Inspiration

Well I was inspired after totally beating up Mandy (she asked me to I swear!) We all have our reasons for losing weight. But sometimes those reasons just aren't enough to push us through the hard times. Yeah I wanna wear a bikini, but that's hardly going to motivate me during Thanksgiving supper since I won't be thinking bikini for several months. So I thought I'd compile a bunch of reasons to lose weight, eat healthy and workout. Some are shallow (hello - me!) and some are truly inspirational. I obviously can't think of everyone's motivation so please help me out in the comments! We should have a nice list that we can all check out when we need a little kick in the pants. Here's my list, and while I do appreciate all of them, I put stars by my big ones.
