    The thing that kick started my weight loss, in all honestly was having my daughter and realizing I want to be as healthy as possible for her, and also I went to six flags not even a month after giving birth, so I had some extra weight on me, and I got on all of the rollercoasters, and then after eating something really unhealthy, I was bloated, and the seatbelt JUST didn't fit, and the employee made a really rude comment about sucking it in. I refused to suck it in so I got off and was really upset. That's when I got really serious and lost almost 20 pounds since then, because with my father dying I got a little off track, not eating at all a few days then non stop eating. :/

    I was to lose weight for me. I've spent my entire life overweight. My weight problems didn't stem from my own actions but rather by the action (or inaction) of my mother who thought that mcdonalds etc was a perfectly appropriate meal for every meal.

    At my heaviest, I weighed 240lbs and the biggest size I have ever worn was a size 23. Now, I am down to a size 9/10 and I weigh 152.

    I want to lose weight primarily because I want to feel better. I want to feel better about myself and I want to be healthier. I got tired of people refusing to look at the real me because of all the extra flubber that I was carrying around. It wasn't fair to myself.

    I've had many issues with my weight with people calling me names and making fun of me. Some of it has greatly impacted my life in a negative way. I don't want to open myself up to this any longer.


    My ultimate goal is to lose my belly fat and keep it off. I'd love to be able to rock a bikini, just for the fact that I could say that I could. I want to feel in control and attractive. This is my motivation.

    When I had weight to lose I wanted to lose because my blood pressure was high and I hated the way I looked in any clothes. It hurt to sit down because everything was getting so tight!

    To be 100% honest.. I want to lose weight to find a husband!!! I know looks aren't everything but that's what attracts people to you in the first place so I want to be more confident and feel as pretty on the outside as I am on the inside.

    Thanks for sharing this! I had a very similar moment where I saw a photo of myself and went WOW! i don't want to be that girl anymore.

    The other reason I want to lose weight is that I want to look hot in a bikini. All my girlfriends are thinner than me and I'm very self conscious in a two piece. I used to feel skinny, and was more confident 30lbs ago. Time to feel good about myself again!

    Your welcome
    I just really felt like he loves my body but i dont thats not fair i want to be attractive too i want him to see a movie star in me too tattoos and all

    Plus i was mortified that i just bought a size 20 in jeans thats sickening im only 5'1

    I've gotten to the point where my health is good. So I guess it's all about vanity at this point. And performance; run faster, lift more, do more pullups, etc.

    I just want to wear clothing and not worry if I am muffin topping. I want to put anything on and know i'm looking good. For me and my husband.

    What is the reason you honestly want to lose weight!? Everyone says they want to be healthy and because they want to have confidence and all that stuff! Yes I want to be healthy and have self confidence, but I really want to lose weight because of all the people that called me fat or a cow (like I don't all ready know) and whatever else rude things they said to me! I want to lose weight and look HOT and just rock it! I want my body to say look at me now and look at what you can't have! I want to make them regret everything they ever said!

    What about you?
    Validitiy (I have to at least look fit) and vanity if I'm being honest.

    For the sake of my health. I am young and for ALLL of my life, Elementary, Middle and now through high school (JR.) I have been overweight and I am just tired of it. I want to get my health together before I am in my twenties and 200+ lbs. Plus my family has a history of diabetes, high blood preasure, high cholestorol and I DO NOT want to be another statisitc.

    I want to lose weight as I love it when you've finally reached the weight that you are comfortable in your own skin, and I have a habit of staying extra long in my dressing gown, just because I feel uncomfortable in any clothes I wear, but once you are down to where you want to be, it's great. I'm about half way to wear I'm headed, and most of the time now (summer here and it can be quite hot) I actually get dressed rather early, and for me that's progress!!

    I am getting married. I was in a serious relationship once before and was left for a skinnier girl. That crushed me more than I can say. I know that my fiance will NEVER leave me, but on my end I want to make sure that NEVER happens again. And yes, my fiance is inifinately more awesome!

    I want to loose weight for vanity reasons only,to be 100% honest the health thing is just a side effect of that
    Agreed. I'm totally narcissistic and vain. I'm doing this so I'll be happy with what I see in the mirror. The health part is a side effect.

    Because I feel so terrible, fat and ugly inside, right now.

    I'm full of energy (which is why I started a group on MFP) but it doesn't translate to what I'm physically doing.

    Trying to change that in a big way before it's "too late."
