You ladies are so inspirational. I have tears in my eyes!

Why I want to lose weight?

1) I want to have a baby. Losing weight will help me manage my hormones better, therefore give me a better chance of conceiving. I also want to make my body as healthy as possible, so my baby has all the right ingredients to grow healthy and strong.

2) I REFUSE to keep gaining weight. I may only be 35-40 lbs overweight right now, but if I don't change, that number will keep growing. The more weight I gain, the more risk I am placing on myself for future health problems.

3) I don't still want to be trying to lose weight 10 years from now, or 20 years from now, or 30 years from now. I want to get to a healthy weight and MAINTAIN.

4) Better sex. Sorry to be so blunt, but seriously... When DH and I are working out, it is SO much better! We enjoy each other's bodies more and feel better about our own bodies. It makes a world of difference.

5) I want to look hot again. Shallow? Maybe. True? Yes. I admit it.

What keeps me motivated? Results - seeing a difference and wanting to take it one step further.

Thanks everyone for sharing! This is all great stuff.
Claire
