Motivation
For some of us trying to lose weight or become healthier people, motivation can be hard to find - and inspiration can prove elusive - I wonder what motivates you?
What inspires you?
Is it your kids? Parent? Friend's Cousin's Brother in Law?
A picture of a magazine taped to the fridge?
The way your jeans look - or don't?
Perhaps by sharing yours, you might help someone else find his or hers?

Re: Motivation
My kids. I want to be a good example for them as far as health and a relationship with food goes. I also want to make sure to be around as long as possible to experience their lives.
Also myself. I just feel uncomfortable and unhappy. This is not how I want to live.

Re: Motivation
What motivates me is my clothes. I was getting to a point where my clothes weren't comfortable anymore and I don't have the money to buy new ones.
Also my sister is getting married in June and although even if I lose weight I will still be heavy for it, but I look at pictures from my other sister's wedding in 2009 and I hate the way I look. I was at my heaviest then and completely miserable.

Re: Motivation
The mirror!!!
At first I was very motivated to lose weight because I was getting married and wanted to look good in my dress.
Now after seeing how great I look and all the compliments I get, I'm very motivated to keep the weight off.
I actually love my body now! I love buying smaller clothes sizes. I love looking good in anything! Its just a great feeling.

Re: Motivation
My goals used to be looks, but it changed to more of a fitness focus - I am motivated to get through a half marathon - maybe in a decent amount of time, and I want to do the warrior dash and I need to get fit overall for that....
That is what is really motivating me...
