    When I saw how fat my face had become in a picture I had to do something.

    I chose MFP from a google search of "Meal planners". I had tried WW before and this is MUCH better.

    My motivation is those pants in the back of my closet as well as wanting to live a healthier lifestyle.

    I am losing weight for me.. my fiance loves me at any size. :)

    What kick started your journey to weightloss?

    Ive always had problems with being over weight. being able to lose it then gain it back has been really tough on my body and Im tired of slowly killing myself. Im tired of being fat and being afraid to go clothes shopping with friends and going out in public and feeling judged for how i look.

    Why did you choose myfitnesspal?
    It was the best iPhone app that i could find!! Then i realized that they have forums and you can add friends and set yourself up for success!

    Whats your motivation to keep going?
    I work with children and I HAVE to be able to keep up with them! I have a little black dress that I wore when my fiance and I first went out that doesnt fit so well and for our anniversary (October 2nd) I would like to wear it =)


    Who are you losing weight for? Why?
    Myself! I want to live a long happy healthy life! I want to be a great role model to my kids as well =)

    I've always had an active lifestyle and been thought of by others as thin or slim, but the pounds have crept up over the years and I don't feel like I LOOK like the healthy person I am and want to be. It's not a case of fitting into clothes or being skinny..... about being healthy.

    What kickstarted my journey?
    I actually don´t remember exactly. I guess I just got tired of feeling fat and unhealthy. I have always been skinny until I started on my medication. Then I started to gain rappidly and I just didn´t recognize myself any more.

    Why did you choose MFP?
    I stumbled into it by accident. I could maybe say that THAT was what kickstarted my journey.

    What´s your motivation to keep going?
    I want to be healthy. That´s a lifelong journey, not just a diet. I want a good life, want to feel good about myself and how I look. Vanity, you could call it... If I don´t do something, I´ll just keep getting bigger and bigger, Maybe I won´t be able to lose weight, but at least I wouldn´t become bigger than I already are.

    Who are you losing weight for?
    For myself. Vanity and health reason.

    Why?
    I want to look my best, feel my best.
