What motivates you to get in shape?
 

What motivates you to get in shape or to want to get in shape?

Well for me. It's watching movies such as Charlie's Angel 1 & 2 and the Matrix series. Also, TV shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I absolutely love the Shape and Fitness magazine they have the best health and fitness tips.

I don't need to lose any weight. I just like how working out makes you feel happy.

The pimp juice.


Always the pimp juice.

Absolutely NOTHING.

When my "fat" jeans are no longer fat jeans but my normal jeans.

The Chi Omegas

Jim Jackson, #21 Houston Rockets, and the hope that I will be his Missus one day! :p J/K

To be able to wear and do anything I want without my size/shape being a factor.

a plane trip to hawaii on June 22nd...

Smaller jeans and cute underwear. It was all the motivation I needed. ;)

Seeing myself after a couple months of dedicated working out. I see definition where I had none. The first time I saw the "cut" in my abs I knew I would never stop working out again. It's a good feeling.

I like to look good. It helps me stay healthy and less sick days, helps to keep my insulin levels in check for my diabetes, my moods are better, I sleep better...........I'm stronger thus my sister no longer tries to hit me in a fight(cuz now i can whoop her ass eventhough she's a foot taller than me), it also allows me to eat more and by helping me look good i have less anorexic episodes/tendencies......plus i just like being full of energy.

You're a diabetic too? Type 1 or 2?

I have to add that to my list too. Exercising definitely helps.

Bathing suit season being right around the corner is a major push! Also, seeing my boyfriend work out a lot and achieve amazing results (even though he looked awesome before) kicks me into shape.

Like ISU Kappa, I get motivated when the clothes that were big on me are tight. I'm freaked out right now because if I gain any more weight I'll have to go buy new clothes, and while I like buying new clothes it sucks to do it because you are bigger!

Pussy.

I'm motivated to be in shape because I like the way it feels -- I like to feel strong and healthy and like my body can do anything. I'd rather be a little muscular and strong than skinny any day.
