My kids motivate me! I want to stay healthy for them! I love them so much and want to be a good mom! I have 2 kids a son - 3 and daughter almost 2. I want to lose the rest of the weight that I gained having back to back prengancies and not shedding it all! I need to lose about 25 pounds. Hopefully can do that before summer!

I am just not comfortable being anywhere out of the 120-125 range. Feel like a huge blob of fat, plus at 120-125 I usually feel the most harmony with my body (image, health and performance).

tall, thin scandinavian girls motivate me!! american in stockholm

i feel your pain. Tall, thin yoga girls motivate me- American in Bali

Motivation: I feel relatively healthy, but I want to feel consistently at my best. I want to be comfortable going out and doing outdoor activities with people who are currently more fit than me. I want to look good, and look good in clothes I'd like to wear (yeah, it sounds shallow, but it's true.). Most of all, I just really want to *be* fit.

I have a graduation on May 5th of this year. I'll finally have my Masters. I want to look HAWT! I was about 40 pounds lighter when I came in for my Bachelors 7 years ago.

Looking better in my clothes.

Sorry to hear that perfectdivisi! I hope you can find something new to help you stay motivated!

The hope of shopping in regular ladies department motivates me! I would love to shop at stores that don't have a plus size line, too!

I want to get rid of all the college pounds and be healthy again. Soon down the road I'll be settling down and I want to be living a healthy lifestyle before I get married and have kids so that I can have a healthy family and it will be easier to keep myself healthy if it's already a habit! I'm also an "apple" shape and all the things I read about belly fat and heart disease scare me!

I know how you feel. I'm recently trying to overcome my motivation depleting itself from my life. I'm trying to fight it more and more everyday and just suck it up and work out, eat better, etc. I hope you find something important enough in your life to help motivate you again!

My motivations:
- Honestly, having my clothes fit me better and to hopefully lose enough weight to start a whole new wardrobe!
- Feel better about myself and stop having such low self esteem. I want to feel better about being in my own skin.
-TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT I CAN DO IT!!...and partially to rub it in the faces of people who didn't believe in me. ;]
- To overall be a healthier, fitter, skinnier [but not too skinny] version of myself and not be disgusted by the girl in the mirror anymore!

I want to overall be healthy, happy and feel great.
Short term-My family owns our own beach so summer is ALL about the bikini. I want to FINALLY look good and feel good in one. In my preteens it was no boobs, now its too much chubbiness. Aiming for tight and toned!
Add me if you need a buddy!

A long term goal! My dad's wedding is in 4 months and I want to look amazing in a dress for once instead of the usual black pants. It's a 12 hour drive away and near the ocean so going to have TONS of pictures in summer clothes, having fun, sun shining and I want to be able to have an amazing time and look fantastic. That has kept me so motivated because at the rate I'm going I'll meet my goal right around that time so it seems do-able and I think if I can keep going for 4 months it will have become a habit by then so I'll keep it up
The only other big goal I've had was fitting into my grad dress which worked awesome, it was almost too loose that morning! Only problem was it was just over a month so that night came, had the big buffet and all went downhill from there.
So have a deadline that's far away to make permanent but close enough to keep you motivated.
And find pictures of goals! Take progress pics, outfits you want to wear, etc

I want to feel better about myself and not be an overweight mom. I want to be able to keep up with my active son & set a good example for him so he doesn't struggle with weight like I have throughout my life.

A nice sunny day makes me want to go out and do something, and seeing the numbers on the scale go down have kept me at it. Even though I've only lost 6 lbs I still feel great. Proud of myself that i've kept it up for so long.
