One goal, one reason, whats yours?

HI everyone, Zuri here!
I am not new when it comes to MFP and I am certainly not new to making goals and trying to find motivation to keep on keeping on.
I was first interested in weight loss in high school and achieved my goal with ease, but that was when my mom was a Zumba instructor and fed me!
Now that I am done with college and starting my own life, I finally have time to get back on track and live how my mom raised me.

What I want from you is to just give me one goal (i.e. Feel better, be X weight, etc.) and give me the reason why you've begun your unique journey. And maybe we can motivate each other in the process of sharing!

I have always had a vision of what I feel I look like, but I don't reflect that in the mirror. I want to be the girl who I see myself being in my head. I'm finally in a place in life where I can put more energy towards meeting some different goals in my life, and I'm fed up with making excuses.

Thats my answer! I can't wait to see yours!!

I would be lying if I didn't say I want to look better in clothing and the mirror but I also desperately want to feel better. I'm 4'11, 48 years old and range between 148-150 most weeks. I can't seem to get the scales to move. I keep yo-yo'ing and going back off the wagon when I know what I need to do. I lost 25 lbs last year and felt great and want to get back to that again.

Goal: Attain and maintain a healthy weight; Reason: Most of my family hasn't and their health has limited (and in some cases wrecked) their lives. I started around 200 lb and can't believe how awful I felt then...

210 pounds, As of today I'm 250 pounds.

Wife and I are trying to conceive. I can't make the case for children to be healthy and active if I'm not healthy and active; I'd feel like a hypocrite and my children wouldn't take me seriously.

For years I've avoided being in pictures because I don't like what I see when I look at myself in them. I want my kids to have pictures of me in years to come looking happy and involved not hiding in the background and corners looking for an escape route.

I'm 49. I'm a red belt in TKD and have not participated for 12 months since I put all my weight on. I got depressed and was comfort eating a lot. Anyway, now I want to lose my weight and would love to go back to attaining my black belt.

My dad is really sick, so much of it was diet, diabetes, and a refusal to be active, then my mom with her health issues, and older sister with her own struggles. I am tired of it. I am tired of them being sick and not trying anymore, I can't try for everyone but I can make a difference for myself and at least put myself first.

Heart disease, diabetes,and cancer has killed or is killing someone in family. After losing my mom last year, my grandmother and uncle before that. I knew I needed to make some changes. I see my younger siblings struggling with medical issues related to diet and lack of exercise. I want to inspire them and save myself.
