Question What Keeps You Motivated?

I know my motivation tends to come in spurts, but I'm trying to make sure I stay motivated all the time! What do you guys do to stay motivated? What do you do if you start to get down? What kicks you back into gear? Thanks for the input!!

Take care,
Jina

Funny enough, I think what is keeping me motivated this time is (1) my husband, (2) 3FC and (3) how good I'm feeling right now. All of the positive reinforcement from my husband has been wonderful!!! Also, all of the encouragement I get from reading and participating in these posts has been great!

I get motivated by the compliments I've been hearing lately, especially from my husband of course. But even people I don't know well have been saying the kindest things lately!
One thing I do when I'm lacking motivation is go back and re-read the weight-loss journal I keep. Mine's a paper journal, but re-reading any kind of log you've kept is helpful. I get reminded of how far I've come, and the fact that I NEVER want to go back there again!

For me it's looking at recent photos... and seeing my fat stomach stick out
Also i have my size eight clothes that are way too tight now just waiting for me to fit in them again.

I put on my favorite pants this morning and they keep falling down. I love that. THAT keeps me motivated!

Yall keep me motivated along with my husband, mother and the mirror. I love looking at how thin my face is getting or how much smaller my breasts are.

Definitely 3FC. I notice that when I don't come on here I just start eating all the wrong things. Everyone on here is so great and supportive that when I don't have that support it seems as if I'm lost. You guys are all wonderful!!!
