    I want to be able to push my body to do just about anything I want it to do. I want to be able to run a full marathon, I want to be able to live a long healthy fit life

    I want energy so I can feel better, and not so sluggish and run down all the time.
    I can't move, so I'm limited as to what I can do.
    I want to be healthy.

    And of course...I want to be SEXAY!

    hehe

    MOSTLY...just want to FEEL better, be able to DO more and LOOK SEXY!

    For my health. I'm 34 and have had high bp since I was in my early 20s. My mom died of a heart attack at 46. She never got to meet any of her grandchildren. I don't want that to be me.

    Health, primarily. Looking good as a secondary. I might have eventually done it just for looks, but now that I'm in my 50's staying healthy is more important.

    I want to be hot and sexy for me, I want to love myself inside and out, i want to be fit, stop being lazy and not be in any pain and i want to live a long time. I also want to have more children so i dont want to be unhealthy while pregnant. And after i have the baby i want strong and fit to be able to take care of it.

    In addition to looking good, I want a resting heart rate of 35 bpm, like Lance Armstrong...and I'm getting there (43 bpm as of this morning!)

    -I want the tiniest, slinkiest black dress i can find!! (well borderline slutty not mayor of slut town, USA!)
    -I want to be strong
    -I want to start doing mixed martial arts somewhere down the line
    -Most of my confidence issues come from my body issues, so fix one, then the other can begin to heal =3

    1 Because I'm old and fat.
    I can fix the fat part!

    2 I HATE every piece of clothing that I own.
    My reward for losing weight will fix that.

    2. Newly single and need to hit the dating scene again, first time in a loooong time.
    3. Want the ex's jaw to hit the floor (horrible i know)
    4. I want to live a more adventurous life filled with back-packing, hiking, running, etc.

    Because I'm tired of not liking the way I look, and I've learned sitting around and whining about how fat I am, will not change how fat I am. So I'm finally doing something about it :)
