    I've never been a vain person so that's not the reason I want to get into shape. I have several medical problems that all point to my being overweight. I am a caregiver for my mother and husband so people depend upon me and being this overweight and out of shape I'm not doing myself or them any good.

    To be able to take care of everyone else I've had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and my rotator cuff repaired - it's harder and takes longer to heal with diabetes so by loosing the weight the diabetes will be under control for good, and by getting in shape I'll be around to take care of everyone else and myself longer.

    A couple of years ago I realized the BMI measure meant I wasn't "overwieght" but actually obese. I remember being upset when I went into a mens store and had to buy my shirts from the big and tall section and I wasn't tall. My blood work was always okay, but it was getting worse each year. I had been able to "hold" my weight at 208 (as if that was a good thing) for many years but I hated seeing pictures of myself. So a little vanity, a little heath and MFP feeds into my enjoyment of measuring things.

    I want to have more confidence. My goal for this summer is to be proud to wear a sleeveless shirt.

    Vanity pure and simple. I want to look hot. I want to wear a bikini. Not sure if I ever would have the confidence to but I want it to be an option. To go in to any store and pick up any item of clothing and be able to try it on. To look good beside my bf and to be the skinniest of my cousins. There I admitted the true reason!!!

    To really make good on a commitment to myself. To show myself some respect. To follow through every day and not back track just because I've been "good enough," but really push myself into my own excellence and see what that feels like. To see how hot, strong, and happy I can be.

    I'm not happy with how I look, simple as that. I was a size 8 about 6 years ago and I want to go back to how I was then!

    I'd like to say it's strictly for health reasons, but that's definitely not the whole truth! I want to be able to shop wherever I want, wear whatever I want and most importantly feel GREAT in it!

    I'm tired of being trapped in this fat body that just isn't me. I feel like a prisoner in this...alternate version of myself. It needs to stop! lol

    Because I have a hot wife and I want to make her drool when I walk in the room. 1,000,000% honest answer.

    I don't want to shy away and cover my butt with a long top for summer. I want to wear a gorgeous bikini when I go to Mauritius.

    I want to live a looooong active life - I want to be that 90 year old who is sky diving and taking ski trips to switzerland! But in my family, the skinny twenties are followed swiftly by the fat forties. I don' t think it's genes - my big Irish family eats like *kitten* and doesn't exercise, ever - I want to start those habits now!
