    Jasper Texas(East Texas)

    I started MFP on Aug. 4th 2012. My size 38 pants were getting tight. I started MFP and a week later started CF. I am down 19 lbs(as of last thursday) and put on my size 35 pants Sunday. What keeps me motivated?-I am not getting any younger. Since I've started CF it's kind of addicting. If I miss a workout on a workout day(I have 2 off days Wed.&Sun.), I get irritable.

    Wylie, Texas here. I learned a simple truth: the human body is designed for famine, not surplus. After I learned that, I was motivated to live like a human, not an American. I'm not perfect, but I think it's important to understand exactly how the human body is designed and how exercise/food affect it.

    Just wanted to say that is the coolest tattoo!

    Theresa from Taylor. My last physical, I had turned 40, wasn't the greatest so I knew I needed to do something now before I have even bigger problems.

    I was getting into it before. Then stopped, gained some of my weight back and haven't started up again yet. Hopefully one day I can call myself a runner!

    San Antonio here. What keeps me motivated is my health and my long term plan to eventually move to Italy one day. There's a lot of walking you have to do over there and I need to be able to do it whenever I get there!

    Nichole here in Cleveland, TX. I left the US Marine Corps a year ago in September, right around the time I had my fourth baby. Being a Marine and a mom of four helps keep me motivated, although I do need help because I'm still trying to lose the last 20 pounds of baby weight from my last one.

    Hi, I live outside of Austin. What keeps me motivated is my stepson is getting married in May 2013 and my husband's ex-wife will be there and I want to look smokin' hot next to her. LOL. Well, that and for health reasons of course.

    I reside in Spring Texas a suburb of Houston.

    I'm motivated to be healthy, strong, have energy, maintain a zest for life, and looking better just happens to be one of the side benefits, but not the driving force.

    El Paso, Texas here!

    I am motivated because I just started this process to lose weight and get in shape and I start on my MBA in January. By the time I get my MBA I plan on being in shape and ready to excel in the business world.

    Houston area here.

    I just hit my 30's and with wanting to go back to school and working shift work I was in need of more energy and stamina. In order to accomplish those things I knew I had to get my diet and body back on track.

    i had lost 40lbs in 2010-2011 winter (if Texas really has a "winter") but had gained half of it back. I was challenged in a recent Dr's visit to go at it again. im going to show the Doc (and myself) that i can do it again!! Feel free to add me as a friend. :)
