    "What is your HONEST reason for losing weight??????"

    I've got a 21 month old daughter and another baby due in November - it's simple, I want to be able to run around after them and play, be a healthy dad and instill a healthy lifestyle in them. From a truly selfish perspective though, I want to know what it's like to be slim - I never have been. :O)

    So that I don't drink ever again...I started this journey after going to jail for a DUI. I drank heavily for several years. I drank to be fun, social, the life of the party. I drank to forget, to remember, to feel sorry for myself, to feel confident... Drinking made me hungry and hung over so I ate and I gained over 60 lbs. I was embarrassed with how fat I was, so I drank to feel better about it. When I woke up in jail for the second time in 3 years, I wanted to die. I knew what my life had become, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. So I began to work out, really as a punishment for years of neglect. Then after awhile I beganto get all those things out of exercise that I got from drinking and more. I felt good, I wasn't bloated and yellow, I had energy... 60 lbs and a whole new life later I am so full of hope. That is what losing weight and starting this journey has given me- hope.

    well done!
    Be very proud of yourself, you've achieved that by yourself!!
    Good luck with future i wish you all the best....
    take care

    I'm tired of being the token fat girl at glamour parties! And I want to buy clothes from the normal-people shops during sale season (yup, motivations are shallow AND cheap).

    Living longer, being healthier etc are secondary motivations. Or public reasons when people challenge me about "why-don't-you-having-another-xyz-from-the-buffet-table?" (I hate that! And partygoers who press extra alcohol on you in the mistaken belief that you want to "loosen-up-a-bit-go-on-have-fun".) /RANT

    ok... :) I'm all good now

    I want to be skinny. Shrink my stomach, thighs, arms, busy, you name it. It's all I've ever wanted and I might as well do it now while my young person metabolism complies.

    i sent off an army application... i blitzed the aptitude test and looking down the barrel of Duntroon (Australia's equivalent of West Point).... nothing else in the past has motivated me as much as this opportunity!

    I want to be comfortable enough to walk around naked, to pose naked for my artist girlfriend.
    I also wouldn't mind showing off a nice *kitten* in some tight yoga pants. Yoga pants are my motivation. /sigh

    1- Tired of being morbidly obese.
    2- Want to buy clothing at regular clothing stores instead of specialty shops.
    3- Want to hurt less. Being fat so long has not been kind to my feet and knees.
    4- Want to actually be "date-able" for once in my life.
    5- Want to avoid diabetes for as long as I can.

    I was too poor to buy new clothes, and I couldn't button my pants.

    To live as long as I possibly can. There's no way I could ever envision being an old man in my 80s when I was around 300 pounds. Now down to around 240 and still have a ways to go until I can truly call myself healthy again.

    I hate my "wobbly bits". I feel uncomfortable if my clothes are the SLIGHTEST bit too tight.

    I have more confidence when I am comfortable in my own skin. I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my blood sugars compared to when I am less active.
