I do this... So that I can...

to simply keep my calories within range - then came the forums! LOL

I exercise and eat right to get my body fat down to a healthy range and avoid the family tradition of diabetes.

I lift weights to build strength to support other activities like running with a reduced risk of injury.

I run because I have learned how to do it and enjoy it from my beautiful, amazing friend MireyGal76.

So that I can eat all the food.

Inspire my children to incorporate fitness into their lives and to be healthy.
Inspire my husband to exercise and get healthy so he lives a nice long life.
Keep my dog healthy by giving her regular exercise.
Revel in the feeling of being fit and feel good about myself.
Wear nice clothes.
Enjoy the feeling of completing a run, a 10k, maybe some day a half marathon and marathon.

So that I can eat all the food.

Count me in on this, too. :happy: :drinker:

So that i can be HOT!!! <----true story





ok lets keep it real
if theres ever a zombie apocalypse,
im gunna be able to beat those f*ckers!

I want to be off of some medication. My blood work results came in. I am so darn close to *not* be considered diabetic! I'm close to my goal. I'm right on the borderline!

I also want to walk more. I am working on that goal. Last summer, I walked a few two mile hikes with my husband.

I'm learning to be flexible with my goals due to my health. I'm probably learning patience also.

Thanks for posting this~

Grats! my gran was diagnosed with type2 diabetes.. and she said hell no. hit the gym changed her diet and was declared not diabetic shotly after! keep going

Sorry i missed the point of this thread i do this because :

I enjoy food but i maybe enjoy it too much and sadly i cant eat the amounts or types of food i want anymore without putting weight on.

So i do this so i can lose weight, feel and look good and eat some of the foods i want without feeling guilty or seeing an extra roll appear on my belly!

I do this...So I can hold myself accountable for calories and fitness.

Most of the time:smokin:

I often think about this...I started out because I wanted to lose weight...I wanted to LOOK GOOD!! NOW, I still want that but, I do it more for Health reasons then anything!

...I don't want to develop High BP that runs in my family.

...I am already Hypoglycemic so, I don't want to develop into a Diabetic.

...I want to be able to run and play with my girls.

...I want to be able to do things without relying on others to do them for me because I physically cant.

...I don't want to DREAD the hot summers because I am too hot to wear skimpier clothes (LOL). The only down fall...NOW, I GET TOO COLD!!!! LOL!!! But, at least I can pile on the layers...you can only take off so much when you're hot!!!

...And also, as others have said, I want our girls to know what it means to eat HEALTHY and to be Healthy & Active!!!

Thanks Sandra for helping me remember my WHY!!!

So I can understand that it's okay to eat good food that I enjoy without feeling guity.
