    My motivations are about as vain and shallow as they come-- I wanna wear pretty clothes and look pretty in them! Physically feeling better is quite nice too, but even as large as I've gotten, I've always been fairly active. Looking forward to seeing what I'm truly capable of in the future!

    First of all I just want to be healthy. I want to take care of my body the way it deserves it since I want it to carry me through a couple of more decades. Taking care of myself also helps to overcome my depression. Plus, I want to be able to look in the mirror and actually like what I see there.

    It is not fair, but society treats me differently when I put on weight (and I am only really bordering on chubby, I can only imagine how nasty it is for the obese). I do not like how that feels. Despite my odd profile pic, I have a high level corporate job. I fly around the world and attend a lot of meetings and give a lot of presentations. When I am not in shape, I get treated as though I have no discipline in other areas of my life and I get generally overlooked. There seems to be a lazy tag that gets stuck on me, at this weight.

    Outside of that, I do not feel as though I belong in this body. I am happiest thin and fit and I want to get back to that.

    Hey guys, I'm a newbie! I had what might be considered an emotional meltdown about a year ago and (long story short) exercise turned out to be a fantastic remedy for stress and anxiety. I want to live a happier life, take care of my mental wellbeing, love my body and embrace life in all its beauty. Exercise and clean eating help me with that.
    I'd also love to get physically stronger and drop a few kg if I can. Lacking upper body strength in a big way.

    I have a 15 month old daughter, i want to be a good, healthy role model for her.

    We also want to start trying for another later this year, I want to lose 2 stone before then.

    And for vein reasons, I think I look better at a lower weight and I'm happier there. I want to look good on the beach this summer!

    - advanced yoga would be easier if I have less middle fat and less total bodyweight to lift in more advanced hand balances.

    I am one of the "healthiest" fat folks you will meet. I am not a spring chicken anymore so to keep health problems away I need to loose weight. And I would like tobe around as long as possible to see my kids grow.

    Originally it was to be healthy for my family. It hurt my back to give my sons a bath and honestly...Inwas not ready for that. Wanted to become the man I was created to be so I made it happen. Long journey at first but looking back it was just a matter of time and consistency.

    Currently I workout to
    Remain healthy and honestly for vain reasons...aesthetics. I'm chasing a good physique. Having clear goals keeps you
    Motivated so DO NOT forget to set new goals once current goals are set.

    Remember....Success is only rented...NEVER OWNED...and the rent is do EVERY DAY.

    I also workout to inspire. I work with many around helping them improve their health, lifestyle, and fitness...and recently picked up a local client which is rare. I love seeing the
    glimmer of hope in their eyes...the expression they make when they start to BELIEVE! Greatful for the opportunity to inspire...and you guys should to. So pay attention to those around you as you go through your transformation...your "haters" may soon be asking you for advice..
