    One of my many reasons is the only woman fatter than me dropped out of my program and I didn't want to be the fattest one...

    Well at first it was because of my first real fat photo I seen of myself. Made me sick. But then the day I really decided to step up my game was the day I looked in the mirror and screamed at myself "I HATE YOU" and sat on my bed and cried because I hated myself and was feeling sorry for myself. I had to ask myself what crying about it was doing, what feeling sorry for myself was doing to fix it. So I cleaned myself up, took this photo and decided on September 22, 2011 that I was going to fix this. I lost 70lbs when I was pregnant because of Gestational Diabetes and had to for my baby. But when it came time for me to do it for me, I had gained 25.5 of that back so I took this photo of myself and haven't stopped yet. I am 15lbs from my ultimate weight loss goal.

    This photo was my "My life is going to change today" photo. And this is where I am now.

    It started out being to change myself, so I could love myself, working hard on me has made me love myself. It's made me appreciate me. However it's also turned into doing it for my kids, setting an example. Just yesterday my 20 month old daughter got on the ground trying to do her pushup's lol. That just shows me that she sees me and she'll follow my example.

    a small part of it is unhappiness because i know i can't run a mile anymore. most of it is shame and vanity. i looked in a full length mirror naked and cried. that's when i was like, this has got to change.

    I want to become a Mom. I'm already 30 years old, the clock is ticking. Not only do I want to become pregnant; I want to have the healthiest pregnancy, baby and body I can. I want to be a Mom that has the strength and energy to keep my child active and happy. I truly want a happy, healthy family.

    I've always wanted to lose weight but I never stuck to my diet/exercise regime. What finally did it for me was my boyfriend of 5 years said lose weight or we break up (please note that I was the same weight when we first got together, so it's not that I gained massive amount of weight or anything). We ended up breaking up over something else but right now that is what is lightening my fire. I want to look good and throw it back in his face... probably petty but well it hurt what he said.

    After a few months of seeing results though I'm loving this new life style. I still want to shove it in his face but it's definitely not the only thing that is keeping me motivated.

    Future pregnancies and vanity :). The weight is just not worth putting me back in the high risk category again.

    I just think I look better this way. I didn't do it for health reasons... I was already at a healthy weight.

    A few reasons.

    -To know that I can actually finish something that I start and to not feel like the failure that I seem to be most of the time; to feel proud of something that I accomplished.
    -To feel confident enough to wear a bikini (I never have)
    -To look hot and have guys notice me.

    This is not to say that health isn't important to me, because it definitely is and I already feel so much better and I am loving it. But honestly, that's not the only reason.

    My little sister was always slightly bigger than me (not fat, just like a size 14 while I was a 10) Now she's in the Air Force and I got pregnant. She's lost a lot and I've gained. She offered to give me her old jeans (size 12) for post-preg wear. Well I'm a year after labor and I can't fit into them and now my sister is wearing 8's. Sooooo I'd like to get back down at least to a 10. I love my sister to death, and I'm gad she's fit and healthy, but part of me is definitely jealous of our reversed bodies :P I'd like us to be closer to the same so I don't feel like the fat one haha
