    Age: 30
    Where you live: Port Neches, Texas
    Relationship status: Married
    Kids: 2
    Occupation: Server for Applebee's
    Fave film: Dirty dancing (the original) Or Pretty woman
    Fave food now dieting: I do not diet, this is a life style change for me and all I do is count my calories, my favorite food will always be and always has been chocolate, that is considered a food group of it's own right? If not then Sushi :D
    How much have you lost/hope to lose: 120.5lbs lost and I have 9.5lb more to go.
    Motivation: At first my motivation was a friend of mine, he is still motivational to me and his wife as well. He said something and this saying is what changed my life forever "There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results."

    Now my motivation is my mom and friends who seem to depend on me to keep pushing. When I feel like giving up and yes after so much I sometimes still feel like giving up, I am reminded I have a lot of people who are rooting me on and a lot of people who are also waiting on me to give up and go back to fat so they can say "I knew it wouldn't last." I have actually been told I won't be able to keep it off by people who have never been for anything I've done. I just look at those people and use them to keep me motivated to prove them wrong.

    How much have you lost/hope to lose: I think I want to lose around 2 kg, I've lost 1 so far. Although my main goal is to reduce body fat and get more tone so, if I remain my current weight (which is alright for my height and even on the low end of the healthy scale) while reducing fat % and increasing muscle %, I'm fine with that.
    Motivation: I want to be in good shape and feel better physically. I want to have more energy and, above all, look smoking hot naked and for the first time ever love the way my thighs and butt look, as I've always had issues over that.

    People can be such jerks. They're probably just jealous you're actually acheiving something you always wanted too. KIP, you're doing amazing!
