Mine:

1. To show my ex's that they missed out on more than they think.

2. To make the ones who bullied me all through school see that I accomplished more than they could imagine.

3. To know I always put myself first.

    I don't know that these are necessarily not general, but I don't see anyone else posting them.

    1: To be able to keep up with my kids when I have them.
    2: To fit in my wedding dress (number priority atm)
    3: To be the needle in the haystack (it's hard to find a fit/healthy person in the area I live in.)

    1. To be able to fit into my smaller clothing that's been sitting in the closet for years. I want to get back down to my highshool weight/body again.

    2. So I feel better about myself. I want people to look at me and notice how hard I've worked to achieve my goals. Theres something about people who care about health/how they look that I find is extremely attractive.

    3. & of course for the ex. He's missin out! :p

    If there were a #4 it would be to achieve a 6 pack! That would be awesome!

    -To look as good as I can while I can still classify myself as young. I still have a few years left....when Im done Ill have a make-over and take pictures in clothes that I don't feel that I could worn previously.

    -For health reasons (I had a back injury last year and overweight only helps deteriorate it faster )
    -And emotional reasons as well- long story short : I don't ever want other people to be able to point at me and feel better about themselves at my expense ever again .

    So I can have a sex life again, dont really have one anymore since I gained so much weight.

    So people look at me and think WOW, she has an amazing figure! I want to get fit and look as good as her!

    I have an ugly face so having a good body would make me half decent.

    1. To feel comfortable in my skin. I really want to feel sexy again.

    2. To not be embarrassed to go shopping with my friends because I wear a bigger size then them.

    3. For my kids. I don't want them to ever be embarrassed of me because I'm overweight. And I want to show them a healthy lifestyle so that they are in shape and don't ever have to worry about being fat like I have stressed about so much in my life.

    1) To prove to myself that I really do have the power to change my own life.
    2) Two words: Kama Sutra
    3) So my children will never have to be embarrassed about how their mom looks. If they are going to be embarrassed, I would rather it be due to me showing their prom dates naked baby photos. ;)

    1. I'm tired of finishing a marathon or half-marathon and being too big for the largest women's "finisher" shirts
    2. I hate how people are surprised how fit I am (fit test, races, warrior dash) because I don't "look" it
    3. A friend pointed this out to me the other day, and I insisted it wasn't true... but upon further thought I think she's right: I like the big 'n' tall guys... and they always seem to end up with thin women so there's a little part of me that hopes losing the size will help me attract the kind of mate I want.

    1. So that my children will grow up in a healthy, fit home, and become healthy, fit adults.

    2. Because I'm starting to see all the morbidly obese family members deal with major health issues, and that terrifies me. I don't want to be in their shoes.

    3. And because I want to be as beautiful on the outside as I feel and my husband deserves.

    and a bonus 4. Because I want to be able to ride a rollercoaster again!

    I love this response, I think the first one should be just to be healthier overall, but don't hold it against me for voicing my opinion. Don't ever let anyone tell you it cannot be done. This is an awesome attitude to have towards this.

    By the way, I am not trying to lose weight anymore because I just lost about 37 pounds and I am trying to actually gain some lean muscle.

    1. Feel confident and happy about my body.

    2. So I can live to be 90+ like my grandparents.

    3. Be known as someone who's fit and healthy - I don't just want to lose weight, I want to be in shape.
