What’s YOUR motivation to diet/exercise?
- My weight
- What I see when I look in the mirror
- The way my clothes fit (or don't)
- How I feel physically
- My family or friends (or doctor)
- My self-image
- An upcoming event (ex. wedding, vacation etc)
- All of the above
- None of the above - I am NOT motivated!
- Other .. please share

Went with all the above...
My weight was the same as when I was 9 months pregnant - 79kg
I didn't like what I saw in the mirror
My clothes were fast not fitting i.e. running out of wearable wardrobe
I didn't feel good physically & wasn't comfortable
Not really my friends, family or doctor, but the 3 missing discs in my lower back - L4, L5, S1
I feel fat & frumpy
My parents are coming to visit in Sept & my mother is always disgustingly skinny (makes me feel like a tub of lard)
I voted for "my weight" which effects everything else if it's achieved appropriately. When I weigh less: I like what I see in the mirror, my cloths fit better, I feel better physically and mentally. No up coming events but that would be a motivator as well.

Do the compliments from others keep you going the most though ?
Feeling better .. says a lot right there ;)
Yes I know easier said than done
I've seen you on & off track now for a bit.
It's ok as we all get like that.
Joining your gym will really help & make a difference.
Watch & see :)
Kind of funny how the weight has that domino effect
Not really funny but can lead us into the right direction ...
Does make it appear to see ourselves in many ways I believe
I voted How My Clothes Fit, but in retrospect that's more for diet than exercise.
I exercise because it keeps me sane.
Although now because you know you feel & look better is just the bestest
Good for you on staying on track so you can be your best always now :)

That's a good thing then for sure
How our clothes fit yes that tells a whole nother story
