    Reasons I want to lose weight:

    1. To be healthy & avoid getting diabetes
    2. To be more confident, and recieve compliments
    3. To inspire others who are where I started at (265 lbs)
    4. To shop in the petite section of the store and not the plus size area
    5. To go to the beach and not wear a t-shirt over my suit
    6. To be no longer the "obese" family member
    7. To prove to myself I can accomplish something
    8. To live life and not have to obsess about losing weight all the time
    9. To no longer be asked "when is your baby due?" um, when I'm not even pregnant ....lol (Lord knows, we've all heard this one at some point)
    10. I am totally 100% hooked on the show "Glee" and on Halloween 2012 I want to dress as a Cheerio (the Glee cheerleader costume) and this year I was too big for the costume, this year, I stood in the Halloween store just looking at the costume in envy and with my feelings hurt knowing theres no way i could wear it...... but next year I will be thin & I will wear that costume, Im determined. :smile:

    To be healthy. It's not about a number. I weighed next to nothing when I was 18 and still didn't think I was good enough. I have to change something in my head. If my body is doing what I ask it to do, with energy to spare, then the weight loss is a byproduct.
    I want to hike, swim, windsurf and have the energy to do it!

    Because when my mother was my age, (61), she collapsed at the bus stop while waiting to go to work. Her "retirement" consisted of slowly and painfully dieing of cancer.
    As I approach retirement, I want to spend it healthy and enjoying life.

    1. To be able to fit into one of those /gorgeous/ Prom dresses that I always stare intensley at when Kohls puts them out in April.
    2. To feel good and look good when I walk the stage at Graduation.
    3. To avoid the Heart problems and the diabetes on my dads' side of the family.
    4. To show all of the people who have ever called me fat that they can't push me around and that I'm better than them because I have the drive to do something like lose weight instead of making fun of people like they do. (I think they're in the closet, because they always make fun of my bisexuality too. They're so uncomfortable with those little girls scratching at their closet doors.)
    5. So I can eat what i want and not see the disapproving stares of others
    6. So I can wear what I want, when i want.
    7. Beach body for Floridas' hot summers!
    8. I have a trip to Europe coming next year. European guys and girls are attractive.
    9. I'll be starting college next August/September. I want to be the obnoxious skinny girl that people like and tolerate because she's cute and skinny, not the obnoxious fat girl that people like and tolerate because they feel bad.
    10. To get my parents to stop telling me I'm fat
    11. New clothes. Cute clothes. Small clothes. Hot Topic red plaid skirt. Corsets.

    #1 I want to feel better. My disability will always be there but I'm sure I can feel better than I currently do.
    #2 Be in better shape. I've let myself decline so much, some of it was inevitable but some I could have prevented.
    #3 Eating better will hopefully give me more energy, I want to not be so fatigued all the time.
    #4 surgery, I have a few surgeries that need doing that I cannot have because they don't take people with a BMI over 30.
    #5 We want to start a family and I want to be a good role model to them.
    #6 I've been overweight my whole adulthood and my teenage self would have been disgusted, it's amazing how much we convince ourselves that it is ok to be overweight.

    I want to be able to walk in the store and buy the cute skirts this summer.

    To be able to wear the jeans that I purposely bought too small last summer. They are super cute...I can't wait I'm almost there.

    I want to look like I did on my wedding day.

    I want to be the "hot mom" at our future PTA'S at school.

    I want another baby this fall and don't want to weigh as much this time around.

    I WANT TO RUN!!!!

    RUN RUN RUN RUN!!! *shakes pom poms and does a high kick*

    I want to have a pair of running shoes broken in from running! I want to buy running shorts and use them! I want to be able to breathe when I go faster than a one legged turtle! I want to show the love I have for myself by taking care of myself- oh and RUNNING!

    And maybe to be able to jog too. :laugh:

    Because for the first time ever, I want to.

    Because I have been overweight/obese most of my life and it is high time that changed.

    Because I am young enough that I can fix this easily.

    My reasons ~ in no particular order~
    *Growing up without portion consideration has led me here and isn't healthy for my family
    *I despise the way I look
    *I will be 40 this year and I plan to be 40 and fabulous, not 40 and fat.

    To be healthier.
    To hopefully live longer.
    To feel better.
    To have the energy to play with my girls more.
    To be able to hopefully run instead of walk, because last few times I ran ( a while back) my knees hurt terribly. 18 lbs lost and my knees already feel better. Actually going to try to run during my walk today.
    To look better.
    To keep up with my friends. A lot of my friends have started more healthier lifestyles and I don't want to be the slouch sitting on the couch.

    The outside does not match the inside.

    this reason...for me as well my body as it is now doesn't exemplify God's working in my life.

    Main reason is that i don't want to sit the couch for the rest of my life watching TV because i CANT do anything else. I want to go and do and see and experience life.

    1) To be healthy
    2) To be the shape and size that I've always wanted to be; not super skinny, I have curves. I'm 6ft 1 and skinny wouldn't suit my body. I just want to be toned and happy.
    3) So I can no longer feel afraid to wear a bikini/go to the beach in only shorts and a bikini top. that's my wish/
    4) So I can say I lost xx lbs all through healthy eating and exercise. To motivate others.
    5) To finally feel happy in my own skin.

    My reasons to lose are:

    1. To look good for me
    2. To look good for my fiancee
    3. To be able to wear the clothes I want to wear
    4. To look amazing in my wedding dress
    5. To not go to the doctors and come out feeling like the biggest hippo in town
    6. To reach my goal of self-actualization
    7. My future kids
    8. And finally...make my family and fiancee's family choke on the nasty things they say about how look and leave a bad taste in their mouths when I come in the room looking like a star!
