            I'm starting a new job soon and i really want a fresh start, i think shedding a bit of the excess weight will give me the confidence to be as good at my job as i can be. also, who doesn't want to look good in a swimsuit?0

            My main motivation is to be able to feel good about my body again, to not look into the mirror and be disgusted. That is a HUGE motivation for me and so far has pulled me through, I am just sick of the way I am!! My next motivation is my health. I want to live as long a life as possible..to be able to spend many many yrs with my kids and husband and to health wise feel great!0

            I actually like to exercise but on those days where I'm feeling lazy I tell myself my body "DESERVES" to exercise. We were made to move our bodies, really. That's all I need to get off my butt!0

            Five of my family members have died in the past two years of cancer. Another one just diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Each one had a different type of cancer. I'm just trying to be healthier, more careful about things, and hopefully beat the odds.0

            -My son. I want to show him a healthy and active lifestyle.
-My husband. He has type 2 diabetes and I really hope that he will maybe be influenced to clean up his eating habits also.
-Myself. I have always been uncomfortable. I have always been overweight. I want to feel more confident and comfortable. I also love running and reaching faster times and further distances. It's easier to run with less weight to carry around.0 - 
            What keeps my butt pushing and moving on is purely revenge, and seeing a certain someone's face drop after seeing what they lost!!

LOL I'm with you on the revenge part! Not to mention getting my happiness, confidence, and self-esteem back, all the while mending my broken heart.0 - 
            My boobs motivate me.
Yea, seriously. I paid a fortune, had 2 surgeries.. complications.. but now I love them. Having a great top half and a fat gross bottom half is not acceptable.0 - 
            My age is as big a motivator as any other. I dont want to end up a fat old lady. I have too much more living to do.0

            My 30th birthday is coming up and lets just say I'm not too happy about it. So I planned a trip to Cuba for it and told myself that if I have to turn 30 then at least I'll be in the best shape of my life for it.
