    I workout because it's part of a healthy lifestyle.. and I enjoy seeing my muscles pop :)

    I'm dieting for superficial reasons.. so I can show off those muscles and hopefully get my body fat % to a lifetime low.

    I work out for selfish reasons - to have my "me" time, to feel better, to keep my blood pressure in check, to feel strong and powerful and good.

    I watch what I eat so I can lose weight.... that is the hard part for me. Since entering my late 30's (ahem) I have learned that working out does not mean I can eat whatever I want.

    Mostly because I want to be strong and be able to DO things. I miss being trim and fit and after my knee surgery I didn't have an excuse. I'm also single and there are other obvious reasons to being fit and healthy opposed to over weight and out of shape. Being healthy enhances pretty much every aspect of my life. I'm glad I got off my *kitten* and got back into it!

    I work out to feel good and to know that I will be able to keep up with my children throughout their lives. I want to look better in clothes (and out of them for that matter) I don't care what size I am or what my scale reads but more how I feel and look in my mirror.

    Because I want a sexy body I will be proud off, syttrong thin thighs and a six pack ... also because it makes me happy and gives me this feeling of power that if I can do this than I can suceed in other areas of my life too.

    Because I love to eat food and I don't love being fat.

    I feel better, I look better, I sleep better, I'm happier, it's my therapy. I'm stronger (physically and mentally), it presents me with a challenge almost every day, it helps me overcome obstacles (you know, the voice in your head that says to shut off the alarm and go back to sleep, or the voice that starts yelling when you start running...).

    As Jillian Michaels would say "I want to have sex with the lights on"

    Because losing weight makes you look good in clothes, but exercise makes you look good naked ;)

    I workout because it makes me feel great! I sleep better, I tend to eat better, (to not undo what the workout does), and when I am awake, I have better focus.

    I want to look the way I did when I was getting married, to feel sexy again. I am doing this for me, and thats the best thing, when you are doing it for you and noone else.
