My wife delivered our second baby eight months ago. She has lost 10 pounds in the last two months and she's looking great. I also gained a lot of weight, and I don't want to be left behind. She's looking great, and I want to support her by also getting healthy along with her.0

Hi Baybee! My motivation to lose weight is my diabetes. I'm really overweight and have 100 lbs to lose. It's an uphill battle. I'm looking forward to being healthy again and wear a dress. I haven't worn a dress since I gained weight! Pathetic, huh? I just feel I look like a tamale with a rope around the waist. Good luck to us all. We can do it! :happy:0

My boyfriend and I are going on our first cruise the end of next month. I want to look good in a bikini. I want him to be smug and happy that I'm all his. I want other girls to be jealous. I'm losing weight to have better self-esteem and to be happy when I see myself naked.
^^ This but change boyfriend to husband and also fitting into a box of skinny summer clothes taking up space in my closet.0 -

My boyfriend had heart surgery. We can help each other by eating healthier. I want to get fit so that we can be an awesome, active, sexy couple; when he's finally able to go out again, we'll pain the town red! We used to regularly go swing dancing before he got sick and I wouldn't have any other dance partner! Can't wait to try some new styles of social dancing as well! We have a looong to do list.0

To live a long time in retirement so I can collect for all the years I gave serving others.0

because I'm fat, that's enough for me. I want to be health again and be able to maintain it if I get hurt again instead of using it as an excuse to get overweight again0

To look good in smaller clothes and be healthier so Im around a long time for my kids.0

I've been a yo-yoer myself. I know how it feels to want to fit into those clothes and such. You know what, I can honestly tell you I've avoided mirrors for the longest time. Guess, what? I looked into a mirror and along with some little lines ( note I said LITTLE ) I realized I have some nice and beautiful things. Try it you will find you are beautiful. Losing the weight, that's just the topping on the lowfat cake! :flowerforyou:0

I have some of the same motivation! I really want to ..I need to ..get in shape before kids! I'm so tired of feeling miserable in my skin. I want to be able to look at myself with a smile : )0

I want to be fit and enjoy playing sports I used to play,.... it is also an exercise in boosting my self-esteem after a relationship break-up0

My motivation started because my boyfriend cheated on me with a super skinny chick, but at this point I just love seeing what I can do to better myself and I've learned to love eating healthy and trying new recipes and I love exercising and how it makes me feel.0

My primary motivation is to have the healthiest body I can so I can hope to have healthy pregnancies and raise a happy family, and ultimately, live longer.
A more time-specific motivation, however, is my desire to quit being compared to my teeny cousins who haven't even hit puberty yet :grumble:.0
