  • I'm starting a new job soon and i really want a fresh start, i think shedding a bit of the excess weight will give me the confidence to be as good at my job as i can be. also, who doesn't want to look good in a swimsuit?

    My main motivation is to be able to feel good about my body again, to not look into the mirror and be disgusted. That is a HUGE motivation for me and so far has pulled me through, I am just sick of the way I am!! My next motivation is my health. I want to live as long a life as possible..to be able to spend many many yrs with my kids and husband and to health wise feel great!

    I actually like to exercise but on those days where I'm feeling lazy I tell myself my body "DESERVES" to exercise. We were made to move our bodies, really. That's all I need to get off my butt!

    Five of my family members have died in the past two years of cancer. Another one just diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Each one had a different type of cancer. I'm just trying to be healthier, more careful about things, and hopefully beat the odds.
  • -My son. I want to show him a healthy and active lifestyle.
    -My husband. He has type 2 diabetes and I really hope that he will maybe be influenced to clean up his eating habits also.
    -Myself. I have always been uncomfortable. I have always been overweight. I want to feel more confident and comfortable. I also love running and reaching faster times and further distances. It's easier to run with less weight to carry around.

    What keeps my butt pushing and moving on is purely revenge, and seeing a certain someone's face drop after seeing what they lost!!

    Great motivator!!

    LOL I'm with you on the revenge part! Not to mention getting my happiness, confidence, and self-esteem back, all the while mending my broken heart.

    My boobs motivate me.

    Yea, seriously. I paid a fortune, had 2 surgeries.. complications.. but now I love them. Having a great top half and a fat gross bottom half is not acceptable.

    My age is as big a motivator as any other. I dont want to end up a fat old lady. I have too much more living to do.

    My 30th birthday is coming up and lets just say I'm not too happy about it. So I planned a trip to Cuba for it and told myself that if I have to turn 30 then at least I'll be in the best shape of my life for it. :)
