    I'd like to say I'm doing it for my health, but I'm already healthy. I'm just overweight and tired of the fat rolls protruding from beneath my shirts. I want to look good like I did when I was 16-18 years old. I was at my ideal weight then. My health at the moment is great. Bloodwork is fine, blood pressure is fine, no other problems, so that is not what drives me to lose weight at the moment. I just want to be HOT again. So I'm with you, love.

    Dictionary.com defines 'vain' as "excessively proud of or concerned about one's own appearance, qualities, achievements, etc.; conceited"

    I think there's a difference between being vain and just wanting to look good. The term vain implies an EXCESSIVE concern about one's appearance, which I don't think a lot of people on here have.

    There's a difference between being conceited and just wanting to be confident in yourself. I want to lose weight to look good and feel good about myself, but I am not obsessed with my appearance. I also want to be healthy and live longer.

    Hell yeah! I personally don't think it's all that bad to want to look good but then again I don't think that being a lush is a bad thing either. :bigsmile:

    I want to look good for my wedding, so ultimately vanity is a huge part of it! Of course, being healthy and living a long life with my future husband are subtitles to the vanity.:-)

    Me, and I don't apologize for it. Of course, the energy and feeling awesome I get from it is an added bonus.

    I agree with all of the above.. All answers fit for me! I'd like to go swimming in Vegas in October and not be self conscious about not wearing a shirt. So yeah, it's about vanity. I also want to look good, feel energized, and live a long and healthy life. It's for my wife, my kids, my family, but most importantly ME!

    If I feel good I will have the energy and ability to make others feel good. Call it vanity, call it what you like!

    Just my two cents!

    Matt
