What's your memorial day motivation?

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.

My Memorial Day motivation is to be able to fit into my bathing suit!0

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!0

My bday is May 31, so that is a goal date for me too! My plan is to be in One-derland by then .... or, darn close to it!

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.0

I want to fit back into my old skinny jeans!0

It's the half-way point to my 25th high School Reunion!0

I moved to a house on a lake last summer and plan to spend my free time in a bathing suit on a boat!0
-
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!!!0

I just want to look and feel GREAT in my clothes. Hoping to see some family that hasnt seen me since my brother's funeral in January and want to look AWESOME!!!0

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.0

I'm going to Florida a couple of days before Memorial Day and staying there a week. I want to look and feel sexy in my bikini!0

I'm right there with you!!!! I love baseball especially the Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But also to fit into my bathingsuit better (without the fear of my tatas falling out when I move)0 -
I've really gained this last year - so I just want to be where I was last summer. None of my clothes fit, and my thighs OMG!0
-
Me too, I want to be where I was last year
My size 6 jeans don't fit :sad: and size 8 are to tight:grumble:
I refuse to buy size 10 :noway:
:drinker:0 -
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.0

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!

My motivation is that its half way to my wedding date and I should definately have made progress by then. I have to also order my wedding dress around that time too.0
-
Lets see, my motivation is to buy a new pair of jeans in a smaller size or heck just get crazy and buy a pair of shorts(FYI) I never wear shorts in public!!0
-
My motivation is the 10k I plan to run/walk on June 3rd -my 32nd birthday!!0
-
Mine is to be able to fit into cute summer tops and the dreaded shorts I haven't wore shorts in years! I'd love to be able to rock a cute swim suit this summer too, not talking bikini bc I got the dreaded stretch marks but I got my eye on a few cute tankini types might even get as brave to try a Monokini.0

May 20th is my daughters 1st birthday so I want to be 20 pounds smaller than I was when I gave birth...I'm almost there!
My birthday is May 29th so that helps motivate too.
I'm also in a Biggest Loser Challenge at my jobs that ends May 24th and I could win over $300 if I lose the most!
I REALLY want to meet this goal!0 -
We go away for the weekend for our oldest sons birthday, this always includes pool time at the hotel! This year I want to feel comfortable in a bathing suit.0
-
My first motivation is for an event prior to Memorial Day - April 28th is my sister's wedding, and I want to feel comfortable and confident standing up next to her as her Maid of Honor. I would hate to regret the way I looked, and have my unfit figure forever immortalized in her pictures!
As for Memorial Day...I leave on May 21st for Florida with my boyfriend...that's the date for my Ultimate Goal, so that I can feel comfortable and confident spending a week in a bikini and shorts (plus I love wearing sundresses, and last year I was 15 pounds lighter, and bought a ton of them...I want to be able to wear them all again) !

I have a family vacation coming up in Mid-June. I haven't seen my family since September last year, so I'd love to show off a noticeable difference in the way my body looks, especially on the beach!0

That's awesome! P90X really works if you stick with it. I lost about 13 pounds and 16" (so, trading fat for muscle). I've since done P90X2 and am now doing my first round of INSANITY. I'm loving the beachbody workouts so far.0 -

Awesome! We're birthday buddies. Feel free to friend me if you want some extra motivation.0 -

Actually, that's an awesome motivation. If you can prove to yourself that you can put yourself first despite all the craziness, you'll truly realize long term success. Last year (September-December) was absolutely nuts at work, but I made a point to do my P90X workout no matter how late at night it got. It has really boosted my confidence that I can make the right choices no matter what. I start seeing my TV time as workout time now, and enjoy it.0 -

That is a fabulous birthday present! I did my first 10K in February 2011 and completed a half marathon in May. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!0
