Hey - it's all good! That part of my life aside, I'm great now!! Originally, I was only going to post the lines about my daughter and feeling better emotionally, but I felt like if there is 1 person reading this to get inspired and may be having a hard time, they should know that dark times can come & they will pass. 😊

Musculoskeletal fitness & longevity.

The ladies at my gym that have become part of my family. They keep me moving for the exercise part. My kids & my husband keep me moving for the healthy eating part. It's all about balance.

Not getting lectured by my doctor every few months is a plus!

Because I have a goal, and losing weight, getting fit, it's part of the journey to get there. Not being winded as I walk up the stairs is also a super nice bonus.

I’m stubborn. Doc told me I was Diabetic and wanted to put me on meds. I said nope let me see if diet changes will make a difference. And it did. Follow-up reading was back to pre-diabetic range and every one since then has been completely normal!

Plus, I’ve come too far to turn back now at 81 lbs and counting.

Then revenge body mentality. My ex left me for someone who has a figure to die for (I mean she did cheat on him and leave him not long after), and I want him to see what he’s missing!

@k8eekins well my reason is to motivate as many people as I can I want to show people anything is possible If you put mind to it!

keonwlsn

@awolf2011 that’s sweet. @mrshadsall I could imagine. @TessMickens thx for sharing! @sweetbe44 amazing you got it!!!

keonwlsn

@BethWilliams24 aaaaaahhhh I see.

A longer life without knee and hip replacements. Pain was my motivator to seek lasting changes.

keonwlsn

@Diatonic12 I’m so sorry about that but glad you are motivated.

Diatonic12

@keonwlsn Pain was the precursor to change. Momentum keeps me going when motivation and willpower run out. When the pain is gone it's sometimes easy to forget why we started in the first place.

@Diatonic12 💯 great words!!!
