Read my ticker - it says it all.0

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! =D0

I have two main reasons and both are equal important for me. Health and vanity. I want to be be healthy and live a long time but hell I want to look good while doing it!0

#1 bikini bod. #2 feel good and healthy0

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.0 -
Health, to look good and to have a more enjoyable time shopping for clothes. Buying bras right now is hell, so is wearing them. haha0

Health is the main reason but I also want to be able to buy cute clothes.0

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!!0 -
Short term: bikini ready by summer, more energy by eating/drinking clean
Long term: fit enough to hike longer distances, family history of diabetes0 -
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!0 -
inorder to decrease my cholestrol level, to fit into cute jeans and be energetic0

- 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.0 -
Because I was sick of being obese.0
-
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.0
-
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.0 -
The little bones in my feet and ankles hate carrying this much weight around.0
-
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!0
-
To be able to watch my kids grow up...............nuff said!0

I need to loose the winter weight so I can fit back into my spring and summer clothes :sad:
