    Zombies. Cyborgs. Alien invasion.

    When the apocalypse does come, and mark my words, it will, I am going to be in for the long haul. I'm not going to be on anyone's dinner menu.

    I started noticing that the flame of passion was going out when I'd look in the mirror. I do this to reignite that flame.

    Apart from a desire to be healthy, what is your selfish reason to be fit?

    Here is mine---I have 4 very pretty sisters. I have always had the widest hips (but the smallest waist--go figure) of them all.
    Family reunion coming up in a few months and I would really like to NOT have the biggest butt of all the sisters this time.
    Petty and shallow--yes I know. I own it.

    You're are pretty yourself as well!

    Mine is just to stay in shape and look good getting older.

    Not to jiggle when I walk
  • I want to be the hot girl in the gym who wears the tiny shorts instead of the jealous one *****ing about them

    To be the person that other girls point to and whisper to their friends/boyfriend "I want to look like that"

    Edit for spelling.

    I have a lot of really cute friends and I want to not feel like I stand out when I'm with them. I also want to be hot again; fit back into my skinny clothes and to have men drool over me.

    To no longer be the "girl who graduated, went off to college and got fat." Now I'm back to my high school body and I feel great!

    I don't want to always be the fattest person in the room and I want to have guys look at me and think "Yeah she's sexy!" rather than just thinking I have a nice personality or I'm funny :P

    Shallow reasons and deeper reasons.

    I'd love to have a healthy relationship with my body. I have spent my entire life talking trash to myself and being my own worst critic. So I'd like a healthy body and a healthy mind set as well - congruence inside and out. That mental peace would be amazing.

    Shallow - well I love wearing rubber. Love love love it. And believe you me the less fat you are squeezing into it the hotter it looks. IF I had a bubble butt you could bounce pennies off - ah well then that would be the pinnacle!

    This is going to sound so horrible... my main reason for wanting to lose weight and get fitter is health reasons, I'm not that into appearances. However, I have a "friend" who I really don't see much anymore but she thought she looked great and loved to take the p1ss out of my weight and how I looked. She got married a few weeks ago and IMO really didn't look that great. I'd love to be able to bump into her one day and look great and for her to be shocked. Stupid I know.

    For medical / health reasons; I'd like to reduce the number of pills I take daily for blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol.
    If possible I'd like eliminate them completely!

    For shallow reasons; I'd like to meet a lady and do some 'night exercises' ;)

    I have always been the chubby girl and now I secretly love getting compliments from people I haven't seen in a while about how good/different I look. Gotta keep up appearances :bigsmile:

    Not stupid at all. I have a chubby friend who always comment on how much weight I have gained and keeps laughing, and keeps asking how did I let this happen to me. I just wanna get lean and shut her up!!
