One of the things that motivates me is to exercise at the same time every day. If I know I am being a slacker, I will sometimes put on my workout clothes earlier because it's a prompt. About 45 minutes before I work out I have 1/2 c of strawberries with 2 tbsp of heavy cream. If I don't work out, I don't have them. So in this WOE that's a big motivational tool.

But I think the thing that really motivates me is the thought that I don't want to lose weight and not be toned. As the weight comes off I want to see a body underneath that fat.
