    I want to get back into shape so I can be active again. I really love swimming, hiking and most outdoor activities but I stopped doing them a few years back when I got depressed. I have been going back to the gym to try to build up my endurance again, I'm also trying to lose the weight I gained during the years I was inactive.

    I'm not ashamed to say I want my @ss to look good, but I also don't want to be some old bent over lady with osteoporosis when I’m 80 years old and I know that getting (and staying) in great shape will go a long way to prevent that :bigsmile:

    I want to look good and be healthy, and a good example to my children. I'm married so not bothered about attracting anyone, although it is nice to get admiring glances! My husband thinks i'm gorgeous no matter what I weigh, bless him.

    Plus I enjoy exercise, it's become a habit and I get stressy if I don't exercise now!

    On top of all the health benefits, energy boosts and being able to eat because I know how to do it right....

    I want to be a MILF for when my kids are entering the teen zone - I figure that way their friends will all want to hang out at our place and I'll know that everyone is having a good time and safe.

    It's all about control.

    1. So I look good in a bikini.

    2. So I can keep up with my kids.

    3. Because I LOVE the running high I get once I step off the machine. I could be dying on the machine and once I step off its euphoria.

    - Feel better -- after 2 1/2 years of exercising daily, it's my routine
    - To not like like a "typical American" -- I'm old enough (48) to remember when overweight people weren't the norm, it's wasn't a cool thing to talk about where you got your free motorized chair from

    Ultimately it was for health...I have really bad knees that caused me a lot of problems and a genetic defect that can lead to all kinds of health risks. I want to do everything that I can to prevent those things from happening (cancer being the biggest one).

    I love the way I feel after a workout, being happy and confident. Becoming sexy is just an awesome bonus that has also become one of my reasons (truth be told, we all want to feel attractive).

    I don't want to shop in the plus-size section anymore. I don't want to be the girl who "well she has a cute face, but..." anymore, and because I want the outside to look how I feel it looks like on the inside.
