whats your WHY in losing weight?

1) I want to feel better about myself. Right now I can't look in a mirror without wanting to cry.
2) I want hubby to look at me like he did when we first got together. He says the extra weight doesn't bother him, but I know it does.
3) I want to be able to run around with my children and not get tired.

There's a bunch more, but those are the top reasons.

1. I want to feel free playing and running around with my kids. Not sitting down because I am worried someone will see me jiggle in the wrong places
2. To for 1 time in my life feel sexy
3. To feel free with having my husband put his hands anywhere on my body he pleases without me pulling away
4. To be able for the first time ever wear a bathing suit in public
5. To finally wear shorts
6. To just feel confidant

2. I want to keep up with my boys.

6. I don't want to die in the zombie apocalypse because I couldn't run fast enough.:laugh:

THIS... But also when I started I was 320 and I shouldn't weigh that much. Why carry it around if I don't have to. And to to be perfectly blunt I would love to shake my *kitten* and my thighs not follow.

I want to prove I can look good nekkid and still get regularly screamingly drunk.

This may lead to intimate encounters too.

1. Get pregnant while at a healthy weight (right now seems I cant even though been trying for over a year)
2. Be able to wear a 2 piece swimsuit. All my friends are skinny and dang its just depressing when they come out in their 2 pieces and I am all self conscious in my one piece if you get what I am saying
3. Be happy: dont get me wrong I am happy now but I miss the days when I was smaller.
4. Be able to go shopping and see an outfit and not feel like I will look fat in that outfit
5. Be able to wear shorts and be confident. I love the beach and I always go in jeans because I hate how I look in shorts

I'm a diver and one day I saw a picture of myself in a wetsuit. I looked like an 8-ball.

To actually get some me time. It would seem the only valid excuses to go out alone are to go for a run or to go donate blood and I have a fear of needles that is much stronger than my fear of sweat!

To be able to wear shorts without displaying all of the cellulite down my thighs.

To be able to feel better - my entire family on one side struggles with depression and anxiety. I am beginning to think that I am not exempt.

To be able to get into the pool with my kids without feeling horribly self conscious.

For the feeling of achievement. I got a little taste last night when I managed to complete almost every one of my intervals and beat my usual pace. I have booked in for a 9km run in September and I can't wait to cross that finish line.

Tired of looking like I left my butt out during a hailstorm!!!

Mine are all mostly shallow sounding reasons. Whatever. I'm OK with that.
1. I'm going through a divorce. (DON'T SAY SORRY IT'S BETTER)
2. I refuse to not take the time for myself anymore
3. As conceited as it may sound I know that if I walk into a room people will notice when I'm at a lower weight (this isn't just because of looks obviously so don't think that is the only thing I'm talking about here)
4. I am ready to update my summer style. I just need another month or so
5. I've been putting off getting another tattoo, but this is going to be reward for meeting my goal over the next 5 weeks.

Pretty much these, except I just ended a long-term relationship instead of having a divorce. There was nothing legal, it just lasted for 5+ years. I was on MFP prior to that, but going solo has really helped me to make myself a priority, for once, and that has accelerated my fitness by a ton.

1. I wanna be able to run after my kids
2. I want the spark back with my boyfriend
3. I wanna feel good in my own skin
4. I want to be healthy
