I might actually get IN FRONT of the camera more often instead of behind it. That will be a big motivation for me.

I won't say this time of doing LC is easier, but kinda. Instead of feeling deprived, I'm looking for new ways to enjoy my food. Instead of eating the same things over and over, I'm not bored with food this time. Instead of trying to do LC at the same time with my DH, I'm doing this on my own for myself whether he jumps into LC again or not (he jumped back in Monday. lol)

I keep telling people that 40, the age I'll be in October, is just a number to me. I don't feel 40. But on the other hand, it is me getting older and I don't want to be overweight the next 40 years. I WON'T be overweight the next 40. That is my main motivation.

DH and I are getting into our later years of children and work. Our kids will be moved on and out within the next 10 years. We want to travel more. I want to have the stamina and energy to walk and tour a lot where ever we go.

I want to enjoy my life more, weighing less.

I want to have a baby soon

I'm 27 (28 in October), and I'm starting to get the maternal itch, lol

I can't imagine adding 30 + pounds to what I already weigh. I know I would feel terrible, and if my morbid obesity caused any harm to my baby, I don't think I could live with myself.

I want to give myself and my baby (hopefully!) the best possible chance at a happy future

(Oh, and I'm sure I'd have a better chance at conceiving if my weight were lower, as my cycles are very messed up)
