    In everything I've done, it's always been to improve my strength, improve my skill, improve my fitness levels, improve my understanding, improve my flexibility, improve my endurance, improve my memory, improve my critical thinking, improve my knowledge... however the only reason I signed up to MFP was to improve how I look. It's all very shallow... and I'm actually enjoying the journey.

    First and foremost, to feel better about myself. I don't like looking in the mirror and criticizing.

    I want to get fit b/c I want IT ALL!! :laugh:

    1. Be here for my boys for as long as possible.

    2. I want to be healthy (kind of goes with 1)

    3. I want to throw out my 2 digit size clothes so I will have room in my closets!!

    4. I want to look and feel sexy again so I can do #5.

    5. I want to go out and feel confident and secure!!

    I am sure there are a few more reasons but that is all I got for now. :happy:

    To do a better job loving my beautiful wife with my heart, mind, soul.... AND...body. Over the last few years I think she's been getting a bum deal... I'm working to fix that.

    My reason is this: in my head, I'm still the same person I was in my early 20s. When I look out, those are the eyes I see with. But now when I look in the mirror, I see someone completely different. I want to look in the mirror and see the me that I see in my brain. And she's wearing a size 8. Or a 6. I'm not picky. And the only way you can tell she has kids is because she has them with her; not because she has that "exhausted mom who's let herself go" look.

    I was literally ticked off at myself for treating my body like a garbage can. This was a gift, as was my wife and kids, and I was being selfish, lazy, and pathetic hiding behind "I just love food" ...

    I may not run fast, I may not be some hot guy at the gym, but I'm healthy ... I may get hit by a truck crossing the road, but I won't let myself go because I ate myself to death.

    *clears throat* ... ok ... back to work.

    I've always been bigger, and it's taken a number on my confidence. I feel too scared to do anything because of my weight, and I don't want to use it as an excuse anymore. Plus, I don't want to waste my 20's hiding my body, trying to avoid the world because I don't want to be judged by my weight. Basically, I want confidence! (Plus...all the plus-sized clothes are terrible, and the smaller clothes that I can actually fit into just make me look like a stuffed, jiggly jean-and-shirt sausage. :/)

    I don't want my kids to have "the fat mom" growing up. I want to be a healthy and active presence in their lives, especially while they are still young.

    Because I want to live.

    Run, swim, jump, dig, glide, and make my body do what it was meant to do.

    Does this tell you anything? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/651264-lose-weight-to-be-healthy-f-no-i-want-to-be-hawt

    Yup...

    However, I think being hot is all about being fit... not skinny and I don't want to get to a point where I really find myself attractive only to lose my health because I didn't do it right...

    So I'm not "the big girl" when I'm with my friends anymore. So I can run a 10k. To build confidence. So I have a good, heatlhy body image that I can pass on to my kids so they start out with good habits, and good health from the get go. :)

    I want to be fit because I love being strong. It makes me feel like the beast that I know I am. I don't want my kids, especially my daughters to go thru the crap that I went thru when I was a kid.

    It's a tie between wanting to look super hot and also pushing myself to find out what I'm truly capable of.
