Hello Everyone! :love:

Last week, several of us had one thing or another come up in our lives to cause us to set aside a workout or healthy meal. Sometimes, life just happens, but it is good to be reminded of our goals. Therefore, this thread is dedicated to why we want to lose weight and be fit! Let's share our 100 reasons by Wednesday! This will make for an interesting thread, and allow us to get to know each other better. Join in, whether you're doing this round of the challenge or not! I'm sure that we will find that we have some goals in common. If you can't think of 100, go as high as you can. You can always come back and add later. :flowerforyou:

    Glad I ran across this again. All of these are still true. Now that I'm trying to lose my baby weight I needed this motivation to start over hopefully for the last time!!
