What motivates you?

I was looking through my pictures online and wanted to post my children as my avatar b/c they are my motivation. My 3 children are the reason I am wanting to lose weight and be active. I want to be around a long time for my children - I want to play with them as they are still young - I want my children to be proud of me!

After losing 9 lbs in 3 weeks...my children are proud of me. That is the BEST feeling in the world.

What is motivating you as you continue your journey?

You got some cuties!!

I also have 3 children and they are my motivation as well. I'm tired of being the lazy, overweight Mom that has no energy to do anything but lay around.

Plus, I'm 36 years old. I really want to get in good shape before I hit my 40's because I know the older I get the harder it's going to be to lose the weight.

Your children are adorable what a great picture.
What motivates me? The idea that someday I may have children. We have been trying for 5 years to no avail. Also my motivation is to be around for my husband and to be able to run and get on the floor and play with my great neice and nephew. And to feel better

My boyfriend motivates me the most. My personal trainer second. Basically I want to be healthy to live a long fulfilling life with my bf. I also want to look gorgeous in a wedding gown someday. It's always been my worst fear to look like I am busting out of my wedding dress!

Thanks! I know what you mean about not wanting to be the lazy mom. I will be turning 30 in July 2007 - I don't want my 30's to be bad ones.

Nicky...Thanks! Your time will come when it is right for you to become a Mama. I wish you both the best on conceiving...there is nothing better than having a little one tell you that they love you.
