whats your Number one motivation

Mine is music, and you girls rly get us guys motivated haah

l guess seeing myself in a 2pc bathing suit on a cruise keeps me going.

My mother got breast cancer, and it really hit home for me how precious life is.  I want to be healthy so I can do what I want to, instead of having my health dictate what I can do, for as long as I can.

nice! Its good to be in control,  keep it up

honestly I what truely motivates me is how i want to look

Mine would be my children. I want to be here to watch them grow up, ya know?

Having said that, as precious as my 3 lil' ones are to me, I have still managed to gain 3 pounds back.

I could give lots of excuses as to why I have "fell off" but the bottom line is I lack self control and motivation to keep  a work out routine going for longer than 6 weeks.

Any suggestions? I was doing so good too...I'm so bummed!

At 55yo and no health problems other than being heavy, I realized if I can take off some weight and exercise I probably could see my great grandchildren! I have one grandchild now who is a ton of fun and I want to be able to throw a ball around and do things with him. So....motivation is family. I guess

I have to live long to stay working and recoup what has been lost in the recent stock market problems as well!!!! So less eating saves me money I can put in retirement!
