    1. I want to lose weight for an upcoming special event

    2. I want to lose weight because I think I'll be happier if I'm thinner

    3. I want to lose weight because I'm worth it

    4. I want to lose weight to get healthy and feel energized

    5. I want to lose weight for someone else

    Number 4 and I want to have the confidence Jennifer Anniston had in The BreakUp walking through the living room naked. That's what I want.

    It may sound silly, but I'm 18, going on 19. I want to lose weight so one day when I get married and have a family of my own, I'll not only look and feel good in any wedding dress I choose, but I'll also be able to set a healthy example for my kids :) My future family is my reason.

    I think that 2 and 4 are my main reasons. I've away wanted to be faster than my family and its not about 'losing weight' more about 'gaining muscle mass' b/c the scale doesn't know the difference, you do.

    None of the above.

    I've never been skinny, so thought I might check it out.

    LOVE THIS ANSWER LOL I'e never been thin either lol
    But my answer is 2. I think I'll be happier if I'm not constantly hating the way I look. Vain, I know. I also wanna b healthy too, but the other is the biggest reason
