    Awesome attitude towards life! Very inspirational. And my goal was to lose weight and I achieved that goal

    I wanted to go on vacation but the freight rates to ship me over 200 lbs is way too much so I figure I can do ups at 185lbs much more affordable

    Haha that's too funny

    It started out because I didn't want diabetes, I wanted to take my son zip lining, and I wanted to look better. But, in November I was diagnosed with MS, and now my legs randomly give out. So, if hubs has to keep picking me up, I may as well make it easy on him.

    If you ever need to talk about MS or get the perspective of a child whose mom has MS let me know. My beautiful mom has been kicking MS butt for 17 years .

    My 2 reasons to lose weight are 1) to not have to take meds for my type 2 diabetes 2) to get my PCOS under control so we can hopefully have a child in the future.

    1. I want to be visually comfortable in my own body.
    2. I want to be in better shape. I want to move while I still can and get enjoyment from it.

    Still love to play golf and don't want to hit like an old man. The other reason I guess is just to say thanks to my body for giving me a healthy life.

    1) The foods that contribute the most to weight also make me feel awful. They increase my pain, stiffness, lack of energy and general misery. But they are easy, cheap and everywhere. There is to much life ahead of me to give up and I don't see the point in wasting resources living like this. If I'm going to continue on and contribute to the world then I need to be able to enjoy the world and have enough energy to work normally.

    2) I don't like looking like this. I could say a thousand other things but that's the truth. I'm blessed to have an amazing partner who loves me without reservation and regardless of my weight but I don't like it and how it makes me feel about interacting with other people.
