What encourages you to succeed?

Would like to know what your driving force is to lose weight. I'm in the earlier stages of my new weight loss journey, so I would love advice and support.

I'm 30, 275# at 5'9" and not interested in being overweight anymore. I want to respect my body more than i have in the past 5 years, when I gained over 100#, embarrassing as it is to say! I get encouraged from seeing my weight to down and I love how I feel after a good workout, even if I hate the gym!

Also I need new friends! Add me!

My children motivate me. I want to be able to run around with them and be a good example of a healthy adult instead of watching them play from a bench.
I want to be in photographs instead of feeling so ashamed I insist on holding the camera.
My other motivations are my wedding, to go back to dancing groups and to complete the tough mudder course!

I'm just tired of being the fattest person in the room. I don't want to feel tired anymore! Down 50 pounds and feel so much better! It's nice not to have that overfull feeling and guilt after a binge. Halfway to goal and chugging along.

Bottomline: my wife.

I just got married and I want us both to live a long and healthy life together. I can only control my part in that of course, but I want to have my body strong and not be like others in my family as they have aged.

I want to be able to go on hikes and not worry about going too far, because I'm confident in my body and know I can make it back just fine. I don't have grand aspirations of a bikini competition, just comfort and health.

My health first (high blood pressure has to go!). Then my husband and children!!!

Getting older (who wants to be old AND fat? lol); blood pressure; borderline cholesterol; - mostly health reasons but also some vanity. I want to look good!

Feel free to add me as friend for support. I have an open diary and log daily.
