I am 24, single mother, and full time student. I have struggled with being overweight my entire life. BUT it wasn't anyone's fault but my own.. I was the one that stuffed my mouth full, and I was the one that chose to do nothing about it for years on end. But now I have grown up, and decided that I REFUSE to let my daughter live an unhealthy life. If I continued to be overweight as she gets older, there is more of a chance for her to be overweight as well. She is 4 years old and weighs 50lbs. She is already over weight for her age. And I am nipping it in the butt now before either of us get any worse.
I am working on her having a much more active lifestyle as well as myself. We go to the park every day. She does not drink sodas, and i am working on cutting out sweets with her when i can. I only let her watch tv after we go play and after we have some educational time. I refuse to let her sit in front of the tv all day.
I am doing this not for my family, or for my bf, but i am doing it for ME, and for my Daughter!

My main reason, of course, is ME! When I lost weight before, it was happiest and best I have ever felt! And now my additional, and most important, motivation is also my daughter! She is 2, and I want to change my ways before she's old enough to understand or see what I was doing to myself. I quit smoking before she was born, so that's one horrible habit she didn't have to witness. It was a LIFESTYLE change to quit smoking, and I did it. I can do this too! No matter how many times I have tried before, I WILL do it. For her.

Mine is quite simple, im FED UP of being overweight........ I am toooo self-conscious about what i wear and wondering how to hide my fat.... ENOUGH OF THAT CRAP!......Slim down is in FULL EFFECT! Not gonna stop till I am FIT and HEALTHY!0

my reason is because I've been overweight my whole life and I'm sick of not being able to shop at any store I want for clothes or keep figuring out ways to hide my fat. I'm just done.with it all. plus I have a back problem.that ill most likely need surgery for one day and I need to be a lot thinner.for that. so I have my health and self esteem to keep as motivation. I've suffered with poor self esteem since I was a kid and since I've been losing weight I've been feeling happier and I just want to keep moving forward. and lately I've been kinda slacky so I'm glad this challenge came up because I need something that will make me commit. I can do this!!0

My main reason is to feel confident and love my body! I have come to LOVE the way I feel while working out and even being sore (:
- I have been overweight my WHOLE life, I would love to see the way my body can look - I want to be fit and happy.
- I am getting married, and I would love to have children someday, but before I can have children, I need to get healthy so that I can teach my children how to be healthy. (:
- I am surrounded by both types of Diabetes, so weightloss is VERY important.
Just a few reasons to get healthy (:0 -
I have so many! Where do I begin? I have a 7 month old and that's where my weight came from. I'm the largest I have ever been (well since having my 1st son 9 yrs ago). None of my clothes fit and even the "fat" clothes I bought a few months ago started 'shrinking'. LOL I knew I needed to do something soon. We are going on a family vacation to Disney World next month and I decided that as of Jan. 2nd, I was buckling down and going to lose this weight once and for all. Now, I know realistically I can not lose 35 lbs in 30 days but I do think I can lose 20. I'm doing the Atkins diet and I've had great success with it in the past -- as well as the P90X exercise system. I dont just want to lose the weight...I want to get in great shape! Other than the reasons mentioned previously, I want to feel comfortable in my skin and not always so self conscious.0

Someone asked if I was pregnant in a picture I had on facebook - I nearly died because sure, I knew that I had a big tummy but not to the point where someone actually thought that I was preggers and ready to congratulate me!! That was day one for me. I'm going to get down my tummy!0

You know what changingforth? It just might be karma - I remember a few years ago asking the same question to someone else I haven't seen for a while and I felt so embarrassed when she said no..... Next time someone asks me that question it's going to be because I am!! 0
