I need to lose weight because of health concerns. I don't want to contract diabetes, suffer a stroke or a heart attack. I am really worried about all these so I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT AND I NEED SOME HELP.0

Honestly its for me! But I'm hoping it helps my marriage also!0

I was to be stronger and LOOK stronger(with less of a fat layer) and I want to be a great example to my daughter and feel good regardless what I'm wearing .. or not wearing! : )0

Health reasons. Had high blood glucose readings back in May due to long-term complications from acute pancreatitus. Started exercising, lost two inches off my waist and about six pounds. Glucose levels are averaging around 120 now. Hoping this will help me avoid insulin injections.
Good luck with your efforts. :happy:0 -
I want to smile more. My husband said that when I was thinner, I smiled more. The comment made me cry and woke
me up at the same time.
I want to be here to see my girls grow up.
I would love to go shopping and have fun. Right now, it's complete torture to buy clothes for myself.
I want to know what sexy feels like.
I want to be healthier... stop snoring, lose the heartburn, be able to walk up stairs with no pain, etc.
AND... I'm supposed to be a bridesmaid at the end of April and I don't want to be the
only fat bridesmaid. Both my Sister's are a size 0!!0 -
my honest reason: i am not a victim. but i've telling myself way too long that's it's okay to be one.0

To make life easier. Every single aspect of life requires less effort when you're fit, that's all there is to it. From how you move to what you buy to what you can accomplish with far less effort, to how others look at you, to how you view yourself (which is most important of all..
Whoever said "it never gets easier, you just go faster" never experienced a weight issue. Simple as that0 -
My knees hurt and I want to FIT in an airline seat without spilling over onto whomever is beside me.0

to be honest not sure. I would like to think it will help with increasing my mental functions(get smarter,more creative, etc), reduce depression, and increase confidence. At one point I tried to convince myself I'll have more sex if I do. But that extremely most likely indefinitely won't happen. I will still be boring:laugh:0

Mostly my EDNOS makes me competitive with my friends[if i know they're on a diet] and its bugs me so much that i NEED and WANT to beat them, be the thinnest, fittest, fastest, not the failure. But also just being able to pick up a size 4/6 of a rack and know it will fit!
Meeeep, me too. Hello there.0 -
My father had so many health problems from being close to 300 lbs. I watched him suffer my entire childhood as he struggled with compulsive eating, and worried about keeping his job because he never felt well. I worried about him every day growing up and worried that it would be a genetic battle for me as well. At 65 his heart stopped. That is my reason for losing weight.0

Vanity and health.0

I'm literally terrified of ending up like my mom's side of the family...overweight and hobbling when they walk.
and my family is very weight conscious...it's always the first thing they notice and have always noticed about me. f-tards.0 -

I mean, isn't it kind of depressing when you realize that--maybe not--I'm more apathetic. But I could have huge arms and a six pack, and I'll still be weird as hell.0 -
Because no one respects the fat chick.0

I want to live.0

All I want is flat abs! I could have the biggest butt and thighs but as long as my abs are flat I'm cool:)0

Was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high triglycerides. All of these was a direct result of my high weight, with the possible exception of high triglycerides because my mom's family has it. That and having emergency ventral hernia repair that was caused by my weight.
Edit: All of this before 40.0 -
I don't want to feel bad about my weight and I want to be able to buy clothing that I like.0
-
Vanity. Lol, but also health, changing our family lifestyle, want my boys to be healthy.0
-
To set the best example for my kids that I can......to feel good about myself.............and most of all to feel strong!0

So I could enjoy our trip to Europe last fall but kept going once we got home.0

At the beginning of 2011, I weighed around 203. I didn't like the way I felt and said I never would weigh that much. So, I started going to spinning and body pump classes. Since then, I weigh around 185-187 lbs. I would like to lose another 10 lbs, though. I can say though aside from the weight, I also lost inches and went down 2 pant sizes (depending on the store, lol).0

I hate the way I look in pictures and next year I will be going to Europe with my boyfriend (hopefully will leave with a fiance and I wanna look amazing in the pictures plus I don't wanna be that fat bride in a bikini....because we will be eloping in Fiji. I wanna also feel good about myself which I haven't done in a long time0

third to the ones I have posted, I want to feel less fat and ugly.... and more... fit and .... ether muscly or thin.0

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.
Similar to what this gal wrote, except I'm on 2 meds for BP, 2 meds for cholesterol/lipids and was just dx'd with DM2, and that dx was my last straw. I'd like to reduce or get rid of the meds I take. So my HONEST answer is for health reasons. Truly could care less about looking hot or sexy but I would like to not be fat/obese.0 -
Get back into my cool clothes.0
