    Originally it was to get back at my ex by looking hot as hell, I've moved on and got over that (thank god). Now my reason is I want to be a tank! =D

    I have two reasons tied up to one: 1. I'm 21 and my gynecologist told me to lose weight so I'd have a better chance at having children someday and having easier pregnancies 2. Currently I look like I'm pregnant, especially when wearing anything remotely tight (=non-sack), and I don't want to look pregnant until I actually am.

    Oh, and the fact that I'm up to the largest jeans size at regular stores and I just don't want to go for the "big is beautiful"-sizes. I think it's awesome that bigger chains are doing those lines for larger people, but I just don't want to go there. Besides, my two favourite stores don't have them.

    Health, to look good and to have a more enjoyable time shopping for clothes. Buying bras right now is hell, so is wearing them. haha

    Health is the main reason but I also want to be able to buy cute clothes.

    Partly to be a good example to my kids; partly to just be more active overall. I'm sure there's a small part vanity (just want to look better) in there somewhere

    Also, because its just dawned on me that I actually do want to be around and healthy in twenty years - so I guess its time to start now.

    Oops - that's four reasons. Who am I kidding - main reason - shallow vanity!!

    Short term: bikini ready by summer, more energy by eating/drinking clean
    Long term: fit enough to hike longer distances, family history of diabetes

    I've been fairly happy maintaining 165-170 for the past two years (started at 200 in 2011), but now want to see whether losing another 15 or so pounds will (a) make me a better runner (as in: more endurance, maybe a little faster), and (b) reduce my belly and back fat, which continued to bother me after I lost my first chunk o' weight.

    8 pounds down, and just this week my stomach is noticeably smaller. Getting there!

    - Overall health. Family history of health problems, diabetes, high BP, etc.
    - For my son.
    - For myself, because I have horrible self-esteem and cannot stand my body.
    - To be able to go outdoors, walk and not run out of breath.
    - To eventually hike up Mt. Rainier.
    - To prove to myself and everyone that I CAN do this.

    I want to hike Bourgeau Trail without wanting to throw up, and to climb stairs without being winded, and to complete the 5k I signed up for this summer without walking.

    I really want to get in shape before I get pregnant so I can still be active and have healthy babies, then lose the weight faster after giving birth.

    And I want to look awesome.

    To have more energy for better hiking, dancing, and kayaking! Also, to look awesome and fit, and to feel good about myself and my habits. I also want to enjoy healthy food more, rather than stuffing my face with crap!
