    my husband is divorcing me...fell in love with his high school sweetheart all over again. Although they can't be together due to his Army assignment (he is on the west coast and she is on the east coast) I just want to make him regret the chioce he made. I hope the next relationship is with someone that knows a womans worth.

    I want to get healthy now so I don't follow in the unhealthy footsteps of my grandparents and mom. Lots of high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholestol, and diabetes run in my family. I want to break the cycle!

    It changes but at the moment it's a red satin dress hanging in my closet. I have a wedding to go to in Miami in 5 weeks and dammit, I am going to ROCK that dress.

    What motivates me most to get healthy and fit is living an honest life. For me, I've been as fat as I've been dishonest. I've decided it's time to be Me and that takes courage and honesty. I've spent years of my life chasing the "carrot" and now I know I have everything I need to be happy inside me. It's time for Me to come out and play, so to speak. :)

    Haha, I love this! I feel the same way. My fiancee lost an extra 30 pounds he had gained in what seemed like a month without even trying. GRRRR to guys metabolisms! I'm soooo ready to catch up. I DESPISE knowing that I weigh about 23lbs more than him! Damn, i'm actually almost starting to cry...i forgot how much that bugged me :sad:
    I suppose that's all themore motivation! thanks for reminding me!

    Motivating me?
    Well first, I'm motivating me :laugh: I've lost 73 lbs/33kg and I like what I see, so I'm pushing towards the last 20kg.
    Next seeing my partner in 4months and knocking his socks off :wink:
    Of course it is getting hard to move this last lot of weight and sometimes it is frustrating:grumble: ...but going backwards is just plain scary
    Everything that a healthier life can give me that an unhealthy life didn't...

    I am 1.6 pounds away from crossing into ONEderland! Haven't been there since my oldest son was born 21 years ago! I also took all my size 18 and up clothes to goodwill and literally have 2 pr jeans, 2 pairs of work pants, about 20 shirts (15 of which are t-shirts) and a bunch of really cute work out clothes! I will not buy anything else until I am in 14s!!!

    The desire to be able to actually breathe and move freely in the jeans I am currently wearing and a desire to shrink right out of the darn things!

    unfortunately nothing. I've stopped everything that I was doing and I;ve reverted back to my old ways. I am having a hard time pulling myself up and out of the hole I'm in. I know it will pass but its a set back.

    On the positive side? The size 2 jeans I fit into today.

    That particular brand probably runs a little big, but still! If anyone had told me last year "by this time next year, you're going to fit in size 2 pants," I would NOT have believed it.

    On the negative side... the flab on my belly that's screaming "hurry up and get rid of me!"

    I have several motivations.

    First and foremost, my health; and not just my health for me, but health because my husband and I want to have a baby, and I am really overweight. Second on the health, if I don't lose weight in these next 6 months, I am being referred to a bariatric surgeon and at this point that seems almost impossible to avoid.

    I have a 7 year old child that I can barely keep up with, and I would LOVE to.

    I would like to also be able to be the same size I was in high school. It would be nice to go into a store to try clothes on, vs. ordering online and hoping everything fits when it gets here. I want to feel beautiful on the inside too.
