I started this thread so that we could share why we can go one day, one more week, one more month... and stick to this diet!
I can stick to it because:
my doctor will brag on me
I'll look great in clothes and I'll want to buy more
This Christmas someone will tell me, "you've lost weight haven't you?"

just because I can do it one more day and it won't kill me...It will only make me healthy

good thinking,
I'm going to stop cheating and stick to it because:
I want to look awesome at my husband christmas party this year in my new skinny clothes!
I want to see something all the way thru for once in my life! god please help me.

I'm going to stick with it because:
* My second grandson is due in October and I'll be in lots of pictures
* I want to have the stamina to play with my three-year-old grandson
* I"m turning 47 and I want to welcome in my 50s in three years in the best shape of my life!!

I want to feel proud of my accomplishment and how I look.

because.....

I will be healthier!
I will feel better about myself!
And......I will look great in my clothes!

because...I CAN do this!

And I have a size 12 bridemaids dress hanging in my closet that I get to wear at my sisters wedding next year.

because I want to be proud of how I look!
And I want my husband to be proud of me.
I want it to be fun to pick out clothes!
I didn't really feel bad 30 lbs heavier, but I hated the mirror and photos of me.
I feel great now and it's only going to get better!

I can stick with this one more day because....
*I will feel and look awesome!
*When my hubs and I renew our vows I want a real wedding dress!
*It will be nice to go in my daughters closet and borrow clothes for a change!!!

I am sticking to this lifestyle change today because:
I lost another lb today
My clothes are feeling really baggy
I am going to finish what i started!

I sticking to this diet because I have my 3rd grandchild due in November and I want to look great in the pictures,too.
I would like to be tiny to celebrate m y 25th wedding anniversary!

I want to have the smallest butt at the work place again!

Bye Bye Cookies, cake and pizza..I've got better plans for my future!

because...I want to feel good about myself again. I started grad school this week, and we took our student id pictures. I thought I would be the only one who saw my picture. Nope!! The first day, the teacher had all of our pictures on the overhead to take attendance. All I could see was my big head compared to all of the small heads!That picture is my motivation to get this weight off once and for all!

because i went to weigh in at the center and after eating off plan for 3 days i didn't lose but i didn't gain either! So relieved! Next week i hope to have lost at least 2 lbs.

I am going to stick to this plan because I can see how carrying around all of that extra weight affected me. I was a mess physically and I feel so good now! I was a heart attack waiting to happen, and now my blood pressure is low and so is my cholesterol level! I believe I will be around a long time and will be able to be at my grandchildren's weddings and be able to hold my great-grandkids sometime in the far distant future.

Because I went to the gym at 6:00 this morning, ate 2 poached eggs on toast and just finished mowing the lawn. I am a machine!

I will stick 2 my diet 2day becuz i want 2:
1.feel mentally sane
2.feel good about myself
3.i dont want 2 put back on the calories i burned this morning from my workout
