    I'm going to be 50 years old next month and I want to look my very best for my half-of-a-century big day! I lost 25 lbs on the OMNI program and wanted to lose 10 more the good ol' fashioned way-through healthy diet and lots of exercise. I love to exercise because I know that it makes me look and feel better every day. It also keeps my bipolar symptoms at bay and keeps me from having to take medications. My diet also helps with this. Also, my boyfriend is taking me on a Caribbean cruise for my 50th birthday and I have 3 bikinis that I want to look good in. I love this website and the way it manages every aspect of my fitness goals. I wish you all the best and the same for me!

    Both of my parents have/had high blood pressure, diabeties and high cholesterol. I don't want to end up like them. My mom had a stroke and died of cancer. TOTAL EYE OPENER FOR ME!

    I've struggled with my weight my entire life, and just found out why last summer: diagnosed with PCOS. So I'm working to make myself healthy, and learn to love myself again. :)

    My father recently died at a relatively young age. I want to be around for as long as possible for my family. If I do go early I want it to be from some sort of crazy action sports accident while out living, not heart disease. ;-)

    My employer offered free blood work and when I got the results I realized how unhealthy I really was. My lifestyle had to change before I ended up having a heart attack at a young age. I turned 30 shortly after that and decided it was time to change my life.

    My employer offered the free blood work again this year, it was almost a year later and I had lost 70 pounds, my results were MUCH better! I feel so much healthier, have a lot more energy, and I'm enjoying my new lifestyle.

    I did this for me! :)

    Total vanity - want to do more modeling jobs in the summer just for the fun of it bc I'm kinda old now. But looking good in tight jeans, short tops is def something I miss.

    1. I want to be healthy - my family history is filled with many medical conditions I've been lucky to have avoided so far. I want to keep it that way.
    2. I want to have a baby.
    3. I've dropped over a 100+ lbs and have managed to gain some of it back. Which I'm not happy about.
    4. Tired of people and their inuendos.
    5. VANITY

    The doctor put me on blood pressure pills two years ago. Happy to say I am off of those now :) I feel that we are obligated to be good stewards of our bodies. Now that I have made some major lifestyle changes I feel much more disciplined in other areas of my life.

    I've never really felt like I was in shape. I've been fat, I've been skinny and skinny/fat.....@44 I would like to be able to look back and honestly say there was a period where I was really "in shape"

    I want to be the only woman that my significant other looks at, I want to have the energy to do all the outdoor things that my state has to offer, I also want to learn how to keep a balanced die!

    To look good and wear whatever I want, and to feel good about/comfortable with myself. Being fat made me super self-conscious, which was a huge emotional/energy drain.
