25 things about my weightloss journey
Five things that make me stay on plan
1. A closet full of clothes that don’t fit.
2. Writing down everything I eat.
3. The exhilaration from rejecting something in the name of the plan.
4. Exercise – I don’t want to undo what I have done in the gym.
5. The desire to be healthy and look better.

Five people who keep you motivated (and why)

Peace

This is a totally awesome list. I love it. Like many in your family, I have lost 130 lbs on WW and have kept it off for over a year now. i plan to keep it off for the rest of my life while I go to meetings and blog about the journey. Never give.
Again, great list

Your list is a great idea and it has inspired me to make one for myself as I begin my weightloss journey and look for inspiration and motivation. Thanks!

ugh, I need to relose the weight I lost a few years ago. it has slowly found me again, and I’m totally disgusted with myself. I need inspiration and motivation…unfortunately the too tight clothes just aren’t helping keep the munchies away.
