edited December 2024 in Motivation and Support
I bought workout clothes 2 new sports bras (I never knew a non walmart sports bra was worth the money but my girls and back can enjoy a workout now)
Also bought 2 shirts with built in sports bras (not as supportive of the girls but more coverage for the front when working out of the house)
I also bought a yoga dvd (I think i should have got a beginners one, this one is too hard)
My boyfriend (he has started being so supportive. He even joined me for a class on my Zumba Fitness: Rush game)

    I have like my own person gym at home, my fiance's massive weight bench, elliptical, treadmill, bike, weights, endless dvds lol

    My motivation is my wedding dress hanging in the corner of our workout room that I look at, it's strapless, fit and flare, and all I think is I don't want to look like a blob on my wedding day!

    Joining here has motivated me loads. i have made lots of new friends and have been incredibly inspired by the stories of the members. I have also joined the gym (which isn't my sort of thing - I guess) but I bought lots of new songs on iTunes to get me motivated and it has really helped.

    I also love the tickers on the site as seeing you move towards your goal is very motivating.

    Sounds as if you've had a great week! I'm so happy for you!

    I've got 2.5 more weeks to hit my total weight loss goal of 15lbs before I go to the indoor water park with my brother and his family. I had lost a previous 3 before joining this site, so I need at least 5 more! Ultimately I want to get back down to my "normal" weight of 105-110...

    The sun has been shining so bright lately - perfect for morning jogs outside, and I can kill two birds with one stone by working on my tan ;). I had surgery exactly three weeks ago and am nearly fully recovered. I love that I can finally get back in the gym. My mom also bought me a new sports bra the day after my surgery. It has been the comfiest thing ever!

    My boyfriend paying me a visit when I was feeling a little sick over the weekend. I was acting sad, he tried to tickle me, I said "Don't touch my fat!" and he looks at me with the most adorable faux-confused expression and says "What fat? You lost 2 pounds!"
    He then proceeded to continue tickling me :)

    My boyfriend is the same way. He couldn't come up with a flaw in my body if I begged him too. Love is blind. I'm glad I'm learning to love myself. :)

    My motivation is seeing all my beautiful friends on MFP doing so well, it motivates me to keep going.

    And just being able to get back into my exercise routine this week after being so sick last week is awesome!

    We can all do this, I KNOW we can!

    My motivation this week is that I am 1.2 lbs away from my next mini goal...and my treat to myself for reaching it is to get a pedicure. I'm planning on getting a pedi on Saturday, so I need to reach my goal in order to justify the pedi! :D

    This week I started a new workout plan!!! I'm super motivated because it's the first week, but I know how things can go downhill, so I started a blog as well :-) I'm hoping that writing a little each day will help me out :-)

    I saw the one in Stockton, but I did one a couple weeks ago in Manteca, so didn't want to try another one so soon. One per month sounds good to me right now. :)

    Have a fantastic time at the Stockton one, and good luck!!

    I have actually felt very unmotivated lately and need something to really inspire me to get back on track and feel good again! I have been thinking of things to help, but so far have come up empty. I guess it is just my current funk, but I know I will get there again! I have too! For the rest of you.... GREAT JOB!

    My SIL is getting married next Saturday and I would love to return the dress I bought and get a smaller size. Not quite there yet. Although it's already a size smaller than I was in January so if I can't exchange it, it's not the end of the world. :smile:

    The fact that day 6 of 30DS is so much easier has motivated me to keep going.
    Also, I got a HRM and I freaking LOVE this thing!

    Allowing myself to "start over" after a lapse, some health issues and a heaping helping of laziness. After returning from my vacation, I insisted that I get back on track. 2nd chances and MFP inspire me!
