  1. Hi all,

    Just wondering what are some things that keeps you motivated?

    What keeps me motivated is the nice compliments that my DH gives me. Plus the fact that WW's is
    really working and I'm doing it with ease.

    Take care, SPOONS

    Hi all,

    Just wondering what are some things that keeps you motivated?

    I am motivated by the thought of wearing my skinny pants again - the ones with the nice a_ _ ;o)
    I am very motivated by the scale, the measuring tape and the fact that my DBF can SEE and feel
    the progress.

    I just want to look GREAT! Great body, great hair, great skin:o) I may be the divorced mother of a 5
    year old, but I am still 26 (at least for 4½ more months:o) - the prime of my youth and I deserve to
    look great, like I used to:o)

  3. I can't abide the thought of feeling as sluggish as I did when heavier, and
    the compliments don't hurt at all, Lee

    I feel so much better! And smaller clothes take up less space - so I can fit more in! 😉

    What keeps me motivated is a dream. A dream to be thin and healthy.

  7. My current motivation is lack of clothing! I have ridded the closets and drawers of every item that
    was too big - and I do not ever want to replace them with the same sizes. If I'm going to have to
    spend money on clothing, it's finally going to be on things that I like, look and feel good in ...
    NOT things for me to hide behind. Oh, and being able to keep up with the grandkids. That is a most
    wonderful feeling! I can now get down on the floor to play, roll around, run, chase, etc. - and I
    love the giggles that always come from the activity.

  8. My motivation is trying to get under Fred

  9. My motivation comes when excercise seems easier and easier, which it does...and it gives me way more
    energy than I had before. Then I reward myself with a new top for the gym or yoga!

    Plus, when I break 150, I'm going to get a new suit for work...a really cool jacket and pants maybe
    from Banana Republic or Zara. I can't wait.

    Just wondering what are some things that keeps you motivated?

    I have a pair of size 12 (US size 10) leather trousers. They are so soft and are unworn (My DH got
    them for me when I first started - he said it was something to aim for and to me it shows me he
    believes that I can do it).

    When I started I wore a size 30 jeans, so far I'm down to a 16, so I'm well on the way. I want to
    wear them on my 35th birthday - in October this year.

    You lot! I have to keep posting my weight and I hate to tell you I've gained.

  17. Thanks Bird. I think he even answered me. But I didn't get it. I am kind of slow here.... I am in
    such a great mood today though. My car is acting strange, and it is under warranty, and when I took
    it the first time to get looked at, they gave me the "ditsy female" treatment... you know the one.
    Yes, yes, yes, we can fix that. Then "come get it" and when I did, they say "nothing is wrong, we
    checked it and it didn't do "that"'... And of course when I started it to show them, it still
    didn't. Got it home and it did it again... So I called a salesman I knew and said hey, you guys
    better give me a heads up about this car or somebody is going to regret it in a big way. This
    morning I took it back, and had my bike stuck in the trunk, so I would not be TRAPPED there. I was
    telling the service guy that I wanted it fixed, and it had better be fixed before they called me to
    get it... I was nice, but very firm. The salesman saw me, and next thing I know the service manager
    is out there, and the owner... Long story, but if I had still been the "me" of years past before
    this success with my weight I would probably be driving the thing like it was. I told the service
    manager that if it was happening 8 out of 10 times when I drove the car there must be somebody
    around there that could make it happen for them, and I didn't want it back until.....

    Then I got my bike out of the back and peddled myself home. The traffic was very aerobic. I feel
    like Zena again. This Keeps me Motivated. I am Acting like the Strong woman I am...
