    I want to feel good with how I look and be confident in myself! Honestly that's my main reason! Doesn't hurt I have a wedding in less than a year, and I'd rather not regret those pictures. But it's mainly so I feel better about myself. Also, the exercise has worked wonders on my thyroid induced anxiety

    I want to have the self confidence I had in my early 20s. I hate looking in the mirror and hating that I've gotten "soft". I want to be able to keep up with my son as he gets older and more active. I also want to motivate my husband to get in shape. He has a history of heart disease in his family and he already has hypertension. I want to prove to myself that I do have the willpower to eat healthy and workout on a regular basis. Oh, and this might sound shallow, but I want hubby to be able to show off his wife at his work's "Christmas Hot Tub Party". I don't want to sit inside with the wives who won't put on a swim suit and get in the hot tub.

    I'm not overweight and I'm not THAT bothered about the way I look at the moment but I know gaining 10kg over a few years is not good for my health. Also, If I did gain anymore weight I would start to hate my body.

    I am doing this because I finly got feed up saying I am going to try to get to my freshmen weight and not doing a thing. So I thought this would be a good time to start. Mostly to get legs in shape but this is all harder than I thought. I wish everyone luck in there journey.

    Because of Dana Linn Bailey. :P

    Plus I was tired of either being overweight and comparing myself to other people....

    or

    When I was anorexic/bulemic.....and I gained weight again...bc i decided to eat normal....my goal of being a limp thin noodle wasn't sexy to me anymore....

    I wanna be strong....mentally AND physically.

    I never want to experience the pain and yucky feelings I had when I was 43 pounds heavier. I have not ever had to be on meds for any weight related medical symptons, and I don't want to be on any medications.

    I feel too good now to go back to feeling that way. I am enjoying exploring how to maintain and up my fitness level and every day I stick to it I feel stronger.

    To prove to myself that you can get your body back after 2 pregnancies and 3 kids (twins) plus 2 c-sections. I just have 30lbs left.

    I was told that at 49 I am too old to donate a kidney to my son. Later, I found out it was really because of my weight. If that wasn't a wake up call! I have been tested and am a great match. Im grateful that I still have time to get my act together for when the time comes.

    To get back in shape. So I can feel healthy and look good.


    To get to a point where I can have a few drinks and a plate of pork chops and not feel bad about it because, 'hey look at me' ;)

    Wow...

    If i don't do anything now - i will only get bigger and bigger.
    Ill end up with diabetes.
    I want to be confident in bed
    I want to be comfortable going on in public and dress up without worrying about my tummy
    I want to want to be in pictures instead of trying to avoid them and hide
    I deserve it
    I want to have a strong body to help me for the zombie apocalypse...increase survival.
    I want to prove soooo many people wrong.
    When my bullies are all saggy and over-weight, i want to be hot! :D

    Lmso! This made me smile :] I want to feel healthy and have energy like I did the last time I pushed myself to lose weight and get into shape. I want to feel sexy like I did for only a short period of my life when I got into shape by accident, twice. lol. Depression seems to put me into shape because I walk off my irritation. I also want to motivate my husband because he wants to lose weight, but he seems to depressed. I want to feel like I deserve everything I have because I love myself the way I expect others to love me too.

    I do it because I want to be strong and feel healthy. I want to run 10k (I did it on pure stubornness, now i want to RUN it). I want to set good habits for myself. I want to realise what a normal portion is. I want to be hot for my Boyfriend. I want to motivate him to eat healthy and exercise. I want to be "my best me". I want to be proud of myself. I want to increase my ability to think (exercise is nice for this).

    There are a million small reasons. I had to love myself the way I was, that way I realised I deserve the best. I deserve my wonderful BF. I deserve to be healthy. I deserve to be loved for me, not anything else!

    To not always be the token "fat funny girl". Obviously health issues come into it too, but when I'm really honest it's so I don't get to my next (23rd) Birthday still never been kissed. Sad but true!
