    Because I'm sick of being fat. And I haven't worn a pair of shorts in at least a decade because my thighs are so chubby.

    Zombies prefer fatty cuts of meat

    ^^ THIS!! And when the zombies come, I don't have to be the fastest, I just have to outrun the slow pokes. It also makes it easier to hide under cars and anyone who watches The Walking Dead KNOWS that under a car is the best place to hide. Zombies can't smell you under cars.

    Exactly, there are 2 ways to "skin this cat"...

    I recommend learning to make awesome cheesecakes for them...
  • Because i look better, i feel better and i dont want them having to chop my body parts off to fit me in a coffin when im old!!! I saw that on tv and if families cant afford the big people coffins then the undertakers are allowed to remove arms and legs to get the bodies in :noway: :noway: SCARY!!

    To be healthy, to never have to buy jean sizes with 2 numbers again, to have more energy, because I'm nicer to be around when I'm exercising, and...to look better naked!!!

    Because my clinical depression gets worse when I don't feel attractive. Plain and simple. I give tons of reasons why - I want to be healthy for my daughter, In don't want to look like my mother, I don't want to get the family legacy of type 2 diabetes, I need to stay active so I don't wind up in a wheelchair from my Cerebral palsy. But you know what? When it comes right down to it, I'm here because every single dang summer I get suicidally depressed because I don't look as good as I did when I was 22. This time, even if I don't look like that, I'm going to know I worked my butt off and feel good in my own skin!

    I started because I didn't want to let myself go. Now I keep going because I love my results and I love all the new NSV like becoming more flexible, getting stronger, more energy, etc.

    I want to be healthy. Both of my parents and both of my Grandmother's are diabetic. Dad had a heart attack when he was in his early 50's. It was light, but still. I have arthritis and was so tired of barely being able to walk. I want to RUN. I want to be able to JUMP! I want to be able to garden my butt off and make my yard beautiful! Mostly, I just want to be able to live my life and not have to worry about being in constant pain. If I end up a bit better looking for dropping a couple hundred pounds, more power to me :wink:

    I'm glad we're friends! HI

    I show horses. Show clothes aren't flattering. Western's even worse than English.

    I've always been squishy, and I'm tired of it. I pretty much put 100% into everything and my body shouldn't be an exception.

    I'm probably getting married in the next couple years, having kids in the next 5 or so and want to look really really good first.

    More short term, spring break is coming up. And boyfriend is not quite 10 lbs heavier than me and we're almost the same height. Must. Widen. Gap.

    Oh and two of my grandparents died of brain cancer, which is terrifying, and being healthy decreases that risk.

    Because Nov 22nd Catching Fire is released in theaters and I'm going to the midnight showing dressed up as Katniss.

    Not kidding.

    I so want to do that now.
  • For my health. (Ignore my screen name).

    For my family. To be the best me I can be.

    To be a good steward to the body God blessed me with.

    To overcome an addiction to binge eating.

    Um, so I'm not fat. And so I don't die from being so fat.

    This too for me. Especially the sticky shirt one.

    Anybody else do sumo squats to stretch their jeans before leaving the house? Lol

    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.

    I think you're inside my mind!
    Seriously though my reason is basically the same. I was thin just 3 short years ago and I remember feeling so confident and just ALIVE and now I try my hardest to keep from being noticed. I avoid social situations and things that I used to love to do because I feel embarrased about the weight I've gained.

    Lots of reasons...

    - In the summer when I have extra weight on I feel AWFUL.
    - like to fit in clothes

    and more...
  • I started because I was bored and lost 97 pounds last year and so far 6 this year. It went from me being bored to me feeling as though I have something to prove with myself. I'm Bipolar and medications for Bipolar disorder tend to make people gain weight. A lot of weight. I'm not going to be another overweight statistic because of medication. I need the medication and I need to be healthy and I refuse to choose between the two.
