Where does your motivation come from

Looking at peoples transformation pictures on here! When I'm feeling sluggish and not up to working out I have a look through this forum and get motivated by other peoples success. One day it WILL be me! :-)

Shedding my health issues before they become bigger problems!
Living as comfortably and healthfully as I can so that I can enjoy a life that lives up to its potential (longevity, quality of life, etc).
Looking great, but more importantly, feeling great! Certain activities don't wind me as much as they used to and I feel happier and more energetic.
I lost most of my anxiety and depression by exercising daily and taking steps to better my physical health.

EDIT: Sorry you asked about today, only! I read too quickly.
My answer is that the sun is shining beautifully, the scale is down, and I can't wait to get outside and get some exercise in

My motivation comes from literally every step I take. My left ankle has 11 pins and two plates in from an accident I sustained last July Fourth weekend. I could not put any weight on my leg for three months and then I went through four months of physical therapy to learn how to walk again. I am motivated and grateful daily that I can walk to the gym and workout on the Arc Trainer and use the weight machines. I experience pain in every step I take but it is a wonderful reminder of how lucky I am to be upright and moving forward. Losing the weight I gained over the past ten years is part of my grand plan.

my motivation comes from being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
that and a few years ago i was my 'goal weight' and still have all the skinny clothes in boxes. even brought them through a move.

When my motivation drops I just keep telling myself... Today is the day you NEED to keep going the most.. because if I waited for the days that it just comes naturally & easily, or the day where I didn't have to push myself.. then I'd never stay on track - that goes for eating right and exercise.

My health is a big motivation. There is even a bit of an "EFF You" to all those who have doubted me in my life.

I just happened to come across a vacation photo from September.......wow, I can't believe I was actually that big......made me sad but motiviated me to keep on going. I'm the lightest I've been in 8-9 years and my stamina has increased significantly.....that keeps me going

My personal motivation comes from God, God the Father, God the Son/Jesus and God The Holy Spirit (Today ) The God of Abraham, Isaac ,Jacob and Jesus

I woke up this morning in a complete ugly funk. I started thinking about Jesus...how He lived His early life, being subject to imperfect parents, family members and everyone about Him and how HARD it must have been for Him--yet He did it and learned obedience thru what He suffered.

Then I started thinking about God The Father. How Merciful and Kind He Is to me--to bless me with The Knowledge of Himself and His Way, Truth and Life (which is sheer unadulterated foolishness to the world, the flesh and devil ), how He sees me blowing it day after day, not following Him as I should and things that just must break His heart how we live down here on earth, yet--He's Faithful and just and gave me another chance, because He woke me up this morning. He suffers long...and is kind and so should I be with my newLIFEstyle.

Then I started thinking about The Holy Spirit...How He is so different from me, How He leads me and guides me and helps me more and more to say YES to the people, places and things (food, drinks, stuff) He wants me to say YES to NO to the people, places and things He wants me to say NO to. No longer allowing ANYONE (including my own self/flesh) to deter, distract or dissuade me from my mission to be a better witness to/for Him (via my weight loss journey and living my life in general) and to LOVE others the same way and even more than I love myself.

That motivated me to not nurse a nasty tude, but to get my tail outside and walk, then come back and work-out, and look to Him for advice, direction, guidance on what to eat, drink, do, go, be TODAY...that's my motivation today---God is my motivation.

Note: Even though you specifically said for "TODAY" this is my motivation yesterday, today and forever

My motivation is from seeing my progress and knowing that I am in control today. I have the ability and privilege of eating well and doing healthy things for my body - something a lot of other people don't.

I sort of took my ability to run for granted until I realized some people absolutely cannot run (due to disability, accidents, etc) or are fighting health battles (like cancer). I'm grateful to not have either and want to celebrate that with treating myself right.
