Honest answers only! What is your number one reason for losing weight?

Do you just want to look awesome? Feel healthy? Run a race? Do it for someone else? Find a spouse? Become a model?

Mine is vanity. Just want to look the best I can!

    Mine is mostly for vanity aswell, i want to look sexy!

    Also arthritis and diabetes run in our family, so anything to avoid the effects of those!

    Of course there's the part about wanting to look the best I can. But what finally got me fully committed to taking the weight back off was health reasons.
    I'm on high blood pressure pills, my cholesterol became borderline, I think I'm hypoglycemic and I started getting very tired. And that was the last straw.

    I did not want to be the biggest sister. Now I do it because I feel sexy.

    I was sad after I lost my daughter Star and I just went... running... (ok forest humor was needed to break up that depressing part) then I just kept on going... and really I enjoyed it (working out and eating!) and fact was I was/am fat so it needed to be done

    To finally have someone look at me, and not think that I am just a waste and a lazy person. I want someone to look at me and think that I am as successful as my sisters (former contestants on Americas Got Talent twice, and Paula Abduls Live To Dance).

    And then a smaller part is also for vanity, and that I know I need to get into shape.

    Revenge
    Depression
    Feeling like a fat failure
    Wanting to feel good about myself
    Wanting others to look at me and say "Damn"!
    To look in the mirror and smile and instead of look away real quick
    To start posting pictures of me on Facebook again
    To fit into any clothing besides yoga pants and maternity clothing
    and one that keeps me going.....
    One of the only things in my life I have complete control over. I can control what goes in my mouth and how much I excerise. There is not much else in my life I feel I have that much control over.

    Well at first it was because of my first real fat photo I seen of myself. Made me sick. But then the day I really decided to step up my game was the day I looked in the mirror and screamed at myself "I HATE YOU" and sat on my bed and cried because I hated myself and was feeling sorry for myself. I had to ask myself what crying about it was doing, what feeling sorry for myself was doing to fix it. So I cleaned myself up, took this photo and decided on September 22, 2011 that I was going to fix this. I lost 70lbs when I was pregnant because of Gestational Diabetes and had to for my baby. But when it came time for me to do it for me, I had gained 25.5 of that back so I took this photo of myself and haven't stopped yet. I am 15lbs from my ultimate weight loss goal.

    This photo was my "My life is going to change today" photo. And this is where I am now.

    It started out being to change myself, so I could love myself, working hard on me has made me love myself. It's made me appreciate me. However it's also turned into doing it for my kids, setting an example. Just yesterday my 20 month old daughter got on the ground trying to do her pushup's lol. That just shows me that she sees me and she'll follow my example.

    a small part of it is unhappiness because i know i can't run a mile anymore. most of it is shame and vanity. i looked in a full length mirror naked and cried. that's when i was like, this has got to change.

    I want to become a Mom. I'm already 30 years old, the clock is ticking. Not only do I want to become pregnant; I want to have the healthiest pregnancy, baby and body I can. I want to be a Mom that has the strength and energy to keep my child active and happy. I truly want a happy, healthy family.

    I've always wanted to lose weight but I never stuck to my diet/exercise regime. What finally did it for me was my boyfriend of 5 years said lose weight or we break up (please note that I was the same weight when we first got together, so it's not that I gained massive amount of weight or anything). We ended up breaking up over something else but right now that is what is lightening my fire. I want to look good and throw it back in his face... probably petty but well it hurt what he said.

    After a few months of seeing results though I'm loving this new life style. I still want to shove it in his face but it's definitely not the only thing that is keeping me motivated.
