What do you do to keep yourseld motivated and to stay on track, to keep losing weight, eating right and exercising??

I always try to picture myself where I want to be and what I will be wearing when I get there.

Another thing that I do is I will buy an anticipation outfit and make it be my motivation

I reward myself with nice w/o outfits whenever I reach a goal.

As they say, nothing taste as good as thin feels, my gf told me this is from her WW meeting. I like that a lot

I love to exercise, so there I do not need too much motivation, when I feel like my workouts are getting redundant and not challenging me anymore, I try different classes, african dance, aqua aerobics, boxing etc.

Every day in every way I am getting better and better.
Every day in every way I am healthier and healthier.
Every day in every way I am happier and happier.

Re: THE MOTIVATION & GOALS THREAD

Yes....I like her very much and thank her for cheering us on....

I do have one small request though.....maybe we could name her something else...something that does not conjur up thoughts of sinful eating!

Re: THE MOTIVATION & GOALS THREAD

YOu ladies have me rolling in tears at my desk, when I think of muffin I think of a happy California cheerleader who is just so happy about everything. I think I should have gone with something like Muffy instead

So what do you all say we name her???

Re: THE MOTIVATION & GOALS THREAD

I am motivated by a new lifestyle that I have obtained since working out and losing weight.
I feel better. I look better.
I feel like I'm 21 again. However, this time I'm not starving myself.
My friends, family, co-workers, trainer, and the friends I have made at the gym motivate me.
Truthfully, the motivation needs to come from the desire to make your body look its best.
