I can't stay motivated!!!!! &also what motivated you to change your weight.

Okay, so basically at the end of the day when i get home work ∨ school, I have absolutely not motivation to do anything but sit on my bed with my laptop.

And I might be going to Mexico in Feb or August, so I want to look fantastic, but I can't bring myself to do a lot of stuff right now.
I've lost about 20lbs, but i just have not seen the inches come off very well.

Sooo.......

Motivation tips anyone?? :]

& what originally motivated you to lose weight?

oddly enough, one of the things that keeps me motivated in a thread i started where everyone checks in on fridays. i am so competitive i can't stand the thought that i not be down a pound or more when i check in !! LOL

so i have taken up walking about 4-5 hours a week and playing tennis for 2 hours a week because i loathe driving in to the gym! :-)

there are several things that motivated me to lose weight. none of them PC or 'right'. one was that i came back from a vacation in mexico having lost a few pounds from montezuma's revenge... and my hot neighbor noticed!  LOL  i also had stayed at a topless beach and i didn't like being the 'big girl'. 

Secondly, at the pool this summer one of the kids called me by another woman's name... a woman who i think is very heavy and unnatractive.  god help me, i will NEVER be mistaken for her again!!!

what keeps me going aside from my thread?  the compliments and head turning i get from other people. i like fitting in my pants. i like myself better. i love that my husband loves my body (he loved it before but it was hard for me to accept!)

i have lost 17 pound so far. my goal is 70 pounds total.  so i am not even on the down slope... but i have to check in a gain on friday so i got to keep pick up the pace! :-)
