    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.
