    For me it is an upcoming trip to Paris. I realized if I didn't get my health under control I was going to waste an amazing opportunity to see another country. I have some intense fears about being uncomfortable on such a long plane ride. Not to mention making whomever is stuck next to me just as uncomfortable.

    It also made me realize how many other things in my life I have been holding back on for fear of being uncomfortable or making others around me uncomfortable. (Because I don't fit well in normal spaces. Such as seats at a concert, plane seats or anything physical that exerts a lot of exercise.) I have let my fears rule my life for the last 5 years. But no more. I am taking my fear in hand and facing it head on.

    I might not get to my goal weight but I will be a heck of a lot happier in trying!

    Health. I am 40 now and have had weight issues most of my adult life. I want to get rid of my CPAP, be able to teach my son how to play football. and not be dead at 59 like my dad who never got to meet his grandchildren. I want a long happy life with the girl I am marrying in a few months. I want to LIVE.

    A rocking body.
    A HEALTHY body

    Because I love the challenges that I constantly set for myself, and they require a high level of fitness.

    Because I love food and need a high burn to keep eating all the yummy stuffs

    For my kids... To set a good example.

    Oh, and to drive my beast wild!

    Fitting into the world around me better. Which I've mostly achieved. But want to continue that of course...

    Feeling proud of myself.

    Health has not been my primary motivation, though perhaps it should have been when I was morbidly obese for so many years. Now I am motivated by health. However at the beginning, I was more motivated by vanity and hating the photos taken of me.

    Awesome. God Is good :)

    congrats on quitting smoking. You are half way there :)

    Oh you certainly drive this Beast wild! :wink:

    My job is a physical job so I have found as I've gotten older it's taken a toll on my body. I need to continue to work hard and keep my body in shape so I can continue to handle doing my job.

    I am also tired of my lil belly which is slowly going away. Abs, here I come

    I also REEEEALLY love making my amazing Mirey drool :wink:

    My daughter. Thirteen months old today, and I want her growing up with a momma who does not display unhealthy eating habits. I want her to see food for what it is--food. It's not the enemy, nor is it the proper way to deal with hard emotions. It's food.


    This is so important! Good for you, Seriously. I wish I had healthy habits from my parents. its quite the opposite.
