    I likey!

    To be the person I know I can be, with energy to spare!
  • -to increase my chances of having a baby
    -to be able to run around with the baby when it comes!
    -to feel sexy again
    -to stop cringing every time I see a photo of myself!
  • I love all of these!!! When you think of your body as your 'temple', it sure makes it easier to make GOOD food choices......we can all have what we want, we just have to stay committed!!
  • Seeing my body transform right before my eyes is the biggest motivator! Losing weight was always something I wanted to do for myself but I didn't think I would be able to accomplish my goals, but here I am 40 lbs lighter. I never want to go back to the heavier me. I'll be beach body ready in no time!

    Feel free to add as a friend, the more the merrier!

    - To complete a triathlon in June
    - To feel strong
    - To be ready for my next adventure
  • I am tired of feeling like crap!
    I want to be able to keep up with my son and be active without throwing out my back!
    I need more energy!
  • My kids keep me going. They are my never ending inspiration.
    My husband keeps me going, he recently lost 60 pounds and is forever encouraging me on my journey.
    But, first and foremost...I just want to feel good. I want to be able to walk up the stairs without wanting to keel over. I want to be able to play outside with the kids without having to rest. I want to run a 5K in honor of my brother, who fought stage 3 colon cancer AND WON.
  • Ahhhhh you all are motivating me!!! :D SUCH great reasons to CHANGE and start living the lives we deserve!!!

    What keeps ME going?

    * a trip to Cancun in March....which is coming up A MONTH FROM NOW! yikes ;)
    * now that I am NOT obese anymore (yay!), I want to see how far I can go.
    * to be the person I know I am inside.......to improve that body image to be what I actually SEE in the mirror (I'm one of those who never saw myself as fat, even when I was)
    * to feel better, be more energetic to keep up with my 4 yr old grandson, and to live the best life I can!
