    It started off because my grandfather decided to start calling me fat in front of other people. I no longer talk to him. Now, it's complete vanity and habit. I've been doing it for so long that I cannot see myself not trying to lose weight. I'm not overweight anymore, but I have a few more pounds I would like to lose.

    I have Degenerative Disc Disease in my lower back. The less weight I have to haul around the longer I can last before having to have a spinal fusion.
    Also I am now addicted to flexing my abs in every mirror I pass in the house, so I've got to keep the fat off so I can still see them.


    And, health happiness etc etc obviously.

    At first I started because I wanted to be sexier for my boyfriend. Now it's because I want to be healthier for myself.

    I had heart surgery to repair a faulty valve in July of 2011. The recovery was very hard and I piled on weight. When I went for my annual check up last year I asked my cardiologist how long the repair would last and she said that depended on me - needed to keep my weight down, exercise and eat right - that's all I needed to hear. The final motivator however was a photo taken at a co-workers Christmas party - I looked like a Cabbage Patch Kid - she posted it on Facebook and I was mortified. Turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. Since January 6, 2012 I have lost 78 lbs. - only 9.5 lbs more to reach goal and I feel great! Can't wait for my next check-up.

    #1 - Be healthy so I can be there for my kids and wife.
    #2 - Improve my agility, stamina, and strength for sports.
    #3 - Look good while feeling good. I can always use the confidence.

    Being fat was painfully uncomfortable- physically, mentally and emotionally.

    3) I want people to see my *kitten* and be like DAMMMMMMMMMIT guuuurrrrlllll.
    4) I want to be able to kick some butt running
    5) I want to be able to wear a bodycon dress and turn heads
    6) I want to show my ex husband and my ex fiancé and anyone who hasn't gotten with me when I was a little chunky what the F.U.C they missed out on.

    I sort of did! I didn't want a strike from the uptight douches on this site so I put my actual response in my status!

    I didn't start off trying to lose weight...I started off just making a lot of dietary changes to fix some bad blood work...basically losing weight ended up being a nice side effect of making better nutritional decisions. I lost my first 20 Lbs or so before MFP with just making dietary changes. I joined MFP because I really wanted to start honing in on optimal macro ratios and calories to fuel my fitness while still being able to lose a few Lbs...all in all, about 40 Lbs down.
