Lost 80 lbs after becoming a dad. Needed to be there for them.
Honestly got pretty heavy before my first kid was born. Depressed, lazy, ate like garbage. But then I held my daughter and thought about what if I have a heart attack at 50 and miss her graduation or her wedding. Something just clicked. Started slow with walks then got into running. Now I'm at my high school weight and I actually have energy to play with my kids instead of sitting on the couch. My back doesn't hurt, I sleep better, my confidence is completely different. I miss the ease of not caring what I looked like but man this version of me is so much better.
This hits different. Not just about looking better but being better for them. That's real motivation right there.
