    so that I am physically capable of carrying out all the adventures on my epic quest list and to discover new ones to add because my bravery continues to increase.

    I originally came on here so I could be supportive to one of my good friends. I found so much more. I found more good friends and a great support team.

    I worked out before I came on here so I could keep my body fit and healthy. I love to garden and go hiking, or for a walk with the family.

    One day I will have grandchildren and I want to be able to keep up to them too. :flowerforyou:

    - to improve my overall health and well being

    - to avoid the same early demise as my father

    - to be a good example to my children

    - to be a good example to my friends (none of us are getting any younger and most of my buddies don't really take care of themselves)

    - because it feels awesome to be fit and strong (I had forgotten)

    - because it is amazing what proper nutrition can do as "medicine"

    I needed something to track my calories and macros in addition to my training so that I can hopefully some day be a sexy beast.

    I workout so I can possibly stand a chance against being attacked/potential rape yup

    I watch my calories so I can lose weight and maybe help my mental state (not working btw)

    Continue on with what I've been doing for the past 15 years (and I don't have to use actual paper journals any more!).

    Set a (hopefully) great example for my 2 daughters.

    Be even stronger, physically and mentally (which seems to come with age, weirdly) than ever before.

    ....and, you know, to be a MILF. 'Cause that's pretty fun, too.

    I do this stuff so I can:

    Look better and be more confident in my skin for ME.
    To get healthy for my kids and for my husband.
    Be able to become a regular jogger/runner.
    To avoid diabetes that runs in my family on both sides.

    to prove that obesity is not a genetic thing.

    to prove that my destiny was not to struggle with that extra 75 pounds that the women in my family struggle with.

    to show my family and kids that I can enjoy life and food, and still be healthy

    to make my dad proud of the fact that his daughter can bench press weights he cannot lift off the ground. :smile:

    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 :)

    Thank you so much for your kind words!

    I joined MFP as part of a workplace challenge. I stayed because of the results.

    I made great friends.

    I lost those last ten pounds.

    And found self confidence... Not because of the weight... But rather because I learned (and am still learning) how to love myself.
