I am turning 30 on Memorial day. Two days later, my husband and I are leaving for Maui to celebrate my birthday and our ten year wedding anniversary. If that's not motivation to get in shape, I don't know what is! I'd love to drop 15 pounds by then, but I'd even settle for 8-10. I'm doing INSANITY to get in shape, and basically eating small frequent meals of un-processed foods, tracking every bite.

    Just the sheer fact that it is the start of SUMMER!! Although I could go to the beach tomorrow, the weather is absolutely perfect right now in Florida! I am turning 30 in August and my ultimate goal was to loose 30 by my 30th, which I am hoping to exceed that. Good luck!

    We bought a boat late last fall so my motivation is to look good in a bathing suit and be comfortable with how I look because we're gonna be on that boat ALL summer!

    My motivation is the unofficial start of summer, which means a lot social activities. I would like to look great for summer. It's also the half way mark to my cousin's wedding in early Nov, where I WILL look great.

    I moved to a house on a lake last summer and plan to spend my free time in a bathing suit on a boat!

    I will be going to Lake Powell for a week of boating and sun soaking fun. The only not so fun part is putting on a swim suit. I want to be the one wake boarding and confident rather than just sitting and taking pictures of everyone else having fun this year!!!

    I leave for Florida 6/1. When I was there last year I was 5 months pregnant. I want to look as amazing as I can by then. I'm on week 3 of P90x so I really hope it works. I want to so badly fit into my old summer clothes so I don't have to buy new and spend vacation money on them.

    All of your motivations are way more fun! Honestly, I have an insane couple of months at work, and Memorial Day pretty much marks the end of it all. I want to prove to myself that I can lose weight while work is crazy (99% of the time) and stop using work as an excuse.

    This is my last year being overweight. I started this journey right around Christmas so at the start of summer, I want to be able to show off what I've never been able to/wanted to show off before. I WILL hit my goal. I WILL make myself proud. I WILL not quit. Im going to be one lean, kick butt mommy! :D
