Am interested to know what incentives you give yourselves to keep going?
As my long term goal is to lose 70lbs I decided I need to save to be able to replace my wardrobe, so I'm using a savings incentive per one pound lost. I have found it surprisingly easy as I'm not wasting money on fast food crap and snacks anymore (if the Starbucks UK stock price is suffering I think I can take some responsibility for that!). A friend of mine has treated herself to things like spa days when she lost 10% of starting weight etc - what do you all do?
I've never done the whole reward thing, mostly because I didn't think it was necessary. But I actually figured out a goal for myself for this challenge
If I reach 165 by the end of the year, I am rewarding myself with a pair of Toms shoes. It's not super extravagant or anything, but it's something I've wanted, but didn't want to buy just because. Incentives are good motivators

So, here's where I'm at guys: Yesterday, my friend was slamming my door shut, not knowing I was right behind the door (Inside the room) and totally K-O'd my nose. I have never been physically hurt before, especially in the face, so naturally, today I stayed in bed and was in pain (Missed my yoga class). :S My mom, for breakfast, got me a Costco Chocolate muffin (HELLO 690 calories) and my dad brought me pizza for dinner. (It's technically my favorite food)- I barely made it inside of my allotted calories for the day (With only 23 calories left over) ugh. In 20 days, this is the first time I have "slipped"- and It was just such a dumb, random thing to happen, but it happened.
I'm kinda worried for tomorrow, my body is still feels achy, and I don't feel like doing anything :S
Agh, motivation, anyone? Maybe I should watch the biggest loser, even with their bad knees or whatever, THEY exercise right? ...ugh...0 -
My first day on the weight loss program is tomorrow ,10/19/11, and I weighed in today at 10/18/11 at 236.4 pounds. My goal is to weigh 212 pounds by the end of the year. If I lose 2 pounds per week I should be able to get to 212 pounds in 12 weeks. I am having the hardest time sticking to a weight loss program and my weight just keeps moving up and it scares me.0

So proud of everyone! I RAN today for 25 out of my 50 minutes and I liked it! OMG I never thought I would ever say that!0 -
Great job everyone! I love that y'all are sticking with the challenge
In the two weeks since I last weighed in, I lost about 4 pounds, which I'm pretty excited about! As long as I stay on track with my eating, I have no doubt I will meet my goal!
