What motivated you to lose weight?: My health - I have watched it deteriorate for too long and I am too young to feel so old. Also, my husband and I want to have kids in about 2-3 years and I want to be healthy during my pregnancy and produce babies that are as healthy as possible and not unhealthy due to my selfishness.

Your dream job: A stay at home wife/mom

Do you have a reward in mind for when you reach your goal? What is it? Yes, once I reach my goal - my husband promised me a trip to anywhere I choose.

Anything else?: I have been putting this off for too long now - and I am glad I have found a community that I can learn from, support, and be motivated and supported from!
