Honestly its about 20% health reasons and 80% wanting to prove those that told me I could never be thin again wrong. Probably not the best reason, but its one hell of a motivator!0

1.) I want to LIKE my reflection in store windows again. I use to go by a store and "slightly" check myself out in it but in the last 3 years I've avoided them (ran away from them) the like the PLAGUE! Now, I want to be able to look at them again and LIKE what I see!
2.) I'm tired of being ENVIOUS of my size 4 SIL! She's beautiful, tiny, 25! Eats like the weight won't stick! Even though, I LOVE her, I HATE her metabolism!
3.) I want to get into shape so I can stop looking OLDER than I am. I've been mistaken for a Grandmother 2x recently. It doesn't feel good at all! Granted, I was mistaken for a YOUNG Grandmother. (The 36yr g-mom, 24yr mom, 2yr baby). THAT crap is UNACCEPTABLE!
The TRUTH shall set you free.0 -
I lost a ton of weight (150lbs / 10 Stone) and gained a lot of it back, so my goal is to prove to myself that I can lose it again and keep it off this time. I want to wear my old (way cuter) clothes and look the best for myself and for my husband. I don't want to feel insecure about my weight anymore. FYI I'm an American who moved to England, I'm married and in my 30s. If you'd like to add me as a friend, I try to be very supportive and could use the support back.0

My number 1 reason is because I want to look in the mirror without wondering how I let myself go!0

I remember how great it felt to be in great shape back when I was 18 years old and I want that feeling again...oh, and health.0

It's split equally three ways for me: Vanity, health, and age gracefully (or look/feel younger).0

Honestly...... Being old and fat scares the crap out of me. I refuse to go up a size in my trousers, so as the waistline grew there was only one other option. Now my clothes fit so much better, and I want to try for that body I could never be arsed to work toward in my teens - not totally ripped because I would never stick with maintaining it, but slim and gently toned...0
-
Because I want to feel attractive again. For myself and my other half.0
-
Because one of my biggest fears in life is being obese like the rest of my family. I refuse to live in a prison of my own body.0

I agree with you "Higher"..health is being affected now because of weight gain and hate the way my clothes fit..or rather dont fit!0

Nuff said0 -
I want to be crazy hot naked and not only have everyone go 'oh dayummmmm' when I walk by, but also think 'who's that sexy beast?' when I look in the mirror - clothed or unclothed!0
-
I'm looking to get in shape b/c I had a lot of changes happen over the last 6 months and I had no control, so I wanted to find something I could do as a positive change.0
-
My reason is because for the first time in my life, im afraid for my health. I recently put on weight and found out it was due to issues with my thyroid. Ive been on medication for about a year now but I just dont feel GOOD anymore. Ever. Im always tired, sluggish and depressed. I want to get in shape to help protect my health and hold onto it as long as possible.0

I want to be to be able to get around better and not be so crippled up!!!0
