The 10 reasons I am doing this:
1) I am a quarter of the way through my life. How do I CHOOSE to live the rest?
2) To see the person in the mirror I KNOW is hiding behind all the fat.
3) So I can have photo's with friend's and family without instantly worrying about how fat I look.
4) Bikinis, skirts, shorts,dresses. Feeling sexy in anything and everything.
5) Being able to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath (helpful for stairs at water parks).
6) GOING TO GREECE!
7) Why work so hard on losing the weight to throw it all away? So don't give up.
8)A big F*** Y** to everyone that said I couldn't do this.
9) So I inspire people to lose weight, rather than being jealous of all the slim people.
10) So the reason I buy new jeans is because I look good in them, not because I've ripped a hole in the thighs of the old pairs.
What's your reasons for starting your journey and making sure you see it through?
It's always nice to share and have a little smile about things that inspire others.

    My reason is simply because I love to exercise and feel great in my skin.:D

    Because at my most recent doctors appointment, I had detailed blood work done and my small particle cholesterol and insulin were high. I'm not as healthy as I thought. I don't want to be diabetic and on a bunch of drugs by the time I'm 40.

    This LOL
    I don't know how many pairs of work pants I have gone through for that very reason.

    Because like my mom, I have arthritis and asthma, and I don't want to end up in my later years like she has, a prisoner in her own house because of the vicious cycle of sick and in pain/can't exercise/overeat/feel worse/overeat some more/get more sick and hurt more/lather, rinse, repeat.
