    I have a close family member with diabetes. I want to avoid that happening to me.

    Because of the health problems that I have which make it harder for me to lose weight and losing 5 lbs in the first week keeps me motivated to continue doing the program. Seeing that it is possible to lose weight as I have not been successful on other programs. Also, I refuse to buy bigger clothes and I want to fit into my nice smaller size clothes.

    I'm doing this for myself but for my girls most importantly. My daughters are grown now and they both have picked up a few pounds so to help push them to get back in those jeans and be happy in the mirror is motivation for me. I want my girls to live and eat healthier life style change. I push myself I'm 49 they see mom can do it ( 29 & 24 yrs old) young women certainly can. My girls are the inspiration

    The thing that always keeps me motivated is how I FEEL when I am lighter and eating better (and moving more, but I don't do a ton of exercise). When I eat poorly, get bloated, and gain I feel awful. My mind is slower, my energy is lower, I'm just unhappy. I am happy being healthy. Vanity also slips in, but it's not the more important point. I love clothes and I love how I look in clothes when I am lighter.

    I'm in medicine, and I know how excess weight affects one's health currently and as they get older. I don't want to do that to myself if I have control.
