Since I started my wonderful diet I've gained 3 lbs. Lol!! Its the story of my life. But I have confidence, I CAN DO THIS!! As soon as my final exams are over on Tuesday afternoon I'm starting my exercising and continuing to follow my diet. I have to find some new ways to cook veggies though, and learn to eat fruit every morning instead of anything greasy.

I need to do this because:

I want to look BEAUTIFUL on my graduation day.

I want to go swimming this summer!!

I want my bf to be able to see me in lingerie

I want to be able to run without gasping for air

I don't want diabetes

I despise my stretch marks. Seriously.

I want skinny jeans!

I want my bf to be able to pick me up and play fight without me feeling like a hippo

****I want to be a healthy weight when I have my rainbow baby!!!!****

I want to feel sexy again

I want my evil sisters to be fatter than me (jk... kind of)

I want my self confidence back, and I DESERVE IT!!

Because I love Sophia. That's my big reason.

Everyone needs motivation to lose weight!! Whats your big reasons to lose weight?! We should all make a list and tape it to the fridge so everytime we're about to eat some junk food we can remember why we want to lose weight!

I think it is great that you have given this some thought and have your reasons lined up. I like your "tape it to the fridge" idea, too. Best of luck, and you are right, you can do this.

This is a wonderful idea! My biggest reason is that I want to give my rainbow baby the healthiest womb I can possibly provide. Getting myself back in shape makes me feel like I'm taking care of my future little one. Honestly, that thought alone is the only thing keeping me going and making me take care of myself.

My other reasons:

- I want to fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans, I currently can't get them up over my hips

- I want to feel good about myself

- I want to get rid of the jiggles and dimples lol

My reasons are:

I want to get pregnant again (infertility problems)

I want to play basketball and baseball with my son

I want to wear shorts and not think everyone is staring at my legs

I want to feel good

I want my husband to see the person he married

i want my children to see that food is not the enemy.

i want my children to see the healthy way of living

i want my children to have their mum around for as long as possible

i want to be happy with my mirror image

i want to feel confident in who i am and what i look like

i want to feel sexy, not for my partner but for myself feeling sexy makes a woman so much more confident in every aspect of their lives and i want that feeling.

i am getting there i am almost at goal. Quick tip i found helped me was underwear pictures at the beginning and at regular intervals throughout the journey it can be very inspiring.
