Cash. Myself and 3 poker buddies pledged $50 each to the guy who lost 40lbs first. I hate giving cash away. Now down 25. It was the quick to keep on track until the numbers started rolling.0

To be a good role model to my daughters was my primary reason to lose weight. These days, I can play with them all day and not tire out before them.
But now, if I drop my flux range down 3kg, I'll no longer have to water load to make weight for competitions. Removing that stress will be awesome!0 -

I'm vain. And my bf is younger than I am. So I want to ensure that he won't be tempted by hot 25-year-olds. I know. I know. There are no guarantees in life. But a girl can try.0

So many reasons....I want to look better. I want to lower my blood pressure. My family has a history of diabetes and heart disease. I want to be around for (hopefully) grandkids some day.
But right now I have a really specific reason. I am taking a group of Boy Scouts to Philmont this summer, which is a high adventure camp in New Mexico. We'll be covering 70+ miles over 12 days on the mountain trails. I have to be under 220 by June 30th or I won't pass the physical. I'm currently down 51 pounds since late September, 21 to go...0 -

I don't want to be the frumpy mom at the ballpark this summer. it's important to feel good in my own skin and to be a good example for my kids. My reasons have changed over the years -- different stages of life!0

I have a terrific personal trainer/gym instructor and while she doesn't call me up if I don't make it, she keeps working out fun and motivation so I WANT to go to the gym. I also know how much better I feel after working out and eating properly, which is enough motivation for me to keep on.0

My son. He's energetic and full of life and I want to be able to enjoy that zeal with him.0
