So we all have different reasons for being motivated to lose weight and get healthy, and I imagine actually being in this contest and/or winning it is only a minor one. (Although I have to say that having a community of people, especially when it's family, to support each other is awesome.)
Since having Elizabeth, she is my biggest motivation. Over the years I've wanted to lose weight, but it just never happened, for one reason or another. I lost focus, I guess. But now I have someone I look at every day and think: I want to be able to keep up with her when she starts moving fast. I don't want her to be embarrassed to be seen with me. I want her to live a healthy lifestyle. I don't want her to end up overweight and ashamed like I've been for most of my life.
There are other motivations, such as not wanting to have so many complications whenever we get pregnant again...just plain feeling better about myself...knowing people will look at me differently, both personally and professionally...and knowing that I am as in shape as my brother! (grrr)
What are your motivations for wanting to lose weight/be healthy?
