    My biggest motivation is to not be called: The Big Guy, you remember that guy he was the really fat guy, Hoss, The overweight one. Those kind of people are my biggest motivation.

    I remember last year my wife and I went to Kentucky Kingdom or Kings Island (I do not remember), anyways there was a ride there that her and I wanted to ride and when we got to the ride I could not get buckled in. I was to big for the ride and that was so F'n embarrassing that the ride was full of people and I had to walk away with hundreds of people looking at me and a few of them kinda laughing and pointing. That was the changing point in my life...That is what started me to want to do this.

    Just realized I never actually answered your question...LOL!

    - it's not just about losing weight, it's about getting healthy and fit
    - the support of my hubby, friends (here and in real life) and family
    - my gym buddy and fitness guru fruend who push me to challenge myself and cheer me on my accomplishments
    - straight up determination to do it for real this time around and make it stick!

    My motivation is different - I lost my job recently, and I have to lose weight or no one will hire me. If I don't get another job soon, I lose my house... and I have a kid to support.
