    For me it's several things:

    ~Actually FEEL sexy & confident about my body (I've NEVER been at a point where I was happy with myself physically)
    ^^^This has also been effecting my BF & I's sex life - I mean its still great but i am so distracted about how I look naked I can't enjoy it like I should be able to

    ~To no longer have these rolls of fat control my life - like going on vacation is torture cause I'm just so miserable about how I look I can't enjoy things, like going out with friends I haven't seen since High School but being too ashamed of how I look to meet up with them....i can keep going...

    ~ THE CONSTANT FIDGETING/RE-ADJUSTING CLOTHES CAUSE MY ROLLS ARE PREVALENT <--UGHHHH I dont want this anymore! lol

    ~ After seeing how my sister got while pregnant (both times & I'm similar size to her now, not pregnant) - I don't want to feel like a pregnant roley poley on top of being obese...I want a healthy pregnancy when that time comes around & I want to stay in shape during too since it helps facilitate a healthy pregnancy & delivery, so I REALLY want to strive for this cause I plan on having kids sometime within the next couple years.

    ~I want to make this a life style change as I have never worked at something as hard as I know I will to lose this weight. I need to prove something to myself

    ~I also want to be super cute in anything I wear & I want other girls be jealous of ME! (yep, that one is pure vanity)

    1) For myself. I want to feel confident in my own body. I HATE when people respond to that with, "then, why do you have to lose weight to feel good about yourself, huh?". Feeling confident with my body means to me, being healthier and knowing I'm doing the best I can to have that body and the confidence I desire.

    2) To look AMAZING in a swimsuit!

    3) So when I get married I can fit into my dream dress.

    4) I want to be a doctor. Who would take healthy living advice from someone who doesn't believe it for themselves?

    When I was 25, I developed a tumor that was physically crushing my windpipe, heart, and right lung. Only being as in shape as I was at that point kept me alive long enough to get the necessary medical attention. Even then, the doctors said "if it isn't a kind of cancer that will respond quickly, he'll be dead in a week". Luckily, it did respond quickly. I've been in remission for years, but I want to keep that edge just in case cancer ever comes back.

    1. Believe it or not, health really is the #1 reason.
    2. I'd like to someday be physically attractive to my girlfriend.

    To not have to take meds to control things I can control with proper diet and exercise. To spend as much time on this rock as I can. And to push myself to places I never thought I could or would go.

    I'm tired of accepting that being overweight is 'ok'. I want to be healthy and fit and most of all, I want to be a great role model for my kids.

    Oh vanity, for sure. I want to wear nice clothes, and show off to myself!

    And also, in case I ever run into my ex..... "WHOA! She's so hot."

    Because it feels amazing and being unfit does NOT.

    You know that LOOK people give you when you have a fat face. They just look through you.
    THEN when you have a slim and toned face, they LOOK AT you.

    I know this will probably sound completely ridiculous and jealous, but whenever I see a gorgeous slim girl walk past when I'm with my boyfriend, I always feel so crap about myself and feel like I'm a massive disappointment to him.
    I want to feel like he is proud of walking down the street with me!

    Body image issues. Healthy habits. Gaining 10 pounds a year at 22 is not the direction I want! that would mean say 230 pounds + at 30? Thats not respectful to my body.
