    Health #1. Working a desk job and being overweight/out of shape would take years off my life and the older I get the more I feel it creeping up.

    I've had too many family, friends, and colleagues have heart attacks, be immobile, be sickly, or up and die becuase of their lack of health, stress from life, and such. Obivously, death is inevitble and certain aligments will come no matter what, but I am all about the quality of life I have until that time. It is important to me to be here for my wife and kids just as long as God see's fit to keep me on this earth.

    I was getting Electric Shock Like Migraines where it would shock my temple and it was mostly like when you went to try to go to sleep and it felt like you were falling when you were stationary when this would happen and then it would feel numb to touch and all around the bk of my head and one Dr thought it was Neuritis and I had nerve problems in my neck and another Dr thought it was a wierd kinda migraine. I had to take a big survey thing and see a Neurologist and they were pretty certain I was having a wierd kinda migraine so I was put on Gabapentin and Sumatriptan as needed which pretty much stopped the headaches but then I felt lack of energy super tired, hungry all the time and I gained like 45lbs in 3 months which is really common. My clothes were getting tight on me and it bothered me I wasn't about to go out and buy all new clothes so I talked to my Dr she tried switching it to Topomax cuz you can lose weight on that one but that one I had a really bad reaction to and I got a rash,throwing up,pretty much all that could go wrong with it...so then she switched it to Verapamil which I am on now and thats a wonder drug for me. I feel great,more energy, its actually a heart drug-blood pressure drug but it doesn't cause weight gain or loss and so now am just trying really hard to get bk down to the weight I was before I was on that other med and I would like to lose even a bit more than that. And also would like to just build more muscle and tone up more cuz my prior job I had done quite a bit of lifting at and I haven't been doing that kinda lifting for about a yr now and I feel alot more out of shape and so just wanna get more toned up and also lose the weight that one med had caused me to gain.

    - My Health
    - My Family - i do not want my kids to be ashamed of me and I want my husband to be proud of me (not that they have ever said they are not but I am ashamed of myself!)
    - Vanity - I WANT to look good, I want to look in the mirror and say "yeah your not bad you know" LOL

    The little bones in my feet and ankles hate carrying this much weight around. And I'm sick of the clothes available in my size - mostly shapeless and often with big splashy prints. Yuck!

    I want to look at myself everyday and say..."WOW I look GREAT". lol...not only that, but I feel that a healthy lifestyle and a healthy life is a direct reflection of your own health.

    I got hit with an array of health issues back in Sept/Oct of 2012...I was basically heading towards being very sick in my 50s and 60s or worst case, just being dead. I've lost about 32 Lbs and I'm down to a healthy (but still on the high end of healthy) BF%. I've completely reversed my bad blood and I look and feel about 20 years younger than I did 6 months ago.

    My first goal was just to get and be healthy...now that I've shed some fat my goals are centered more on my fitness goals and regaining at least some of what I used to have as a once upon a time athlete. Plus, now that I'm looking better, I want to look even better...and better...and better.

    Amen.

    I want to be hot. I want to wear cute clothes. I want to make other gals jealous and make my husband even prouder to have me with him.

    I want to maintain good health. I want to set a good example for my kids. I want to be around to see my children mature and
    become adults, I want to see what path's they choose to follow in life. I want my husband to be proud of me. I want to be
    proud of me.

    I'm tired of my ugly stomach...I would love to fit into jeans and not be uncomfortable.
    and the main reason, is health, my dad died when he was 46 and brother died at 41.(heart-attack and they weren't overweight either)..so I need to give my heart a fighting chance to be strong...
