Motivation

What is your motivation?? What made you say it is time to lose weight & get healthy. I would love to hear your answers. My ah moment, well I can't say there was a specific moment probably a life time of moments that built up. Not being able to fit on a ride at 6 flags after waiting in line for an hour, not being able to fit in nice clothes, being squashed in a plane seat & being depressed are all just some of the things that have lead me to a healthier life. I started on this journey on September 20, 2005 at 254.5 pounds. I am starting 2009 at 208.7 pounds, yes I have lost 46.3 pounds but I should be so much further. I was down to 177.6 pounds in August of 2007. What happened that I got off track, I don't know. I would do good for a week then do bad for 2 weeks this has been my life for the past year. Well no more I have been so motivated by all your blogs & I feel so much better about my self. I know I can do this & I will, I am looking forward to 2009 & how much better my life will from eating healthy & exercising. No excuses.
