Well honestly at this point in my life, okay I’ll admit it, I’m 54! I really need to lose weight for health reasons. I lost 35 pounds on WW about 12 years ago and after quitting smoking, gained it all back, plus a few more. So here I am for the umpteenth time trying to get back at it but it is a real struggle. I’ve added exercising recently since I really don’t think I can lose without exercising also. My job is in front of a computer all day so….

Health is the #1 reason and I would also like to look good in clothes again!

i never learned healthy habits as a child, and i don’t want my children to have as hard a time being healthy as i’ve had, so i’m trying to learn the habits now, before i have children, so that i can pass the knowledge on. i’m also terrified of dying, so i want to live as long as possible.

I want to lose weight so that I can look at myself in pictures and not see my round chubby face and double chin.

I want to lose weight because fun, cool, stylish, funky fashions look better on a more slender me. I’ll spend an hour (at home) trying on outfits, mixing and matching styles and colors and it’s fun, because everything fits. Of course, in the process, I’ve gained energy and confidence. Next I’m going to work on “getting fit” the often forgotten sister of “losing weight.” I’m looking forward to that challenge!

i always just wanted to be skinny – it was only during the process that i realized how much i love feeling strong and powerful, fit and active. i love endorphins and the idea that people think of me (me!) as a fit, active person.

To continue to feel better be a good example for those I love. I want to lose weight – what am I saying – I AM LOSING WEIGHT and WORKING out and KEEPING IT OFF so my heart can be strong/so my body mind and spirt can all connect. So I show the giver of this great gift of life that I don’t take it for granted or abuse it and I am thankful for it. I want to continue to turn my husbands head!!!! I’m 5′7 32 my goal is 160 I’m 28 pds from my personal goal and to think that 7 yrs ago I wore a 22/24!!! I run/I cycle/ I taebo/I firm/I eat veggies and lots of lean meats I have amazing calves from working out – I have quads so strong! I have endurance!…and fish oil lots of fish oil!!!! I am strong because of the changes I have made in 7 yrs…. I will be 160!!!
