    Mine is this lady that I see at the grocery she has gotten so big she can no longer walk and has to ride on a powered chair. I feel bad for her and do not want that to be me, which I know it will be if I do not make a change....

    As for the person who said to run from Zombies I actually had a dream the other night that I was running with a group to a safe house from zombies and when we got there it was a crawl space into an attic and I did not FIT in the hole. I woke up sweating and thinking wow if that was real I would have died. I need to lose weight.

    One thing (def. not the only thing) is to show up the kids who picked on me in High School. THey called me a bunch of names as I was trying to recover from Bulimia, so I want to see them next summer with a six pack and some killer legs so I can laugh at their faces!

    Oh and I have big girls... They need to shrink a little. Like down TO a DD

    I want to lose weight so my shorts won't ride up between my thighs. That's the weirdest motivation for me. Everything else is pretty normal.

    Oh I HATE that feeling!!

    My ex fiancé has a new girlfriend!
    :D
    She looks *oddly* like me, hmm.... Well, I guess this gave me the motivation to look better.

    Loki played by Tom Hiddleston.

    Dear God, I sound like such a creeper...Well, let me say that I find his cheekbones lovely, and I would have the same face practically in feminine form if I lost these last 50 pounds, lol.

    I know this may sound messed up, but it kept me going during my leg workout today. This was my mantra (and again, it just kinda popped in my head... oops):

    "Must look better than the bride in my bridesmaid dress"

    I'm a bridesmaid (for the first time!) in one of my best friend's wedding this October. I wanna look CUT!!


    Oooooh this is EVIL!!! I like it....mwauhahahaha!

    I'm on the "Be the Match" bone marrow donor registery. Between that and being a regular blood donor, I think of staying healthy so that I can help others be healthy. And, to be honest, occasionally it's seeing people my age and younger who are bigger and not wanting to look like that.

    I'm not sure how motivated I have been lately, but I want to weigh less than my husband. I've not weighed less than him since we met!

    Alien invasion! No seriously. I watched Independence Day and as they were running through a tunnel with fire chasing them, I realised that I wouldn't be able to run away......

    So if aliens invade I'm going to be fit enough to run away! (or fight hahaha)

    Right now I would have to say Delvet. The personal trainer on Biggest Loser. the way he motivates the people on that show just moves me. Everytime I watch him, I just start doing pushups.

    Strangest thing that's keeping me motivated... wanting a motorcycle. I went two years ago and got my M endorsement after taking a class and learning (quickly) to ride after never having set foot in the driver's seat of one. So this is for me... the motorcycle. (and of course the cute leather chaps that will accompany it!

    A Few Things For Me:
    1. The fact that when I lay on My side, I have that little dip where My Waist is... I love it...
    2. My BF and the fact that His Walk is like a Run and I wanna be able to keep up with Him...
    3. Buying cute little dresses... I have 6 already and I wanna add more to My Closet...

    Watching "The Deadliest Catch" and how hard the guys work, usually sleeping just 3 hours for every 48 hour period... if they can work like that, so can I to achieve my goals.

    I am continually reaching my goals, and I KNOW this is mean, but what keeps me still motivated is that the girls I used to envy are now fat!!

    This is a great motivation! I'm on the bone marrow donor registery too.

    And It's thanks to selfless blood donors like you that my husband has so far survived a difficult battle with leukemia. So, THANK YOU!!!

    I love Henry Rollins and his 'Get Some Go Again' album keeps me motivated. I want to get some go again, and whenever I hear that song I workout so much harder :-)

    I have a bunch of wackadoo things that I use for motivation:

    1) The first rule of Zombieland is cardio.
    2) I love chilicheeseburgers. I do NOT love heart attacks.
    3) My girlfriends who make me feel like I'm beautiful - I want to live up to their image of me!
    4) Bouldering - I LOVE going bouldering. I HATE that I haven't had the strength to pull my own weight up a rock.
    5) My dogs: i have to be fit enough to wear out my puppy when we play ^__^
