    Because, when I was of normal weight, or very close (185), I looked pretty good. I didn't get there in the best way. This time, it's all nutrition and healthy active lifestyle that is getting me the results. I, like you, want to be the hottest person in a room. When I walk in, I want people to be breaking their neck because they can't take their eyes off me. There are some other people in my life, I wouldn't mind running into again, looking all hot stuff. I know that when you care about yourself, others recognize the mindset,and are attracted to that as well. The looks come from that positive mindset, dedication, and hard work.

    I AGREE!!! my 5 years high school reunion is next year, and this bitc is going NOWHERE near that school looking like a hippo after being a size 1 during those wonder years.

    so that i can finally rock my stiletto collection ;-)
  • I want to stop wasting so much time trying to get dressed in the morning - it is a horrible way to start my day...not fitting into my clothes! Too many melt downs in he morning! Also want to look just decent in tennis clothes! Tennis is my favorite thing to do but I don't play as much as I want to because of the tight fitting athletic clothes, short skirts etc. sucks to be the fat girl on the court...I know that's stupid but it is what it is!

    To be a happier and healthier, to be able to wear a bikini and feel happy.
    I would LOVE to wear shorts.
    But mainly for my wedding dress

    I remember being a "me" that I loved and respected. My life was vividly real. The weight that I have slowly gained in the last 15 years has numbed me to life itself. I have become numb to more than just tastes and sounds and muscles, etc. I have become numb to the joys that life is supposed to be. My life is limited because my weight acts like a prison.

    So I am not trying to lose weight. I am trying to gain a life worthy of "ME".

    Thanks for asking, by the way. I needed to hear myself think that.
  • ....because I've had enough of being skinny fat or just skinny which is pretty unattractive. This is the year of fitness and definition! With the help of MFP and Insanity my abs, biceps, triceps, quads, calves and all those other goodies are getting easier to see! 24 days of Insanity so far, and loving it!

    Why I started: Avoid diabetes, cancer, and seeing the scale hit 188
    Why I kept going: Feel wonderful. Look fantastic. My students compliment me. Great looks from guys. And I'm in my 50's.

    My motivation is 100% for my wife and kids.

    I want to be healthy, set a good example for my daughter who is actually a really healthy eater, fit in all of my clothes again, get a skinny shopping spree when I lose a good amount, look as good as I did when my hubby and I got together and get healthy enough to have another baby!

    So many reasons!
  • Because I feel uncomfortable being this size and
    I ache all over especially my knees & lower back.

    Had a massive heart attack in September of 2011. Only 43 years old and almost died. It was quite an eye opener and I completely changed my lifestyle. Lost 50 lbs since then. God blessed me with a second chance in this life and I plan to make the most of it for myself and my family.

    They say there's a skinny person just wanting to get out...

    Not me... under this squishiness are muscles begging to be shown to the world.

    I just want to look as strong as I feel.
