    My health...diabetes and heart disease run in my family and I'm doing my best to help "curb" it. In addition, we would like to add a 4th child to our growing brood. My past 3 pregnancies have been complicated to say the least...2 have ended in preeclampsia and w/ my last one I had pregnancy induced hypertension from week 20 till I delivered. When I am not pregnant my bp is not an issue. I'm hoping w/ some weight loss, better eating, etc my next pregnancy will ROCK!

    Me, me, me...as the mom to 3 little guys it's nice being selfish and doing something (good) for myself. Plus I want to be around for those little guys for a long...long...long time:wink:

    Me ... I'm doing this all for me!

    But it doesn't hurt that my husband hugs me tight and tells me there is less of me to love

    Great thread!!! Tks for starting it!

    :heart: 1. Sports. I play a lot of sports. And I want to hit be faster, stronger, more powerful, more controlled, more flexible, and perform better.

    :heart: 2. MFP ticker !!! I love the tickers on here. And seeing my own, is so motivating. I updated it and instead of having a long term goal of 134. I now have a short term goal of 165. Once I reach the lower part of my ticker, will move it to 160, 155, 150......................134. One small goal at a time. Affected by book I'm reading called One Small Step Can Change Your Life.

    Good luck all. Stay motivated!! :happy: :happy:

    1. Looking hot for next christmas candlelight service at church. Yes, a man is involved here.

    2. My size 10 wardrobe packed away -- such nice clothes--including a black leather mini-skirt!


    I have other motivations, but those are the top 2.

    My niece, she's 3. I want to go to her high school graduation and sit in the front row. My mom came to my graduation but wasn't able to walk to the front to actually see me. I am going to be at my niece's probably standing on a chair.
    Being alive 100% not living life from the side lines because I am too fat or embarrassed to participate.
