I see a lot of people talking about how they've lost weight by just cutting calories and not working out. I love to work out, and for me, it feels like a part of a healthier lifestyle. My question is "Why do you work out?" or "Why don't you?"

I work out so I can eat more.
Yeah, yeah... plus the health benefits, relieves stress, tones, builds muscle, etc. But if I'm being honest, it's so I can eat more. Plain and simple.0 -
Haha I'm right there with you. I like to have the cushion in case I have a bad day at some point.0

I love to run.
So I run. And other workouts I do make me run faster. So I do them.
And I eat so I can do the workouts that make me run faster... and then I run.
I run, therefore I run.0 -

^^This! I love it when I'm done, but I hate getting started. I'm starting to love running, so that helps. But my ultimate motivation is so that I can eat more!0 -
Because working out makes me see I am physically trying to change something about myself. I've tried just cutting calories and I eventually got too lazy to care.0

. . . I'm addicted to it now . . .
It's all my trainer's fault!0 -
Because I know it's good for me.
I hate doing it, though. Grrr.0 -

I completely agree. I wanna eat more. The other things, too, and I wanna tone and tighten my skin for the weight I'm losing. But mostly it's so I can have some beers.0 -
I really want abs..0

How do you make yourself do it then? Sheer force of will?0 -
We're supposed to work out?!0

My question is "Why do you work out?" or "Why don't you?"
I do because it burns calories and makes me feel better afterward.....helps with depression immensely!0 -
To get healthy obviously but I ran across this quote some time ago and it really got me motivated.

I work out because I love being fit, getting outside, and moving. Yeah.... I'm a nerd.0

I do cause it helps with stress and unused energy which actually isn't good for me sometimes because it turns me into a grouch0

I like beer and ice cream.
Seriously, like, no other reason. lol0 -
I workout because it feels good. I feel good afterwards. I love toning up and building muscle. I love to sweat!
Gives me more energy too!

To change my body. You can lose weight without exercise, but I like the way a person's body looks when they are fit and toned. I also love the way it makes me feel. Beforehand, sometimes I really, really dread it, but afterwards and throughout the day, it makes me feel great. Picks up my mood, and makes me feel better about my body. Even though I still have lots to lose, I feel more comfortable in my skin when I work out regularly.0

I work out because I love the satisfied exhaustion I feel afterwards. And I love to feel my my muscles tighter and my body firm up. I sleep better and am in a better state of mind when I work out. I like myself more, plain and simple.0

<~~~~ This I have done in one month. All I changed was increase my calories and started working out with weights. I have actually gained weight and turned that into muscle. I also like how I feel after a workout. I have since this week added "The Butt Bible" to my circuit program. believe me it looks easy, but it is an azzkicker and you WILL feel it working!0
