    I decided that enough was enough. I was tired of being sick and having high blood pressure, dealing with health issues and the like. And I've always been athletic, but after my child was born, I sunk into depression and couldn't fit into any of my old clothes. I decided to take control of my life and my health!!

    My top reasons for wanting to lose weight are 1. I am tired of trying to hide my stomach and love handles in clothes 2. I want to have children soon and I want to get healthy now so that I can have a healthy pregnancy. Overall health is important, but these two are the first things that come to mind.

    I am losing weight by counting calories and by doing various types of exercise.

    I'm sure there are more honorable reasons, but for me, this is #1

    The desire to be healthy! Over a year ago I was plagued with health issues, chronic sinus infections and just not happy.... But since I picked up running so happy that I have not had an infection in a year! Now I just want to continue the path of being the healthiest me I can be!

    I want to lose weight to feel good about myself. Especially when I put my clothes on. Just to love me and the body Im in. I understand this time around that I have to workout harder then just 30 mins of treadmill but body desires more in order to burn.

    Vanity! And I want to show my fitness freak brother that I can do "man pushups." I wish I could say "health," but that's not really what I think of when I'm squatting and sprinting. I'm thinking "I'm sexy and I know it." I eat clean and do Zumba and CrossFit.

    I'm with her. VANITY all the way! My graduation is in May, and I haven't seen my family since Christmas. They always give me a hard time about my weight. So I want them to be taken aback by my presence lol. Nah, I just want to look nice for the pictures. I also want to look good in bathing suit in August. Booyah!!

    Couple of reasons, health of course. I have babies to live fo so I need to make sure I am healthy. Vanity, I do not like the extra weight. People keep saying you are tall youre not overweight...BS lol I feel fat and I dont like it so I want to feel good about me again. Job security, military does not play around with weight standards. Im not at risk right now but I also dont want to get close enough to get there. Its a tough world out there and no one wants to be unemployed behind reasons they can help control..
