in Motivation and Support
So as of today, I am officially getting married in a little less than 4 months! Eeek!! That means it's crunch time to try to look my best for the big day, as photos last forever, and I don't want to be mortified in 10 years or so looking at them again.

Anywho, the point of my post. My motivation is my wedding dress. I want to look good in it! Especially my arms, and back. So here it is!

btw pardon the messy room! This is me, as of 10 minutes ago :)

Please, please, please feel free to post your motivation!! Whether it's your kids, your wife/husband/SO, or if it's just to be healthy, I want to know what it is!!

    You already look great, but think how good you will feel when you are less and more healthy! My motivation is for me to be healthy.

    One of my motivations is my fit boyfriend. He has a nice flat stomach with just the right amount of muscle.. He's just such a healthy guy, and he inspires me to be more healthy as well :)
    He's also very supportive of me, and always has kind words about my efforts, which makes it all the more motivating.

    Forgot to add: CLOTHES! I want to fit into cute clothes. I love clothes. Have I said "clothes" enough times?

    Omg that dress makes you look like a mermaid! You look awesome in it!

    My motivation is far less tangible xD There are a lot of things. Experiencing less discrimination, being more fit (and maybe being able to run), and being happier with my general body shape.

    You look wonderful in your wedding dress!
    My motivation it control. My whole life I eat for whatever reason but not for health and not to take care of myself. My motivation it to show myself I can do this. I can control what goes into my mouth and I can cope with life/stress in a healthy manner.(Also, I am a nurse and I know with family history and race I need ti take care of my body). In the process, I have gained so much respect for myself and I feel like I am a stronger person for it. By taking care of myself better, I can be a better friend. I love who I see when I look in the mirror.

    I just want to say that regarldess of how much weight you lose, you and your fiance are happy with the people you are and who your becoming. Then it wont matter in ten years when you look back. You'll just see beautiful people:) Congratualtions!

    I think you already look lovely in your dress!! I know YOU need to feel lovely in it though. My motivation is my Mom she has been over 300 my whole life and she is now 140. I want to feel good again. I like me more and more every pound that comes off!! Best of Luck!!!

    well I would like some new jeans. I currently own 2 pairs. Went shopping for girls day out yesterday and all the stuff I looked at was either xs, s , m, or large. Saw some tank tops for 6 dollars very tempted to buy 2 or 3 but no xl. So why waste my money. It has been a couple of years since I have bought anything new. CLOTHES

    Believe it or not, I haven't ever wore a bathing suit or any kind, that I can remember anyways. I'm sure I did when I was little. That's great motivation!!

    Thank you! :)

    Thank you <3 There is this certain way that I picture myself looking on that day. I hope I can get there.

    Wow, that is awesome! Congrats to your mom!! I was the same way. My mom has always been overweight, and she started losing weight with me, now she only weighs 10 lbs more than me! You should always like you, I'm sure you're an amazing person!
