Default AWESOME post about motivation/determination
I love this blogger (she lost 130+ pounds from diet and exercise, you know the "old-fashioned way")

She wrote today about determination vs. motivation. GREAT post and useful information to use when explaining to people why or how you are losing. Especially when they say "I have no motivation"

Thanks for the post! It's very true, right now it is so hard for me to get back on my horse. I work in a bakery so I have to be very very determined and prepared.

Oh wow.
Thanks for that post, her photos are hella motivating.

And yeah... I think I need to find that determination to know I can get down to and stay down to where I should be. I'm sporadically motivated, but that's soooo different from pure determination, and results in you ending up right back where I am.

Down 30 lbs, and back up 27. *sigh*

Coincidentally, that blog post is very motivating

Great read though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
