I'm struggling with motivation big time right now. I was down 40 lbs and since I've gained back about 3 lbs. I can't seem to get remotivated. My goal right now is to get under 240. That is about 3 lbs from here. I go in for a fill on Thursday.

Number one on my list was overall heatlh - get rid of the weight before the problems kicked in.

Number two on my list was :preggers:.

Number three on my list was overall improved quality of life.

I want to feel better in terms of physical and mental health...but what really kicked my butt in gear was my little boy. So I guess he's really my motivation.

First is me! then is I wanna look hot for my boyfriend - i know he doesnt like chunky girls and i have justed seemed to get bigger and bigger since ive been with him - he totllay does mind because he loves me to death and whne i told him about this he was like "WHY! dont do that!" But i want it for me the most! I know i have an inner skinny person and they want out!

Health--no doubt about it. I was tired of being in pain all the time from my arthritis in the knees and ankles, and I would love to get rid of the C-Pap machine I have to sleep with for sleep apnea. That, and the diabetes and high blood pressure--enough was enough!!!! Happy to report I am off one of my blood pressure meds completely already!

ME absolutely. I am a singer and I am on stage a lot! I've always felt like the way I looked on the outside never matched who I am on the inside. When people hear me I want the passion that I feel to come through in every way. My insecurities about how I looked held me back BIG TIME!

Besides the health issues, my youngest son is my motivating factor. The day he told me I had to "quit growing" because he couldnt get his arms around me to hug me was a real wake up call for me.

Right now my biggest motivation is my wedding in June. I'm a little over halfway to goal now, I'll never make it all the way to goal in just 5 more months, but if I could get into a size 12 before then, I would be sooooooo thrilled....
