown:
My boyfriend is muscular and aspires to be a bodybuilder... he works real hard to reach his goal and he looks big so far, but he doesn't think so...:noway:
And of course since he looks so good I got to step up my game and look better than him!!! :laugh:
My parents, my brother, and my grandparents are overweight.
My dad and my grandpa have diabetes.
Oh and my childhood bullies gained weight and I look better than them..so that gives me inspiration too..:devil:0 -
*** YES to childhood girls who thought they were so much better than me and slept with every guy in school. Now they fat and guys are embarrassed to admit they got with them. I have my dignity and my future skinny body for high school reunion. Can’t wait.

To be honest, there really isn't some one I am modeling myself after. I am losing this weight for me!0 -

IS THERE A SONG OR MOVIE, POEM or PAINTING that has inspired you in your weight goal quest?
PROUD (Heather Small)
I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same (yeah)
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Still so many answers I don't know (there are so many answers)
Realize that to question is how we grow (to question is to grow)
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way
Can't stop me now
You can do the same (yeah)
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
(yeah) We need a change (Yeah)
Do it today (yeah)
I can feel my spirit rising
(change, yeah) We need a change (yeah)
So do it today (yeah)
'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud? (to make you feel proud)
(let me hear ya X3)So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
(yeah)'Cause you could be so many people
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?0 -
Awwww thank you! you're too sweet!Like our friend Peanut, she is an inspiration!
I wouldn't say there's one that inspired me to lose weight, but there's one song that ifind really motivating and inspiring: "Life is Beautiful" by Sixx AM.REAL QUESTION OF THE DAY: IS THERE A SONG OR MOVIE, POEM or PAINTING that has inspired you in your weight goal quest?
"Alive
just open your eyes
just open you eyes and see that life is beutiful
do you swear on your life
that no one will cry
at my funeral."
It's a very uplifting song that found it's way to me at a rough time and has always been a way of reminding me it's never too late to make life better.0 -
hmmmmm, not sure about one particular media that has influenced me, my own personal self has influenced me the most.0

Helping my obese aunt out of her hospital bed today after back surgery (removal of 2 discs and insertion of rod) to go pee is motivation enough for me!!!0

Can't say I have any major ones. A girl I work with keeps me motivated. She lost some weight recently and while I've always thought she was thin, now she asks me about what I'm doing and how I'm doing. That keeps me going. My former sisnlaw is a bit of an inspiration because she lost a lot and became a runner. And mostly, there's my good friend Logan who inspires, motivates, and keeps me in check. She knows far too much about me and I am pretty sure that if either of us fell off the bandwagon, the other would kick her back into gear.

I don't have one, but some of my more upbeat music gets me pumped up when I am exercising.0 -
Idk if it inspired me to lose, but when I need that 2nd wind of inspiration, I listen to Matthew Wilder's Break my Stride and Christina Aguilerra's Beautiful.

Impromptu Question: there isn't one person that's inspired me! However diabetes runs heavily in my family and I am at a borderline level before going on meds. I also have pros and really would like to have another baby. Its proving difficult though and of course the doc says lose the weight and things should level out.
Actual question: no I don't really have one0 -

IMPROMPTU WEDNESDAY QOTD: INSPIRATION PPL
hhmm....i'm gonna say my dad. when he went to the doctor not too long ago (the first time since i've known him (25 yrs)), he found out he had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and all the bad stuff. so he started to lose weight, and he's done fantastic! went from around 380 to 318 and still working on it. (i've got a blog about this but i'll tell it again lol) he's a big man too. about 6'4" and huge frame. i mean mountain man frame with the beard and all! lol but he's looking slimmer everytime i go visit. so when i do go home we help each other with our plans and things. nice bonding time since i don't see them much often anymore. now to get my mom with the program......
REAL WEDNESDAY QOTD: SONG, POEM, MOVIE INSPIRATION
hhmmm....haven't given much thought, but when i think about it, a line from an evanescence song entitled "Good Enough" comes to mind: "so take care of what you ask of me, cuz i can't say no."
love this song as a love song for someone, but it could be sung to myself at some parts. great song. love it 0 -
Impromptu: Friends that have lost weight...wanting to be an inspiration for others....and wanting to be healthy for my daughter.
Real: Never really thought about it before. Although I do picture myself looking pretty awesome for my high school reunion and dancing up the night away to every song they play 0 -
I think you can use "cheat day" to "reality check day" interchangeably! The cheat days are where you don't work out, eat too much and end up feeling like a slug! You're bloated, guilty and hopefully realize why and decide you're ready to get back in the game!
Just a thought.0 -
Impromptu Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?
Laura with the red shoes was my original inspiration! And still is!
Since starting to lose weight my husband has been not only my inspiration but also my support. We lost weight together and took turns encouraging each other!0 -
Real Wednesday Question - u2 beautiful day - Mikey and I walked down the aisle to that one at the end of our wedding ceremony. He inspires me daily :-)0

Real Wednesday question: After the storm by Mumford & sons has helped inspire to lose weight in the sense that it made me want to get to a happy place in my life. I can't see myself truly happy with all this extra weight.
There will come a time you'll, see with no more tears
Where love will not break your heart and dismiss your fears
Get over that hill and see, what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.0 -
IMPROMPTU WEDNESDAY QOTD: INSPIRATION PEOPLE
I wish I had some amazing story to tell, but I don't. It's just me. I open up my totes of pre-baby clothes and realize there's no reason that I can't fit back into them. Instead of whining and stomping my feet about how unfair it is, like I used to do, now I just work on what I can for me.REAL WEDNESDAY QOTD: SONG, POEM, MOVIE INSPIRATION
Hmm...I don't think so! Unless you count seeing Victoria's Secret commercials

Wed QOTD: IS THERE A SONG OR MOVIE, POEM or PAINTING that has inspired you in your weight goal quest?
Sadly not, but now I'll look for one0 -
IS THERE A SONG OR MOVIE, POEM or PAINTING that has inspired you in your weight goal quest?
Nope. There are songs that get me moving (Moves like Jagger, Blow by Kesha, etc), but nothing that has inspired me per se.0
