    I am doing this for me. I am tried of who I was in the mirror. I want to be fit and toned and not be embarrassed of my body.

    I want my kids growing up knowing that they need to be healthy.

    I dont want to be another statistic in my family with cancer, high blood pressure nor diabetes. I want to be able to fight these and live to see my grandchildren.

    I want to fit back into my old clothes from a couple of years ago - so I want to lose 2 dress sizes. I also want to be healthier - I realised I've been eating so much crap for years and really want to change that! Being healthier is really my biggest reason for this, more so than being slimmer. I only had about 12-15 pounds in total to lose so not lots but somehow it feels really difficult and slow! I've lost 6 pounds in 50 days so far...

    I started for completely different reasons, but now, I just want my body to be sexy. Or at least sexier. :wink:

    To get into that little black dress? To impress that special someone?

    My goal is to join the Air Force one day. I plan on doing ROTC when i get to college (next fall!) and I want to be in shape so i can survive and one day be an officer. I hope to be an interpreter for the AF. :3

    Why are YOU losing weight?

    My inspiration is the Air Force, too :) I'm going enlisted and I leave July 24th!

    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.

    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.

    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.
