Before kids I was fit and firm. After 3 kids I'm ready to get back into shape. I want to be healthy in general, I even quit smoking after Thanksgiving.0

When I tried walking to the movie theater about a mile away and couldn't go halfway without dry heaving and not being able to talk. I finally realized I was killing myself.0

Reading obese in my file while at the doctors office.0

I finished a marathon...dead last. I wanted to do it right the next time! (and I did...shaved 1.5 hours off my second one!)0

I wanted to llok good for my sisters wedding since I looked fat and ugly at mine. Even my hubby didn't tell me I looked good at my wedding. 12 years after being grumpy and sad about it was enough! Slimmer me is here to stay!0

When my size 18 jeans were getting way too tight! I knew it was time to do something!0

My dad had a stroke at a young age. I realized I needed to make some serious changes in my life. I'm very happy that I did.0

Feeling unhealthy and seeing some rather scary pictures of myself.0

There are a blue million reasons, but what got my *kitten* in gear most recently? I decided I was never going to let myself be treated badly by a man ever again because I felt I couldn't do any better.0

I had lost a lot of weight once before and told myself I would never be X weight again. I was pretty much there and knew I needed to do something. Also my jeans were too snug and it was either lose weight or get new jeans. I'm so happy I chose option 1.0

Several car accidents destroyed my body. I was told my only option was surgery to fix my back, neck & knee & they couldn't guarantee that I would walk on my own again anyway.
15 years ago I was 5'8", well over 215lbs, in a lot of pain & almost to my wits end. Today I'm just under 5'6" and between 146-150lbs, 18.6% BF: my profile pic was taken 3 weeks ago. (yes, I lost inches due to the damage in my back, neck & hips, but that just makes me push harder to be healthier, stronger, more fit as each year passes).
When someone says "You can't", I smile and say "Watch me!"

my friend texted me one day asking if i wanted to go on a diet with her. I said sure. At first I wanted to be supportive and give her a diet buddy, and I knew I needed to lose weight, but this time I actually felt like I was going to succeed so...it went from there.0

A man--I'm trying to attract--pretty silly, huh? But there's lots of other benefits too, of course!0

I've had some serious health issues and being lean will help.
I have booked to do the trek to the base camp of Everest in October and need to be fit and healthy.
I don't want to be the straggler at the back.0 -
My children deserve a healthy mom to be able to run around and play with them. They are my first reason. My second reason is for myself. I want to be able to be comfortable in my own skin and not feel like everyone is staring at me because I'm fat.0

It was pretty spur of the moment. I guess I just wanted a change.0
