@laceygaywilson that’s sweet2

When I was much bigger I was invisible. 154lbs lighter, people call me the “mayor” of my chain gym because I know everyone. I keep a smile and determination on my face and prove I can accomplish my goals to myself. It benefits everyone around you. That feels sooo good. Being able to lift people by just being who you are.9

Frankly, at this point, I don’t really push all that hard. I run mostly on habits.
But I stick around on these message boards as a reminder to not take my eye off of the ball. Fact is, even as a long time maintainer, I could easily start eating or drinking a few extra calories per day. And pretty soon those little extras would start showing up on the scale. Do that long enough and it’s a problem.
It’s not so much pushing but nudging myself along.7 -
I am so tired of hating myself.
But also, I'm tired of being sick. I've only lost a tiny bit of what I need to lose and I cough 90% less often.9 -

Honestly, absolute terror of gaining it back, lol. I never want to be that person again. That keeps me honest and logging even in maintenance.5

I want to be able to be able to live unassisted until the day I die.10

Habit and a dose of OCD... I have long stretches where I really don't want to get to the gym and the last thing I want to do is move heavy assed weights around. However, I'm always happy/satisfied when I'm done. I also have my wife to consider. She basically goes when I go and when there are days where other obligations or illness prevent me from working out - she won't either. I motivate her and she motivates me. Having a workout partner really does help.3

This is one big one for me, too. I know health and mobility can be a complex issue, but seeing my dad have so many medical issues- especially those exacerbated by lack of exercise and poor diet- is a big motivator. Do not want to go down the same path.1 -
I'm working on a better me for myself first, but also I want to be sexy for my husband.....I know he loves me but I want to also know that he finds me attractive.5

I’m getting older and I can’t afford expensive healthcare for avoidable health issues, a lot of which come with age. Plus I love being strong and looking good.6

I want to be the best version of myself that I possibly can be.1

Fitting into my clothes again, feeling and looking stronger, wanting to be more active and stay active as I age. Like sunsweet77 I was invisible when I was larger. It's amazing and a little sad to see how much better I'm treated when I'm not a short, overweight, middle-aged woman. (Still short and and middle-aged, just no longer invisible!)2

I am on a mission to reverse this type II diabetes that I was recently diagnosed with and to lose weight so I can be a healthy version of myself and be around to see my beautiful daughter(she is 13 right now) grow up to be an amazing adult5
-
To stick it to certain people in my life who told me I can't do it!
I hate being told what I can and can't do.
Plus I want to be healthy for many years to come. My mum has recently developed a few conditions that are associated with being overweight. I am so scarily like her in many ways, and I want to do my best to avoid a few of these similarities.3
