    1) To look as good to my wife as she looks to me
    2) Be able to play anything my kids (and some day grand kids) could ever ask me to play

    To live a long, healthy life for my wife & son. To be a good role model for my son and having him grow up to want to make healthy choices as well. Also having an awe inspiring figure wouldn't be too bad.

    Wow, love your positivity and goals! You seem like an amazing and dedicated woman.
    My overall goal was to become a healthy and fit me. And I've quickly realized how good I can feel with a cleaner diet and an increase in my workout. The harder I work, the more positive I feel.
    Keep up the good work!

    1) Health. My family's health history sucks, I don't want to see myself going down the road I've seen many of them travel. I want to be able to do things I want to do with ease.

    2) My children. They need a good role model - both their father (my ex) and I have struggled with weight and I don't that for them. I'm brutally honest with them about healthy choices and exercise while still allowing them to 'be kids' so-to-speak.

    Good luck!

    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.

    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

    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.
