I am motivated by the competiter in me to beat what I did the day before and when I am sweating away I visulize the fat evaperateing and it make push that little but harder to evap as many as i can per session. Every ounce counts LOL

I use a couple things to keep me motivated. I exercise in the living room where I can see a picture of my Dad and my god-father (who have both passed away) and during my workout I keep thinking of how proud they would be of me for making this change, and at the same time....how disappointed they would be to see how big I have gotten.

I also have a "goal item" (article of clothing) hanging on a nail on the wall in my bedroom. Currently it's a dress that I really love, but can't fit into. Seeing it every morning really pushes me to go workout right away so that I can get into that dress again soon. I can actually get it zipped all the way up no (and couldn't when I started) but it's still a bit too tight, so hopefully in the next week or two I can be wearing it and hanging up a new goal item.
