Reason for me to get motivated

waytoofat said: "I recently convienced my husband to take me to Mexico (We've been together 10 years and never took a real vacation). Mexico (hopefully) will be all the motivation I need to lose weight!! My husband said that he refuses to go if I do not get into a bathing suit and go to the beach with him! :) I need all the help and motivation that I can get! Accountability it my big thing."

waytoofat said: "We are going at the end of July to Cancun. I'm pretty exicited and my husband said that we are going to get into shape together. Much easier to lose weight and eat right when the person you live with is doing the same! So I have roughly 5 months to lose around 40 pounds....."

You can lose the 40 lbs in 5 months with a lot of high intensity cardio and a great diet. I don't know what I would do without my husband. He works out with me and helps me with my diet. He is even getting in better shape. Good luck and have fun!"

pixiechic said: "good reason to get a new bathing suit and some cute summer clothes. you'll want to look good for all of those pictures you'll be taking!"

featherish said: "That sounds like a wonderful reason to get into shape! When are you planning your trip?"

featherish said: "That is a really good reason to get motivated. I'm sure that Cancun will be stunning! If your husband is going to work with you to help lose weight, that is even better. Have you started an exercise or dieting program of any sort?"

Heather said: "Cancun sounds wonderful! Are you doing an all-inclusive?"

Darren said: "Go to the beach whether you're fat or not. No one will notice. There are "big folks" at every all-inclusive I've been to. But the beach is a great motivation to lose weight. Once you go a few times, you'll have a ton of motivation to drop weight."

Darren said: "Definitely. You guys are gonna have a blast. There's nothing like a really nice vacation to just unhinge you from daily life and get you feeling really good about yourself."
