I'd love to hear some people's motivation for getting moving and eating healthy. ☺

    I don't want to be the fat mom. My son is 13 and I want to set a good example. Also, I have some really cute clothes waiting for a smaller me.

    I want to be healthy and feel good about me. The extra weight slows me down and keeps me from being my best.

    I have a ton of hereditary issues that started showing up in my blood work about four years ago...I'm addressing those issues so that I don't keel over like my dad at 62. I could give a *kitten* about the scale and how much I weigh...I just want to be healthy...for me, it's an uphill battle due to strong hereditary predispositions to numerous health conditions so deciding to eat well and exercise regularly is pretty much a no brainer.
  • I just want to be back in my smaller jeans. I also want to be where I was when I lost all my weight after having a baby 10 years ago. I lost so much weight after having her and it's sad that I have put all that back on and I'm not pregnant. I need to be more motivated.
