WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT???

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.

So I can stop crying when I look in the mirror, and to not be the fattest of my friends when we get together...

no more crying! and get fatter friends! then you can be their inspiration too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

I recommend learning to make awesome cheesecakes for them...

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'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 vagina

lmao!!!!

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.

To join the military. yay

-to fit back into a size 4.

-to not worry about my shirts sticking to my stomach rolls

-confidence

This too for me. Especially the sticky shirt one.

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

I WANT TO BE THE HOTTEST PIECE OF ASZ IN WALMART, ALWAYS.

something to aspire to, forsure.

was sick and tired of being sick and tired!

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.

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.

I want to play with my 11 grandchildren and climb trees with them I want them to grow up knowing me and I want to be healthy
