    My usual answer is to look good in a skating dress because skating is my passion and being a certain weight looks better and makes it easier

    I have messed up my shoulder though and I'm facing the prospect of surgery which means possibly 4 weeks in a sling so I won't be able to be as active. My new motivation is get in good shape to make recovery easier

    @AliNouveau That is inspiring. You can do it, no matter what life throws at you.

    My why is to feel better about myself, be stronger, and be the best wife, and mother, to my family. I am also deciding if I want to join the Air Force soon. So I need to get in shape. Add me if you want a friend to help motivate you. I could use some motivation as well.

    I've come precariously close to being the obese person who relies on others for basic existence needs. After losing 130 lbs, I still have about 110 to go to where I feel I can be healthy and self-sufficient (and yes, a sexy senior citizen). I don't want to spend the last decades of my life in a nursing home or on assistance.

    Not one member of my dad’s side of the family saw beyond the age of 55 - I have inherited the majority of my health traits from my dad’s side of the family. I’m 46 and I’m beginning to feel a little (okay, a LOT) of anxiety. That is one vicious cycle that I want to stop
