    I want to be my healthiest so I can prevent diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. My father has all three due to poor diet. I also want to be a good role model for my daughter and I want to feel confident.

    I want to feel good. I am getting older and the extra weight doesn't do much for my knees

    Have you seen the tough mudder?
    I can't even fathom trying.

    I just want to be comfortable in my skin. Other people as your reason will never last because you can never please everyone. Everyone says that im fine but I need to feel comfortable for me.

    i've done three tough mudders. they're great. they're a tough event, for certain, but honestly not as hard as people think they are. prepare for it and it'll be a breeze.

    I want to feel more confident and like how I look in pictures :) I want to be able to have photos taken of me and not worry so much about how I'm going to look in them (or untag myself on Facebook haha). Mostly I love feeling healthy, having more energy, etc., and I hope to build up some more strength & endurance over time.

    Yeah I lost 40+ pounds last year, now that I've gained a little back I'm feeling it again.
    And other people noticing makes it worse.

    If tough mudder is too big a step, try a Warrior Dash. Lots of fun, doesn't require much/ any training and is rewarding.
    Try and find motivation by knowing you're doing something good for yourself. Don't let what other people think be what drives you to work out, or not. The person in the mirror is the one who matters - take care of her!! Congrats on what you have accomplished!!

    Same here; I lost a bunch of weight running (45 lbs), and then did a number to my back working at a really physical job and couldn't run; actually I could barely walk and gained almost every bit back .

    I lost my first five lbs at my weigh-in today (29 days), and I want to loose more weight than I did the first time! I'm feeling really motivated, and sticking to low-impact water running, yoga ball and calisthenics, largely inspired by the physical therapists who helped me out so much. It helps to not be so reliant on getting to the gym for the elliptical like the first time around.
