    I've never been a vain person so that's not the reason I want to get into shape. I have several medical problems that all point to my being overweight. I am a caregiver for my mother and husband so people depend upon me and being this overweight and out of shape I'm not doing myself or them any good.

    To be able to take care of everyone else I've had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and my rotator cuff repaired - it's harder and takes longer to heal with diabetes so by loosing the weight the diabetes will be under control for good, and by getting in shape I'll be around to take care of everyone else and myself longer.

    A couple of years ago I realized the BMI measure meant I wasn't "overwieght" but actually obese. I remember being upset when I went into a mens store and had to buy my shirts from the big and tall section and I wasn't tall. My blood work was always okay, but it was getting worse each year. I had been able to "hold" my weight at 208 (as if that was a good thing) for many years but I hated seeing pictures of myself. So a little vanity, a little heath and MFP feeds into my enjoyment of measuring things.

    I want to have more confidence. My goal for this summer is to be proud to wear a sleeveless shirt.

    Vanity pure and simple. I want to look hot. I want to wear a bikini. Not sure if I ever would have the confidence to but I want it to be an option. To go in to any store and pick up any item of clothing and be able to try it on. To look good beside my bf and to be the skinniest of my cousins. There I admitted the true reason!!!

    To really make good on a commitment to myself. To show myself some respect. To follow through every day and not back track just because I've been "good enough," but really push myself into my own excellence and see what that feels like. To see how hot, strong, and happy I can be.

    I'm not happy with how I look, simple as that. I was a size 8 about 6 years ago and I want to go back to how I was then!

    I'd like to say it's strictly for health reasons, but that's definitely not the whole truth! I want to be able to shop wherever I want, wear whatever I want and most importantly feel GREAT in it!

    I'm tired of being trapped in this fat body that just isn't me. I feel like a prisoner in this...alternate version of myself. It needs to stop! lol

    Because I have a hot wife and I want to make her drool when I walk in the room. 1,000,000% honest answer.

    I don't want to shy away and cover my butt with a long top for summer. I want to wear a gorgeous bikini when I go to Mauritius.

    I want to live a looooong active life - I want to be that 90 year old who is sky diving and taking ski trips to switzerland! But in my family, the skinny twenties are followed swiftly by the fat forties. I don' t think it's genes - my big Irish family eats like *kitten* and doesn't exercise, ever - I want to start those habits now!

    I honestly started to feel more in control of my body and be healthy. I didn't feel like I had any control after my ectopic pregnancy that i felt that i needed to regain the feeling of being in control over my body again, which helped me gain more self-confidence.

    It's great that it will make me healthier etc. etc. but really I want clothes shopping to be easier. To be able to buy clothes that actually reflect my tastes and not just the only ones I could find that fit!

    I forgot to add: to improve my sex drive (and thus intimacy with my husband.) I have a chronically low sex drive and always have. I know that there is an inner "sex goddess" in me (haha!) and I want to show my husband that I'm capable of showing her off :love: It's hard to want sex when sex is painful and exhausting.

    - First of all, to be healthy and live a long, happy life. (Heart disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure history in my family)
    - I have been fat all of my life and am tired of how the "normal" world perceives and treats fat people. I want people to see me for who I am instead of only looking at my size and assuming that I am lazy and stupid. (don't get me wrong, I do not think that because a person is overweight that means they are lazy and stupid)
    - I love clothes and am looking forward to being able to shop anywhere I please!!!

    I enjoy feeling better about myself-I want to live a long healthy lifestyle. I want my son to learn healthy eating habits sooner rather than later like I did. I want to feel better about my body <3 I also am hoping this will kick my husband into shape too :)

    My profile pic speaks a thousand words (that is the saying right??). It was 8 years ago when my hubby and I went on our first trip. This was also before I ahd my son. I won that shooting contest (guys and girls) and was rewarded witha big bottle of tequila!! But in all honesty, I want to look like this again, plain and simple. I had confidence, I loved the way I looked and I wasn't scared to walk around in a bikini. I will look like that again, this summer......if not better!!

    I don't want to be XL anymore. I'm too short to be this Big. I want to be in the best shape possible for the second half of my life. I don't want to have to take miserable medications for problems like high blood pressure and diabetes. I developed high blood pressure over a year ago. The meds made me foggy and tired. I switched to natural supplements with some success. My thyroid started functioning after being RAI induced hypothyroid for 11 years so I was able to stop the Synthroid. My BP is normal. and I have felt better than I have since I was in my 20's. I'm halfway to my goal weight!:happy:
