    To not be fat.
    To not have to buy fat people clothes.
    To not be one of those people that has to use a motorized cart to get around.
    To get back at everyone who said I was fat.
    To make my family proud.
    To make myself proud.
    To get the kind I guy I want and deserve.
    To say I actually did something meaningful.

    If you have to lose weight to get the right guy, he doesnt deserve you! D=
    But, yea, it does help getting them to notice xD

    ^^That is true but come on... let's be real. Attraction is almost always physical and if we can make ourselves look better, we can attract better quality.

    You are right. Its usually physical attraction that draws people in...Its afterwards they get to learn the type of person we are.

    For me it's more of a health thing, I didn't become a father (at least that I know of) until I was almost 40 and I want to be around to dance at my daughter's wedding (she's only 14 so it will be a few years....) and be a healthy, active grandfather when the time comes.

    Love this ^ ^ ^ ^

    I love all your reasons but you should change the order.. Making yourself proud should be #1!!!! Keep up the good work.. You are doing this for you and no one else... That is the best reason!!!!

    Because for once in my life i don't want to be stared at, laughed at, picked on or talked under the breath because I'm fat. I have been big since I was little... like 3-4 little. I remember even in K & 1st grade being one of the largest kids in class.

    I'm tired of being picked on, bullied and tormented for being alive.

    Back pain keeps me from doing the things I want. Unfortunately, it also hinders my efforts in losing the weight as far as exercise goes. I am walking further and faster than I used to and I plan on pushing through it till I get there.

    First of all, for my health. I am way over what I should way for my height. I know I'm not healthy.
    I don't like how I look. I hate trying on clothes because I don't like how anything looks on me. I'm embarrassed how I look- especially in photos!
    I also KNOW that I can do it! I did it before 12 years ago. I know how it feels to be thin and in shape and I want to feel that way again!

    Because I don't know who the fat person is. I know that I don't want to be her. I don't want to ever hear "the fat girl" being used as an adjective to describe me.

    cuz i wanna look gooooood naked for my hubby, and so I don't cringe every time i look in the mirror. And so when we go out people look at my husband with envy, or at least not with pity. I don't want to be that fat frumpy wife that i see so often.

    I know how you feel! My husband still tells me I'm hot and sexy (I don't see it though! lol) but I still want to actually look it!!

    I want to be confident with my body, I want to prove to myself that I didn't just wallow in fat and self pity letting it get worse year on year but I changed it through hard work.
    I want to be a good role model for my beautiful children so that they learn to eat and exercise healthily the easy way and not the hard way.
    I want to make my family and friends proud of me for this, though I know they're proud for other reasons.
    I will do it, it's just a matter of time.

    After a prolonged illness I put on over five stone which affected my health and esteem in the end my young daughter suddenly made me realise that I had to do something about it ,she was embarrased by my weight and would go out with me anywhere with me.
    I decided to do something about it,by chance I come across this fab site and wow how my life has changed,having only started about 15 days ago i have lost 13 lbs,so it does work im doing it for me and most off all my daughter.Kim.x

    Because the last few pictures I saw of myself made me realize how big I had gotten.

    Fitting into all my old skinny clothes is cheaper than buying a new fat clothes wardrobe.

    To feel better and be more active

    To avoid heath problems as I approach the big 4-0

    To set a good example for my kids

    I had four weddings to attend over a six month period, including my older sister's on a beach in Aruba. I was sick of trying to find dresses that fit me and sick of the size I was wearing and new I'd never be comfortable on a beach at 215 pounds, let alone at any of the other 3 weddings.

    Girl that is so tough! Good on ya for keeping on. And for surviving the stress of four weddings!

    I am losing weight so I can enlist in the Army. It has been my goal to join the military, but when I was with my ex-husband he would not allow me to. Needless to say 2 kids later, and I have weight to work off, but its well worth it. I have lost 27lbs so far, a third of what I need to lose to enlist. If you want to be friends you can add me. :)

    I don't have any pictures of me on the fridge

    I lost 50 pounds 5 years ago, and kept them off, time to get rid of the rest

    Two months ago I had signs of arthritis and could hardly walk up stairs and I got very scared (in fact it was not arthritis - just some odd thing)
