    To not die far too young.

    Also to weigh less than my husband. :wink:

    What is your personal motivation?
    For me is reaching the weight I was about 9 years ago? I felt so good wearing my jeans low and comfy.

    For me it's feeling good. Feeling good when I run up a flight of stairs or can play with my nephew and match his energy. Realizing that my 30s can be and are the most fit I've ever been in my life (a far cry from my 20s). Not having to "suck in your gut" as default. Being far more in touch with what my body needs and feeling the differences in how food affects my energy and mood. Etc. etc. etc.

    Pre-baby I had a very unhealthy & reckless lifestyle but I was thin, probably too thin because in all honesty I just didn't eat. Then I fell pregnant which was ultimately a life saver. During pregnancy I used mfp to track nutrients & try to control any unnecessary weight gain. I did everything by the book & absolutely LOVED my body, i felt strong both physically & emotionally, i was so confident and knew I was making all of the right life choices without question and I was comfortable in my own skin. I was SO happy.

    I'd love to feel that way again & be proud to show off my figure, minus the bump! My daughter is my motivation, shes 3 in September and born at 11 wks prem she's a miracle. I want her to be proud of her mummy. Plus I'm 40 in 2yrs so I'd like to be in great shape by then!! Scares the crap out of me hitting that age & still not being happy with the way i look.

    I want to return to parkour training. I felt like I was flying when I could vault over obstacles. It felt awesome to be able to do a wall run and push myself ontop of an object. With my back injury I was bed ridden for a while and never want to return to that-ever. If I can heal and lose the access fat on my stomach, I know I will be able to fly faster and higher when I return to the gym. I want to be a total bad *kitten* like the heroes you see in anime and film. :)

    The older I get (I'm 49 now) the more issues seem to crop up, some are just small nagging things but over time I can easily see them compounding with not so small serious things that are currently under control. I don't want to be one of those immobile, home bound people who are a burden to their family. I want to work toward being as strong and structurally (physically) sound as possible.

    1. My kids both to be there as they grow up and as an example.

    2. My various short and long term athletic goals. I continually add more as I complete the current ones. Never complacent. Movement is life.

I want to wear something hot...I want to feel slinky! That was my initial motivation...now? Nearly 6 months in I have other fitness goals as well...pull ups, push ups, running...actually maintaining my weight at or around 130 pds...which I have never done before...I feel something I have never felt before...confidence that I can do it! My Trainer started that seed and has helped me grow it.. I can do this! I do not have to be the fat/chubby girl!!!

    I want to stop pretending I am happy and fulfilled. My choices have been lazy and consumptive and I will change that mindset because I want to do and be better.
