We all have a reason.
is it for an overall heathy lifestyle?
Is it to impress someone ?
Is it for self confidence?
Is it to go out with your friends and finally stand out?
Is it to look good in a bakini /naked?

In my younger days when I wanted to loose a few pounds it was because I wanted to look good in those jeans. I'm 57 yo now and my reasons have definitely changed. Yes I like to look good in my jeans but the overall reason to shed a few lbs now is strictly health reasons.0

At first it was to be healthy. My family has a history of cardiovascular problems even with them not being overweight. But now that I am in the healthy range I just want to look good in a bikinni:)0

Heart disease runs in my family. My blood pressure has been getting higher and higher. So...I want to nip that in the bud before it becomes a danger to my own health.
I can feel that I'm starting to lose some flexibility in my mid-40s. I hate that! I want my flexibility back.
I'm also losing stamina for activity in my mid-40s. I want that back, for sure!
I teach preschool. I never want to be that teacher who has to sit in a chair instead of on the floor with the class. I never want to be that teacher who leans against the fence while the class is running and playing in the playground. I never want to be that teacher who can't hold kids in my lap because it hurts, or who can't lift up a kid to reach something because I'm not strong enough.
All of that.0 -

I want to be an open person. I've led a debilitating, introverted lifestyle for as long as I can remember due to a mixture of anxiety, depression during my youth, addictive behaviors (gambling—which I've kicked, and food—which I'm in the process of kicking), and a compounding negative view of my emotional and physical self. I'm tired of having things to say or share or express to others only to subconsciously set a wall in my own way. I've got a lot of love to give and to show, as a stranger, as family, as a friend, as a lover, and losing weight and doing my best to share my progress and opening up about my struggles is my first step toward that.
Oh and you know—sex.0 -
To be healthier and happier, and to live a happy and long life. I need to get healthy so I can be happy.0
