I want to get fit because i have been chubby all my life and have yet to see my self with a six pack. I tried to get fit plenty of times but always gave up somehow. Being that i lost 28 pounds with a clean diet and good workouts, im seeing crazy results and it inspires me to do better and keep pushing.

    i have a few reasons really, want to get fit for myself and my daughter and im getting married at the end of the year, these are my biggest motivations to get fit and loose weight. Ive tried many diets and ways to loose weight but its never seemed to happen no matter how hard i try. i started clean 9 and ive already lost 16lbs so all i can say is onwards and upwards nothings going to get in my way :)

    I know it sounds like the obvious answer but I want to live a long and healthy life and be happy in my skin.

    Also it's the one area of my life that I can have total control over.

    I WANT TO BE FIT BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT MY SELF WHEN I AM AT MY FITTEST AND HEALTHIEST. MY CONFIDENCE IS AT ITS HIGHEST AND I APPRECIATE LIFE IN A BETTER WAY. I ALSO WANT TO BE FIT BECAUSE I AM AN EXAMPLE FOR THOSE AROUND ME AND I WANT OT SHOW MY CHILDREN AND LOVED ONES A HEALTHY AND HAPPY WAY OF LIVING. BEING FIT IS A LIFESTYLE NOT A FAD OR A TEMPORARY FIX. ITS A MINDSET THAT WILL CHANGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE. AND LETS NOT FORGET I LOOK FREAKING GREAT WHEN I'M FIT, LMAO...

    @Qui green...Every sentence you just said is simply inspirational. You took my topic in ran away with it.I think that you're amazing and I also think that you can achieve any goal that you wish. I think you should take advantage of all tasks that come your way. you should work hard stay focused and forget about the negativity. I'm glad to have you a part of my team nothing like dedication from a friend to help boost the confidence.you're on the right path.

    1. Improve my appearance - I love the way that I feel about myself and noticed that it also inspires other people to get fit.

    2. Increase my health and longevity - don't want to be on medications and have health related problems during my retirement (old age). I would like to travel around the world and be active and healthy when I retire.
