Red face Inspired but lack motivation sometimes

I always thought I could get inspired by many things in my life to lose weight but it's hard to stay motivated. I have four wonderful kids and I started losing wieght for them many times but didn't. I have health problems and shouldn't I want to lose since cancer and heart attacts have hit my family. So then why am I still so big. It was not until I went on a Army sponcered marriage retreat in September that I felt I really needed to do somthing. I wanted to look really nice for my husband since we haven't gone away anywhere without the 4 kids ever. But I felt not so pretty and very uncomfortable in my own skin. I want to make myself feel sexy again so I changing, for my kids, health, family and myself. I have all these inspirations I just have to keep up with the motivation.

Long term inspiration - I want to set a great example for my daughter by living a healthy and active lifestyle. I DON'T want to be a fat mom.

Short term inspiration - we're building a pool in our backyard, which means pool parties lurk in my future and I'd like to feel comfortable in the pool rather than hiding my behind behind the BBQ island.

I don't know if sounds a bit superficial, but I have to say clothes are big motivation booster. I’d love to be able to go into any shop I like and not have to worry about whether I’ll actually find anything in there. There’s this shop called ‘Bay’ in the UK and they stock some really nice items in there, but the problem is they only go to a size 14. So yeah, I think I’ll feel as if I’ve truly reached my goal if I can go into a shop like that and find something nice.

There’s never really been a person who I look to for inspiration, when it comes to weight at least. As long as I’m comfortable with my weight that’s all that matters.

Randy N will become famous soon enough
I decided to lose weight because i'm afraid to develop health problems. Diabetes and hypertension run in the family.

Also i want to look better. I faced the fact that 99% of women dont imagine themselves with fat guys.... to be brutally honest i'm fat and i dont go for fat women, only the slim ones. So i figured if i want to date girls i'm attracted to i gotta lose the weight. Bottom line


BTW i'm not saying i would not Date a heavier girl, cause i would, i'm just stating that they dont cause me to break my neck when walking the down the street

skinni has a reputation beyond repute
I used to be skinny as a child, and I used to feel very agile and energetic, even though i was so skinni i was considered too sick to go out and play :/

And suddenly, i was a chubby teenager who had to stop to catch her breath after a flight of stairs. In my mind, i've always seen myself as an energetic and agile person, but really was slipping farther and farther away from my ideal.

I had two wake up calls : We once did a moderately difficult 25 kilometer trek through hilly jungle terrain once, and I was so out of shape, i started to have tunnel vision and soon thought i was going to die. I wouldn't admit to finding the trek difficult, adn I once went away from our camp site to hide behind a tree and have a cry because I was so exhausted. That was a low point, and i decided to get back in shape.

A second and very loud wake up call was when a dear friend, died at the age of 23 of obesity related heart problems.

I am not doing this so much to look thin, as I am to get very fit, to build my stamina up, and be able to do all the out door activities that we love to do.
I want to reach an ideal BMI, an optimal fat %, and add a good amount of muscle to my frame.

Short-term: I need to meet the Air Force's weight limit to join.

Long-term: I don't want all of this extra baggage on me forever!!!

When I was in high school, I remember how everyone said that I should be a model. I remember telling them that I wasn't skinny enough (although back then I weighed in at only 124 lbs.)! Oh man how I miss that "model" body!!!

It's only been like three years since high school, and just a few weeks ago I weighed in at 172 lbs. (I'm only 5'2")

I started dieting, and now I'm down to 158lbs. but I have a long way to go, and due to my voracious appetite, I'm not getting there very fast!!!

Hi, when we are awakened, get a big idea, brainstorm*, brainwave, creativity, elevation, encouragement, enthusiasm, exaltation, flash*, genius, hunch*, illumination, impulse, incentive, positive influence, insight, motivation, motive, muse, notion, rah rah, revelation, rumble, spark, spur, stimulation, stimulus, thought, vision, whim from others or events in our lives which cause us to action this is a great thing. I think it can be stimulating to our senses and sensitivities. I look for things in my environment that create or initiate motivation for me. Sometimes it is putting my perfume on my coat in the cooler time of year. Other times burning a candle at dusk. The towels I choose for my kitchen, even the plates, silverware, glassware, mugs and cookware. Each has a flavor and a color. They make my cooking environment. Or buying kitty tuna for a special treat. This helps me. I take medicine that has caused my thyroid to quit working, only when I take it. I am trying to get something that won't do this. I just gained 40 lbs when they put me on it. Some of it is me but the medicine I have to fight against too. My eating habits are the same year round I do not have a weight issue off the medicine but I do on it. Its a bear. I need to watch my calories more and change the caloric value of the foods I eat inorder to fight this battle. I do walk, more in better weather. I have a back condition worsened by this weight. So I have a battle and I am surrounded so all the inspiring words and deeds are appreciated from this point of view. Thank you

Why do I want to lose weight:

Because I want to feel beautiful, because I want to be able to wear anything I want, because I want to feel confident and know that I have a lean, lovely form that is ready for the jump into hyperspace in 2012, because I want my body to match how I feel my mind is, because I want to be irresistable to men, because I want to be hot and join all the hot bitches that I could never beat before, because I want men to spend money on me, because I want people to listen when I talk, because I want people to take me seriously, because I want to be able to lift heavy things, because I want to have good stamina, because I want to move my body in aesthetically pleasing ways, because I want to feel confident in the bedroom in any position, because I like to wear real slutty clothes, because daddy never loved me enough or maybe he just didn't spank me enough, because i want to feel like i live in a video game, because i want magical powers, because i want to nearly cause car accidents, because i want to be able to say now all yall bitches know that katie's in the house LOL

What motivates me is not being the fat friend anymore. It sucks when all your friends are tall, gorgeous and skinny and your not. Also, to wear cute summer clothes and not feel self conscious and of course skinny jeans!

I am inspired by the thought of having better sex. Looking cute in clothes. Having tone. Getting attention. Being healthier.

There are so many more reasons to lose weight then there are to keep it on or gain more. I am never going back!

what's your height, Jaicelle?

my goal is to have BMI about 18 as well, but in this forum it's the first time when I see someone else trying to reach it, like everyone want to have healthy weight, but + I want to be realy slim ;]

nice to feel that I'm not alone
