What's the REAL reason you want to lose weight?

1st reason: I want to feel good - I was diagnosed with MS a few years ago and sank into a depressive funk (also gained weight from steroids and other meds I had to take during a bad flare...ugh!) So yes - for my health and general sanity I will lose weight.

2nd reason: I'd like to look great in photographs, wear my old gorgeous clothes that currently do not fit me, and be able to shop and wear whatever I want.

3rd reason: I am tired of family looking at me and labeling me "the fat, sick" one. HUMPH! "F" them I say.

Finally: my husband absolutely loves me no matter what, but even the 10 lbs I've lost so far have put a little more spring in his step. *mwahaha!* 45 more to go!

I hit 40, and like a car that has clocked 100k miles...everything started going downhill all of a sudden. For the first time in my life, I started to not only LOOK old, I started to FEEL old. I didn't like it AT ALL, and became determined to look and feel as young as (or younger than) my age.
