    I am on the same page as the OP. I am sick of looking in the mirror and seeing bleh! I want to be my former slim self, just a lot healthier and fitter this time. Pure vanity! I will NOT grow old gracefully or quietly! LOL

    So I can fit in my husband's suitcase during plane trips and not have to pay for a second seat.

    Yess!

    My most honest reason?
    Well, I'm cornered by many family members with diabetes. Both grandmothers, my aunt & my mother all have/had diabetes. I fear if I keep on the unhealthy path, that I will get it, too. Also trying to combat the potential high blood pressure that looms on my father's side of the family. Working out keeps my stress pretty low & as always is great for the heart, which helps prevent HBP.

    But... aside from health reasons, a potentially-special someone in the Navy is currently deployed & gets back in November. Welcoming him home with a nice, happy & fit me would be a really nice return surprise, I think. ;D Just to give me that extra boost of motivation... you know.

    I'm so shallow. my number one reason to lose weight is not to be healthy. Thinking about it, the main reason is to look good and rock dresses.

    Health for starters...I had high blood pressure and my heart was beating hard with all that weight. However...I also wanted to get my sexy back. I had lost "me" with the kids, the weight and I was tired of being depressed about it. Wanted to do something about it!

    1) Future health
    2) To feel good about myself
    3) To look good in what I wear

    I've become more of a hermit since I've gained the weight. I don't want to go out as often, and I don't like getting pictures taken of me. This from someone who loved to do both. So, time for the weight to be gone.

    I feel I should be a more effective as a human being. being fat makes me feel like a waste to society. Basically if I can't control my own health and weight, then how can I control my finances and achievements. Don't see being successfull in one thing and not the other.

    And outrunning zombies of course.

    Mainly health. My family has a long history of heart disease, strokes and diabetes at quite young ages.
    I'm thinking that if I don't get fit and don't eat healthy food, I will go down the same road.

    I need to get off some of my medications!!!

    you and I both. I've been on diabetes and cholesterol medicines for over 10 years and when you're like me and have to take 2 meds for 1 thing and 3 for another, something has got to be done.

    Vanity mainly, but also health. I am sick of eating terribly and not being fit enough. I want to have abs etc so I am aware of them and aware that I worked hard to get them. Also moving to a new city in February, I want to make the best first impression I can. :)

    my reasons? first and most important my grandmother. I've seen what being overweight has done to her and i don't want to live to be like that. And I had my hips broken as a baby so too much weight is bad for them.
    I am happy and I want to be healthy.

    And in Croatia it's impossible to find normal clothes above sizes 42/44 :)

    Mine comes in 2 parts. 1st part is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight which leads to part 2 which is to have another baby. We have been trying for 16 months now and because I have PCOS makes conceiving very hard. First area to help conceiving is LOSE weight and I know I can fall pregnant so if I can get back to that weight I have better odds

    - I can't find outfit my size, and sometimes have to buy jeans at Men's department instead.
    - Many started to comment about how I am fat in a direct way. It used to be "Nah, she is just a bit chubby/ a bit overweight." Now it is "Yes, she is. (fat)."
    -I have always weight more than everyone else, more than my sister, a grown man, everyone in my cycles.

    Mostly because I'm being told to and honestly now I know the reason I've been having a fair amount of pain I can't really justify not losing the weight but I'm with you on the zombies ! (My OH has a t-shirt saying 'I love you but if zombies chase us , I'm tripping you up')

    My #1 biggest reason. Is vanity I guess. I'm a writer and eventually I will be in a position people will want to take pictures. Even if it's only on the back dust cover of a book. So I don't want to look like a whale for everyone to see.

    Also I don't want to be my mother, napping half the day, ending up with diabetes and never having the will power to take care of myself.

    I want to look good in my clothes (and out of them :wink:)...I don't want to have to start buying the next size up, that's the start of a slippery slope.

    I'm hoping to start a family soon, I don't want to be piling 30lb of baby weight on top of 30lb of overweight.

    I want to teach myself to love exercise and to be good at it. I want to know I am doing everything I can to keep my body and mind in the best state it can be in as I get older.
