    My weight was making me feel disabled. I didn't want to be a shut in as I aged. I didn't want to fear falling or feel like I'd hurt myself getting on and off the bus or to and from my seat in the arena. I wanted to be able to stand and cheer when my team scores. I want to travel when I retire. It was past time. And it's been awesome so far. I feel so much better and am so much freer.

    I have already lost the weight that made me feel gross, the extra lb I gained when I was working at a stressful job. But now I'm back where I've been since my teens...my "usual" weight, and with a new hot boyfriend and becoming pescetarian, I feel like now is the time to step it up a notch and actually get slimmer, fitter than my lifelong "usual weight". To see what I can do to improve my fitness and looks.

    To not be afraid to look at photos of myself, and to actually feel as beautiful as my boyfriend already says I am.

    Because my jeans weren't fitting me anymore, and I caught myself eating a foot long chili cheese coney/tots/cherry limeade while watching the biggest loser.

    Be proud you are doing this for you and you're family. As women we put ourselves last. We have got to stop feeling guilty about doing things for us!

    To be healthier, fit and have a more active lifestyle instead of sitting at home the whole day and watching shows.
    And to fit into more styles in clothes.

    I don't want to die young and I want to attract a mate. I want whomever I'm with to not be embarrassed to be seen with me, and I want folks to give me the chance to prove my worth.

    Also to look like Dwayne Johnson.
