What keeps me motivated???
The fact that my face is seen daily on nationwide tv is a huge motivator lol. I was asked to do a television commercial to promote TF and share my weightloss success (23 kgs). I have not been on the TF programme since February and have found a few unwanted kilos. I remember how good I felt after the weight loss and do not want to go back to being a 'fat chick' ever again.
I get recognised as the TF lady ALL THE TIME. So I feel that I need to stay on track and celebrate my weight loss and continue to inspire others.
I must admit the 8 mini skirts I brought last year are also good motivation haha.

My motivation: After years of yo-yoing, I want to enter my ......... uh-hummm......... "late middle-age years"....... in a slim, fit, healthy and happy state, trying to hold onto that snippet of youth & energy left. I wanto to be a chic nana. I want to wear tailored clothes again. I don't want to continue taking medication of any sort. I want my husband of 32 years to look at me with a glint in his eye again! - and after a month on program I see TF as my pathway there.

Hi Folks
I joined the programme 5 weeks ago today
I don't know what my starting weight was exactly...estimating 220-225kgs
My reason for deciding to change my life is simple ....I HAD NO LIFE
Don't get me wrong i wasn't bed ridden at all
I could go out and shop
I could go fishing as long as I didn't have to walk more than 100 yards to the first seat LOL
I could no longer play golf ( a life long passion)
But I had no real freedom....I had created a prison of fat
I turn 49 this year & I decided that I had wasted enough of my life and I wanted to live again
My mum is dying of cancer and probably only has another 4-6 months to live
I have made her a promise that she will see MAJOR change in my body and life before that happens
That's inspiration #1
I am in the process of trying to move up to the Central Coast and will be able to be close to the beach
I love the water.. I used to swim like a fish......scuba dive and snorkel I want to do that again!!!
Inspiration #2
I have loved the game of golf since I was 8 years old and got down to being a scratch marker
I haven't hit a golf ball in 6 years........I will though by Feb-Mar of 2010
and be back to single figures by Feb 2011
Inspiration#4
I have passionately loved fishing for nearly 40 years...whether walking along and fishing a stream or river
or Rock fishing off the ocean rocks........my weight stopped me from really enjoying that passion.....I will again do those things
Inspiration #5
Finally I am sick and tired of being looked at by people with derision
When I was fit and not overweight I was looked at with admiration and respect
I look at pictures of me in my early to mid 20s and see a very fit man ....184cm tall and weighing 105Kg (when I played football)
My goal is a BMI of 28.....I won't need to be as muscular as was when I was playing but I am a BIG framed man to start with
I know that the respect that I will be shown then will mirror the respect that I will have for myself because of the journey I will have travelled
So that is inspiration #6
I have all of those inspirations in photo and written form and look at them EVERY DAY
So far after 5 weeks I have lost 25cm from around my waist and I am also more mobile and active
Chase your dreams!!

If I 'trip up' it is another week, or another two that I have to diet. But if I stick to it and change my habits for life then I won't have to go through this hard slog again.

My inspiration is all the people who have managed to achieve their weight loss goal. Its remarkable just how positive the human spirit can be. Its all in the mind (thats my opinion) and if you can convince yourself that you are capable of anything, you will achieve everything.
I hope to be at goal weight by August 2011 from 172.5kgs to 76.5kgs.
53 kgs down and look forward to the rest.
I also look forward to meeting a friend as I have been a recluse for years. No-one would accept me for the size I was. Thank goodness for work. It kept me sane.
To everyone who has lost a little or alot. Keep going. As the results are worth it in the end.
Karen.

Hi all,
I was motivated by my doctor - lose 10% body weight and get off insulin! Have done this, and now want to do so much better. Great not injecting myself twice a day, but even better if I could lose the jelly belly! Just have to keep on taking one day at a time and being positive that I can do it.

| Hi all. I am just starting on TF and my inspiration is that next year my husband and I are retiring. We plan on spending 12 months driving around America and Canada in a fifth wheel and I want to be able to climb the mountains. I don't want to have to wait at the bottom of the mountain because I am too fat and unfit. Roll on June, 2010!!!!

My first post. My inspiration is to lose the 25 kilos before June next year. I am on the waiting list for a double knee replacement. If I have lost the weight, I think I have a better chance of recovering well from the surgery. Also a lot easier to do the exercises and walk around. Have lost 9.7 kilos since July so going well. Only another 15 kilos to go !!!
My other inspiration is my 36 year old daughter. She was very ill with the flu a couple of years ago and developed full blown asthma. The steroid medication unfortunately blew her weight up. We are doing Tony Ferguson together - Lani has already lost 14.5 kilos since July. She is looking absolutely brilliant. Only 10 kilos to go for her. To see her self esteem so much better is wonderful. We have both found this diet very easy to follow.
