What is your motivation to loose weight

What is your motivation to loose weight. Personally I like to set mini goals such as getting my hair done to boost my enthusiasm. I also recently met a guy I like and noticed that it drove my workouts into 5th gear, and the intensity has increased immensely. What about you?

Mine is pretty simple. I want to lose weight, so that my clothes fit looser.

I am planning a shopping trip to Grove City PA at the end of May and I'd love to buy clothes in a smaller size. I also might go away somewhere tropical in the fall and would love to feel comfortable in my own skin on the beach (it's been a long time). But I'm also getting older and I know I should be eating healthy and working out, so that's a main reason.

I want to feel better about myself also. I'm tired of avoiding the mirror, and being uncomfortable in anything but yoga pants. :-/ I'm purposely going VERY slow (5 pounds in 65 days so far), and I've mentally prepared myself for 1 year of counting before maintenance. I have about 30 pounds to lose.

CHEST PAINS. I've been having them and have seen multiple cardiologists who have done so many tests and apparently it's not my heart.. but it will be if I don't get this weight off. I do not want to have a heart attack I just had a sweet baby girl 4 weeks ago and have a 4 yr old. The thought of not seeing my kiddos grow up because of something I can prevent hurts a lot!

Also, anyone feel free to add!

Hmm gotta be honest... one of my fellow curvy pals announced that she'd lost 30lbs on FaceBook, I was super happy and pleased for her... but ALSO panicked that she would be thinner than me and that I'd be the fat one of the group. That gave me the initial push but now I'm seeing results I'm doing it for myself and because I love clothes. Ah, the vanity of my motivation

Hi everyone. My motivation is not just to look good in a bikini, but to be proud of how I look in it.

Im glad your medical issues cleared up, I dont care about spelling or grammar on these sites

So many things motivate me! (List not necessarily in priority order)

#1 - To feel good, to feel strong, and maintain my health
#2 - To look good in (and out) of clothes
#3 - To have my husband compliment me
#4 - To play disc golf on tough courses
#5 - To play with my grandson
#6 - To be an inspiration to others
#7 - To be proud of myself!

Es513 its awesome that you want to get in shape for your kids that is probably the best motivation. Lillyrose, I had a friend lose weight and post it on Facebook and the same thought ran through my head to give me the initial nudge lol

SonofNorthernDarkness

msuspaul

My motivations are to live a healthy lifestyle, healthy life, to be comfortable in my clothes, and did I mention a trip to Florida

mrsdcsmithiv

I'm trying to get pregnant and I'm 50 lbs overweight (gained in 4 months). Doctors are running tests but I still keep gaining, so I'm just trying to change my lifestyle completely.

dondon1965

Doing it for me cause i deserve it lol trying to take a different approach this time like when u buy that something because u feel u deserve it well i think i deserve to be thinner i have raised my babies into wonderful a

soldiergrl_101

MrsDc I know u can do it. I feel you I gained 50lbs in 4 months after loosing fourty pounds to begin with. I got complacent and gained more back than I originally lost

I don't really wanna lose weight per se. I train to just push my body's limits. Some days I train harder just to have a couple extra slices of pizza. Discovering powerlifting was a life changing event for me.

Mycophilia

Well I got fat. So now I want to unfat myself.

sunshine4040

I want to lose so I am healthier and have more energy. I don't feel comfortable with how I look any more, and I want to be able to play with my kids, and do the things I used to do before being chunky became a problem. I want to wear the cute tops, and the jeans, and look good doing it, for my own self image...lol.

My motivation comes from walking through Walmart. Summer is coming, and they have all their best and cutest clothes on the racks! Nothing that I like is in my size (4x or 5x), which is why I am motivated to lose weight: I want to wear good clothes!

mathandcats

My initial motivation was a health scare. That's a very strong motivator, and it still keeps me going.

As I get more fit and more into the pattern of things, I just can't imagine going back to what I was doing. I feel SO much better being more fit - I sleep better, I'm more productive, I'm more comfortable all the time (better posture and such), and I'm much happier and less self conscious. I think a lot of these benefits would have been there without the weight loss, but of course that helps.

I want to be at a healthy weight and be fit.

My #1 reason to lose weight is to be healthy! Each time I walk by a mirror I want to smile at what I see! And I want to be an example for my family to be healthy too!

etheridgetracy1

#1 Live a healthier life #2 Feel better about myself #3 I have never ever owned a bikini, and lol, I would love to wear one and feel awesome in it, I'm now 45 years old.

I'm tired of being self conscious! I want to be able to wear whatever I want and feel good about it!

marissad304

Just had some professional photos taken for work and (unfortunately) I'm only happy with the ones where my arms are mostly covered. Time to get some muscle back into those bad boys!

PS Feel free to add me and we can support each other

I'm a mother of 2, my youngest just 8 weeks old. I want to actually be toned for once, and I promised my husband that I will always and forever be a hot mama!

I put on a few pounds. My suit was tight. My waist (and butt, etc) were a little bigger. I like being a little smaller. I decided it is easier to lose the about 3 - 5 lbs I put on than to wait until it was more. I was also at a weight that is at the higher weight I like myself at, so I thought I'd try the lower weight for awhile and will loose the 8 - 10 lbs and see how it looks.
