    The fact that I know I look pretty good when Im not so fat. When I start losing weight, I get compliments about how good I am looking. Makes me feel amazing

    My motivation is fear.... fear I will gain all the weight back and fear I will have all the health issues my mother has.

    I have two motivations right now. I want to look good when I look in the mirror and get use out of my new somewhat expensive running shoes.

    I found when the "hey are you losing weight?"comments start ,that seems to be the motivation and finally gives you some confidence that other people notice your hard effort

    Nike ads! they are so well produced hahaha.

    Not having to search for things in "my size". i.e. walk into a shop and buy whatever clothes I want.

    Health and fitness so I can avoid getting type 2 diabetes like everyone else in my family and can be a better judo competitor if I compete.

    People tend to like you more when you are fitter and not fat. It is a just an instinctual thing and makes sense.

    Not having a ghetto booty ;)

    Health - my family has heart problem history

    My Fiancé - we've been together for 8 years already and although I know he loves me no matter what, I want to always keep him interested and proud that he's got an awesome fiancé/wife to be.

    I don't want to be skinny, I want to be strong and fit, so I lift heavy weights 3 days a week, I do cardio 3 days a week and I'm getting back into the stretching work outs too.

    I finally realized that I do want kids and I want to be healthy when I have them and also for them as they grow so that they grow up taking care of themselves the way that I did.

    I know I'm not old, but hitting 35 soon. I want to enjoy these years while I'm still young and look GOOD! I'm so much more confident when I'm looking and feeling good. When I look around, it seems like the majority of people are overweight. i dont want to be in the category anymore. A healthy weight to me mean success.

    The feeling I get from achieving something! A 10km run, a high intensity class at 6am (!!) or clocking up the kms in my half marathon training.

    My boyfriend too - and looking awesome in little clothes. They help too!!

    My son, he is a junior in high school and excels at sports. He works so hard and watching him sprint or lift weights makes me feel happy and inpsired. I have also found that it I work out hard and consistantly I want to eat better. I don't want to waste all that hard working out.

    Beach, bikini and not having to make up excuses to my kids why I don't want to go to the waterslides. My weight shouldn't put a block on fun summer activities but it does. This year will be a different story :)

    The fact that every day after I finish exercising, and random times during the day, my skinny sister asks me to lift my shirt so she can see my stomach and says "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUUUUUUUUUM" and always talks about my "shrinking stomach.' It makes me really happy xD

    I can agree with not wanting to be the fattest one in the family. My family is asian, and so everyone is like pencils and yeah. But I think my deepest motivation is being able to do the things I love without feeling dead at the end.
