What's the best motivation to exercise regularly?

The best motivation is actually one's self. I know someone whose motivation to exercise was just by looking at herself on a full-length mirror every morning.

The first one that comes to mind is when you can't bend over to tie your shoes cause your belly is in the way.
As for motivation, if you are truly serious, take a walk through a hospital where people have to wear an oxygen mask 24/7 cause their lungs are too weak to work on their own.
Visit Children with MS, or Spina Bifida, where they literally live in that wheelchair, and then realize that you are able to take for granted what they can never hope to do.
I also agree with that other person, forgive me i missed your name that said take side photos of yourself every month. Get a friend to join with you , get a friendly Competition going between the two of you.
Set yourself a reward after you have met your goal weight, maybe a long weekend at a Spa that indulges your every whim, and that hot dress you saw in the shop that you so want to fit into. Buy shoes to match, that ought to give you that extra push to continue on.
Good luck, set the goal , you can do this and the rewards of looking great and being healthy will be worth the effort :)

in everything you do, the first 21 times is THEE! hardest... after that it becomes a habit or in your case a hobby...

sacrifice the first 21 times by dragging yourself to the gym :o) that's the only way...and pat yourself on the back everytime for a job well done as you go near your 21st day :D

When ever I see women younger than I am and being sooooo round everywhere is what gives me the best motivation.

i am tempted to answer : "a love interest"

but i know that it wouldnt be right to do it for someone.
Because things like this, has to be done for ourselves.
Because we deserve it.

you can work out practically anywhere, anytime (di lang sa gym). Incorporate your 'regular exercises' in your usual daily regimen.
Use the steps instead of the elevator, do special chores on weekends, walk or run your dog in the park, get into sports, etc

I think your problem, is that you easily get bored, so be creative, it would keep you interested. Plan activities, new and exciting ones

You deserve it :D

I can give you a dozen or so reasons why we all need to exercise. These are the same old reasons we already know. Yet because we're lazybones or weak in our resolve to stay fit, we opt for the easy way - the couch potato way!

But I would appeal to your vanity and say this: If you want to stay sexy, get your butt on that stationary bike. Work a sweat, girl!

And get a gym buddy to work out with. Motivate each other to your way to sexy health.

get a friend to join with you and go to the club with that person regularly. it is always easier to stay motivated with another person pushing you as well!

A photo diet. Take a side view picture of yourself in underwear before you start the gym, and take a new photo every month. You will really see the changes and it will give you an incentive to want to look good. Good luck (: xxx

the need to stay healthy and be light on your feet!

I am taking your money

look at pictures of the people who you aspire to be.

Do gyming with a dear or close family member or friend. See if someone else is trying to have a healthier physical life also. This may motivate you and the other person(s) to be committed all 2gether and not just on your own. Team work involvement may be the boost you'll need to continue.

Survival. You can look at the world as a jungle full of predators who prey on the weak and the defenseless. Only the strong, the healthy the wily and agile who can maneuver will survive and live for another day.

If You can get paid to do that.

Get an American to tell you how you are getting fat and he doesn't want a fat woman. He could find that at home.
Thankfully we don't have much trouble with that.
She likes to work out and stuff food down me to fatten me up.
