    Here's a vain reason: my mom took family photos at Christmas and I was pissed that I was way fatter than all my sisters! (There are 4 of us, and they are all gorgeous). I had to hide in the back of the pics to disguise my belly. So yeah, I started out competing with my sisters, but now I'm doing it because it makes me feel good, haha. Although the fact that I'm getting married in 2014 and my sisters are my bridesmaids is still a consideration... I WILL look hotter than them in my wedding photos!!!! Hahaha.

    This is us at Christmas, with me hiding on the far left:

    er....bugger....yup, chubby vain or thin vain, I'm vain :(

    But my training is first for functional strength so I can be the best I can be and keep challenging myself,
    it's just a nice side effect to look fitter too :)

    Now where's the mirror LOL

    ps
    I'm over 40 and past it....other peeps may not be, but I collect injuries like they're going out of fashion,
    not like in my 30s, when I'd spring back in days, not weeks!

    To look good naked and not cringe in the mirror.... to be able to wear those clingy dresses without looking frumpy, and without wearing any "control" items underneath to smooth things out as has been suggested to me. Might make you look good in the dress, but when it comes off those things are not sexy lol. And to be fit and healthy so I can be active and have more outdoorsy type fun. I miss that. I used to be such a tomboy as a kid.

    And they are not comfortable either. PLUS, it just moves your fat around. Not pretty

    No.... you're not alone. The others can't answer right now, I expect they're busy posing infront of the mirrors... :bigsmile:

    This is the dress I just ordered... http://www.lightinthebox.com/trumpet-mermaid-halter-floor-length-evening-dress_p245970.html?utm_campaign=cartcross

    I'm here to fit into it... the health and fitness are delightful side effects. Now THAT'S vanity..

    ^ Your dress is gorgeous!! Good luck...I know that you will look smashing in it! :flowerforyou:

    A moment of truth - What is the real (by that I mean vain) reason you are trying to lose weight?

    Mine is to 1) Look like the skinny girl I was in high school at my 20th reunion and 2) to look hot in a bikini again.

    Same for me.





    Apart from the "being a skinny girl" or looking "hot in a bikini". It really is down to vanity and I've accepted this a long time ago. I feel no shame about it, either.

    Ha! I had to check your profile to make sure I understood. So, you want to look hot in a speedo?

    I have reasons other than appearance. Good reasons, and lots of them. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't take out the photo album to look at the skinny pics for motivation at least once a month. Apperance isn't reason #1, but it's definitely on my top ten. It might even be in the top 5.

    Why should we feel ashamed? Looking good is something to be proud of. Those that worry about the sinfulness of vanity are a little to self-loathing for my tastes. I see no need to flog myself for speaking the truth.

    I'm totally in this for the looks, eating healthy is only a side effect.

    My first motivation in Jan 2011 was to look good on the cruise I went on last summer. Now it's to keep on getting hotter.

    Speedos... naked... topless when training... taking a break from washing the car to drink a can of Pepsi... *shrug* :-D

    Interestingly, vanity requires dedication and hard work.

    I'm doing this because I was tired of being fat.. and to make my friends jealous.

    Up until I discovered Alcohol in college, I was a size 6.. left college and I was a size 10 at 180 pounds... and I was fat! I was not happy with what I saw at all... Had a stomach pooch, love handles, the whole 9 yards.

    Fast forward a year, I weigh the same as I did 4 years ago... and back then I was wearing a 10.. and now I wear a 4! I haven't been a 4 since High School.. and It feels amazing! I'm also stronger and tighter... which means I look awesome naked!
