    I'm doing it to keep my fiances eye :wink:

    he says he loves me as is and for the most part I believe him, but at the same time I know if I don't start losing I'll gain, gain, and gain and he'll end up grossed out lol

    I'm not going to lie, being eye catching isn't my main reason, but I'd like to get some again sometime in the future, and not being eye catching makes that difficult! So yeah, it's a reason. Not the reason, but a reason.

    Partially for me, partially because my woman deserves me becoming ripped, bronzed demi god.

    To be honest, I started doing it to keep my boyfriend happy (he's in awesome shape!), but then I realized that he's really not worth my time and if "fat me" couldn't keep him happy than "in shape me" doesn't even want him! :drinker:

    I don't have anyone in particular, but I'm sure it will help out a lot when it comes to finding the right girl.

    Do we? I assumed it was 90% people who didnt want to die young and from most of the people's bio's there's usually an element of not leaving their kids before time.

    I am doing it for me, and for my kids. I havent even considered the effect on snagging a female :)

    Sure! My b/f has always loved me no matter my size but to be thin for him would be even better. Especially since he himself is thin.

    Doing it for myself. I love the way I feel after a good workout. I just love being in shape and feeling my best.

    Oh, definitely. I loved it when I was more fit. I loved my body, and I felt HOT. I had guys chasing me down the street, asking me out (seriously). I know there are some great legs under all of this, still, as well as a tiny waist and a fantastic bum. I am definitely at the point in my life, as I'm approaching 30, where I want to settle down and have a family. I do not want to find a fat guy to have fat children with and live a fat lifestyle for my remaining years, I think I'd be miserable. I don't expect to attract the type of person I aspire to be as I currently am, so it's time to become the "real me" and get back in the game.

    Sure, part of why I'm getting fit is to keep my husband's eye. He married me when I was in shape and I'm sure he had no idea I would pork up to way over 200 pounds the way I did. He has been kind about my weight gain and our intimate life has not suffered, but I know he does not like fat or is attracted to fat women...He is attracted to me for me, which is awesome, and it's great to be loved for yourself. Knowing this I also know that my husband is also THRILLED that I am knocking the weight off LOL.

    I really don't think I will be all that attractive even when I lose all the weight, especially since I will have extra skin around my stomach, arms, and such, even with weight training. I doubt anyone will be attracted to me, but if they are, that will be a plus. I am doing this more for my health and to be around for my son as he grows up.

    I started off doing it for my husband, I knew he didn't find me attractive anymore, but now it's all for me.

    I'm doing this for health reasons as I have made myself physically sick by being over weight and for some reason there are those out there that want me to live a "long healthy" life so whats a guy to do. With that said there are lots of benefits that comes along with this from respect of others to yes getting those 2nd and 3rd looks from someone that you might also find attractive. I won't lie its a nice feeling that helps push and support my drive when I find myself lacking the motivation to push forth.

    Really? Most people I come across are doing it because they want to live a healthy life. Men are the last thing on my mind, that's for sure.

    Gosh, I guess when I think about it, it's a little different.

    I want my husband to think I'm hot. That goes without saying.

    But I also want it for work. I'm kind of self-employed and sales at the same time, and I want to rock some business casual clothes and look GOOD. I want people to see my business card and think "She looks confident, I want to hire her".... and I want to be confident when we meet face to face.
