Instant Motivation
We all have those days when we just want to throw in the towel and say it's not worth it. It IS worth it, and we all know it, but we have those days anyway. That's what this thread is for; whenever you need a pick-me-up, drop in. Whenever you've got something that fires you up every time, come here and share it with us (PLEASE!!!).
You can list your reasons for losing weight/getting healthy, the rewards you'll get for reaching your goals, the horror stories that started you down this path, the pictures of what you do or do not want to look like, before and after pics, whatever motivates you. Let's keep each other motivated! |
