    There are a few things, but mainly I want to be great for my kids. Look good in my wedding dress, and not look like I'm pregnant on my wedding day HA!

    Started this journey in the spring after a heart wrenching break-up. At that point I tipped the scales at my highest weight.
    I decided enough was enough, time to bring sexy back... best revenge EVER!

    I was training for a half-marathon in 2008 and I dropped down to 136 and I looked more tone than ever! Since then, I have gotten lazy and had a hip injury... I'm back up to 160 and I DON'T LIKE IT!

    I have a pair of "those jeans" that I really want to wear again! I want to go on a shopping spree and buy loads of lovely new things, instead of wondering whether the cut is "flattering"... yawn.

    I've just been putting off for far too long. And I'm recently engaged so a wedding in the future is def. motivating.

    I have just gotten tired of being tired and sluggish. I don't like the way I look and I want to feel pretty and sexy again. I have four children, two that are still very small and I want to not only be around for them for a very long time but I want to be just as active and fun-loving for them as I was for my older two. I started Zumba a couple of months ago and I realized that my weight wasn't a hopeless issue. I can change even if it's just a pound at a time.

    Name: Jennifer
    Age: 34
    From: Georgia

    The reason I am wanting to lose weight is for several reasons. One I have a 3 year old son who is very energic and I want to be able to play with him without giving out of breath (which I do now) Second reason is for my own health. Every since I conceived my child I have had a big problem with blood pressure. It seems like it has been way easier to put the weight on and alot harder to take it off. I need alot of determination which I think I am finally there. Good luck to everyone!!!

    Every time I looked at pictures, I noticed I was the "fat girl" in them. I hated it and it made me cry almost every time I looked at them. I'm finally below my pre-pregnancy weight from all 3 kids and now I wanna get back to my "high school skinny" weight. Not really that skinny but you get the idea lol!
