“Keeping Your Motivation” by Jessica Tyrrell, Gold’s Gym member and the 2010 Most Inspirational Challenge Winner

First off I want to say congrats to all who finished the challenge this year. I truly believe that the challenge is the jump start to a lifetime of fitness. The awards ceremony was amazing and there were definitely many jar dropping pictures!  I hope you all enjoyed my before pictures! I really do believe that no matter how much you hate them that you should always hold on to them and look at them. Someone asked me tonight what my biggest motivation was and I can to honestly tell you that it’s looking at those pictures. I never want to be that person again and I hope you all feel the same when you look at your very first before pictures and remember that those pictures were the start to your journey of a wonderful lifetime full of fitness!

The good news is that I’m done with the first week! The scale is moving in the right direction and I’m still alive! I’m already leaving that girl in the pictures behind. Here’s to 11 more weeks…
