There are many reasons, of course. What is ONE reason for today..

because I have stayed on my plan while away from home at the hospital with my stepmom... I should be able to stay on it at home with LESS stress.

because the number on the scale finally started with a 1 instead of a 2 this morning, and I'm never going back!

Spetty - Congrats!!!

Because I am going to Florida again in a few months and I want to wear a smaller size.

BeverlyJoy, great work staying OP through the stress. That's a real challenge indeed, especially when you're dealing with hospital visits.

Spetty, congratulations on onederland! It's a great feeling.

strngsrvrbird, I will be in Florida in March, and I'm staying OP so I can show my mom when I get there that it is possible to stick to a plan and get the weight off. She needs to do it for her health, but she insists it's 'impossible'.

Because I don't want to be alone on Valentine's Day 2013!!!!

#1: I will stay on plan because I've already came so far and I still have a long way to go lol.

#2: I want to look & feel cute for once in my life!

#3: Whenever I run into someone I know that I haven't saw in a while, I want them to be SHOCKED & not recognize me

because i love myself, and i want to treat my body with all of the respect that it deserves.

Spetty - WTG!

Because I'm dreaming about all the cute clothes (or at least not huge ones) that I'll be able to wear in the spring!

Because not staying on track today, will set me back yet one more day

Because I have been messing up bad the past 3 days, in a row.

Because I want to wear new clothes this summer!

Becasue if I made it through today, I can make it through tomorrow!

Because my daughter deserves to grow up with a healthy active mom and learn how to be healthy happy person!

Because small steps will bring me to my ultimate goal. Today is another small step.
