    Short term....A memorial day weekend backpacking trip
    Mid range...100 lbs lost by labor day (at 57 down)
    Long term....do the Appalachian Trail end to end in 2017

    Love your long term goal! I met someone here that has done it and with his daughter and they said it was the best time ever...she quit her job to be able to do it and then when she was done her boss called her begging to come back lol...he offered her a raise, a sign on bonus, and a ticket home

    My fear is I won't want to get off the trail! When I was active in my 20's this was on my bucket list...now at 40 it's back on! Not a day goes by with out some time spent day dreaming about my mecca.

    I live in the Appalachians (I go to school here) and it's beautiful year round. I'm just a few minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway here. Good luck!

    My motivation is the confidence I used to have.
    Also, my PCOS is VERY weight sensitive, so once I lose another 5 pounds or so, my menstruation should return :) (TMI. Sorry, boys...)

    My motivation: To have my husband stop wanting me to be another woman who is in shape and being told I could look like that.....==))
    so now, when I do look like that, I can leave him !! ahaha payback!

    My motivation is myself. I have pictures of me at a pretty high weight, especially for my height (5'1).. When I get discouraged, I think back to when I was that high weight, how I felt, what I looked like, etc., and I remember I do NOT want to be there ever again. Plus, exercising gives me mental clarity and helps with physical medical issues I have : )

    I want to be the sexy sister. My brother and sister are both very fit, active, attractive people. I always felt awkward and defensive around their friends because I felt they were all judging and dissecting me. It was me who had the problem. Now I just want my husband and I to be able to do all the fun, active things people our age are supposed to do. I just found out I'm under the maximum weight to go horseback riding. I'm going to do that very soon. :) Some day I will get my sister to teach me how to surf.
