Thread: What did it for you? What keeps you motivated?

Post your motivational stories about your weight loss experience here! This is not the place for advice, just tidbits, observations and honest stories about how you got motivated and/or stayed motivated to lose weight. Thanks.

after losing 20 pounds i fit back into my skinny jeans. now, these are the skinny jeans from my... ahem... "looser" days when i had lots of consectutive boyfriends ..g.: i was one hot tamale, the guys next door called me 'the devil'. then, i moved in with hubs, got a desk job, got married, ate too much etc. i think what did it for me was seeing photos of myself in bd costumes and thinking 'i used to look hotter than that!!!' my weight loss was really sloooooow, but i've kept most of it off and still fit into those jeans. i will never not fit into those jeans again.

did my skankiness kill this thread???..l;,

i love hearing other people's success stories! even one pound lost is a success!

the thought of upcoming shows, keeps me on the wagon.

Its not so much the thought of upcoming shows its the thought that people have cameras and videos!!!

When I cut sugar and carbs from my diet. For a soda and startch addict like myself, I am really proud of myself for letting go of my temptations and staying right on track!

My body was just not built to eat those kind of foods.
