    So many reasons. First I want to be happy, I know that's not always the answer but it's a start, I don't want to be disgusted every time I get undressed, I want to feel sexy, and shop for the clothes the skinny girls look cute in lol! Secondly, I just want to be a good role model for my kids, get healthy, and be active. I want to run or bike without getting out of breath, especially since quitting smoking 4 months ago. Thirdly, I ache for that day when I can pass up a bag of potato chips and that chocolate bar without arguing with myself, or I can have a treat without making myself feel like that was the worse mistake I've ever made. Basically I don't want food to take over my thoughts, or to be my enemy. I want to make myself proud!!

    I am getting married in a couple of years.......on the beach. I think that pretty much explains itself. However, I also just want to feel prettier. I am constantly surrounded by people skinnier than me (and shorter) however I mainly want to FEEL better-both mentally and physically. :smile:

    Mine was more health reasons. My bp & cholesterol were too high & I didn't want to have to start taking drugs. Well......those kind of drugs. :laugh:

    Plus, I was tired of being disgusted with myself.

    Now I just use my personality to disgust. :blushing:

    Believe it or not, within three years, I put on 40 lbs and could not for the life of me figure out how that could have happened. I just didn't own a scale or even get on one at the doctors office (maybe I did but they didn't SAY the result out loud). I worked retail pretty much most of my life and was always a reasonable and acceptable 130-135 lbs.

    Suddenly, I turned 41, and all heck broke loose, apparently. I seemed to look okay enough in the mirror. About 1 1/2 years ago things just weren't fitting the same, and I began school for medical coding. The nursing program area of the school had a scale and I got on and measured up to 174 lbs! I was SHOCKED, needless to say. But being in school, I was super-concerned about having enough energy and sleep to make the Deans List all year, so I didn't worry too much about diet or exercise.

    Having spent this past year and a half attached to the medical industry, I learned some things about weight and health. Many morbidly obese people live in conjunction with comorbidities: usually diabetes, copd, hypertension, and degenerative joint disease. These conditions exacerbate one another until it's a chicken/egg situation.

    I just thought it would be wise, if I have almost nothing else going for me (no higher education, no retirement money saved, few teeth, don't own a house, bad credit) that I take a decent body weight into the aging process. And yes, I'm only 45, but that's about halfway in my eyes. There are enough unexpected health problems that one can encounter, and I think that if you go in physically 'prepared' for aging, anything that comes a long in terms of 'bad news' can be handled a lot better if you don't have 40++ lbs weighing you down.

    In the short term, I hate that things don't fit right. And truth be told, at this point, it's almost like a game to me. This is FUN!! Without compromising my health (that means not skimping on calories), I want to see how much weight I lose every week, and how many inches I shrink. Like Christmas every week. I want to see if I have the discipline required to reach my goals. I have reached lots of goals, both short and long term. I've been described as tenacious, and this is no different.

    LOL.. Funny, I LOVE LOVE pole dancing!! I did it for awhile (age 39 and 40), but couldn't make any money. But I got a smokin' hot body out of it (and promptly lost it!:grumble: )

    Good for you.

    So my main reason is that we finally found a ring and are getting married in early 2010, I wanted to be in atleast a 12 by the time we got married but now I am shooting for much lower as 14 already fit. I also want to have a healthier life style before having children, I think that what you eat as a kid and how you are raised to eat desides your teen and adult habits and I want my kids to have a good start but in orger to follow through with that I need to be a good example. Also diapeties runs in my dads family and I hate needles. Of course the being SEXY part always helps.

    Well to be honest, I always kind of felt like the DUFF (designated ugly fat friend) that people hang out with to make themselves look hotter. Plus, I am super shy with boys. Sorta. I have TONS of friends who are boys (in fact I'm pretty sure some of think I AM a boy), but no boys who are interested in being more than friends, if you get the drift. I know people should love you for who you are on the inside, but I always feel too shy to actually get to actually meet people with any confidence... therefore, they never get to know me enough to love me :tongue:

    Plus, heart disease, high bp, high cholesterol, type II diabetes...etc etc etc ALL run in my family. Both sides of my family. :ohwell: SO. starting now is probably a good idea... lol.

    another reason i want to lose the weight.... i am going to be living in house with 3 boys next year at school (i know i must be crazy) and one of them is my ex :grumble: so i want to make him jealous that he can't have me anymore. i want other boys to be attracted to me so he feels bad for losing me. i know its a veryyyyyy superficial reason to want to lose weight but in the back of the mind it keeps me motivated. :tongue:
