My initial reasons for motivation were actually very shallow...
My brother-in-law's fiance had been on Jenny Craig, and had lost 20 lbs off her 5 foot frame, and she looked awesome. I remarked so one day to my hubby, and he agreed. That ugly green monster called jealous reared it's ugly head. But it was exactly the kick in the butt I needed to get myself serious about it.
As soon as I began loosing weight, my motivation was that I could do it. It was possible. I was proving myself wrong all those times I just gave up and said I couldn't do it.
I can remember being 150 lbs in grade 8, I didn't even know what 130ish looked like on the scale.
I got down to 133 lbs, then Christmas happened, but I know I can surpass that and reach my goal
