    So i won't be the chunky-ist person in the room.

    To turn heads again.

    I'm very active outdoors...and it's a struggle to carry a full backpack right now.

    Because even though my husband loves me just as much today, I don't want to feel the need to turn off the lights.

    My dad always says I remind him of Abby. lol. I don't look like her though. But I've always preferred the "gothic" lifestyle and I want to be able to fit back into the cute clothes I used to wear. Plus I just want to feel better physically. Not so much for other people, i want to lose it for me.

    because I want to be the figure I feel my husband deserves to have on his side. He has never once said anything about my weight (weather big or small) but I have this picture in my head of what I want for him and I want to be THAT girl in the picture because by God I have the personality :)

    Because I'm a fat mess and I'm sick of being constantly uncomfortable and embarrassed by my size! Not being able to wear nice clothes and getting out of breath easily!

    I'm disgusted that I've let it go this far :embarassed:

    Gothic i dont think was the appeal but the confidence and light skin dark hair and tattoos especially tattoos we are tattoo lovers so this works for me i will get there eventually

    Although i do want to have impressive fitness and health, I have to admit...that I really honestly want to lose weight to look hot and feel confident, have a body that people are impressed by and to know that when i wear a t-shirt with jeans or clothes in general that i'm not going to have the unsightly tire ruining every photo. Basically to have a body that i don't have to worry about having a fat day, because i wouldn't look fat anyway :P


    Exactly this.

    Honestly, my reasons are very VERY superficial...
    I want to be able to wear the type of clothes I like AND look good in them, and I REALLY want to look as good with clothes as without them!
    Also, I got a little bit tired of being "the fat friend"...there's so much more in me than fat!

    I feel ugly, awkward and uncomfortable and strangers telling me I'm just too fat is a daily occurrence for me. It makes me so sad when strangers tell me I'm blocking doorways and trying on clothes is horrible. My parents are on my back a lot and my mum has been losing weight and I've been losing steadily but not enough apparently. My dad tells me not to bother trying to lose more than 10 kg- and I told him I wasn't born to be fat and he responded with there's no going back now- I'm 25 and I weigh 97kg.

    Lately I've been hitting the sales and buying smaller clothes for next year at like 90% off but the sales assistants make a huge fuss about why I don't want to try it on- I've worked in retail before and it's a common practice to ask the customer if they can put it in the fitting room for them - mostly to reduce theft. I pretty much just laugh at them and make a stupid joke. The thing is I'm not as big as some- I'm an AU 16-18- just one size outside of the usual range found in chainstores here (8-16).

    I want to lose weight because I feel like crap.

    Truly and honestly, I want to lose weight so I can be healthy. I don't feel ugly. I just want to have energy and avoid diabetes if I can.

    Last year I was 25 , and 91kgs. I'm now 73kgs so don't let anyone tell you "there's no going back" :)

    I was more referring to Abby and her style of dress. I love it :)

    I want to lose weight for my career. And so that I will feel more attractive.
    It's been demonstrated that fit people are more successful overall.

    I wanted to loose wt so I didn`t have diabetes,high blood pressure,strokes or heart attack.
    I want to see my grown children get married and have babies.I want to be a part of life and not sit on the sidelines because I was too fat.

    Because I miss the compliments I used to take for granted. I'm far (very very far) from what anyone would consider gorgeous, but once upon a time people just used to compliment me...tell me I was beautiful, stunning, a goddess (okay, that person may have been a little drunk) whatever. And I think, honestly, that my confidence had more to do with it than anything. Right now, that "hold your head high and strut your stuff" confidence is buried under layers of lard. Lucky for me, my husband still thinks I'm beautiful, but I want ME to think I'm beautiful, too.

    The health stuff? Sure. I want (and NEED) to be healthier, but that comes with the territory of losing weight, exercising, etc.

    As Thoreau put it: "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."


    Hard to do when you feel unhealthy.
