Why are you losing weight?
Replies

My # 1 reason for wantin to lose weight is for my girls. I have two disabled girls Amanda,18 and Katy, 14. I want to be able to care for them forever, however long that may be, and I need to be in the best health possible to do what it takes to take care of them and so that my body doesn't just fall apart. I have fibromyalgia, low thyroid and take medication for svt which is a heart tachycardia. So I have alot workin against me but this time none of those things are stopping me. The weight is coming off slowly but surely. I'm also a christian and pastor's wife and I want to represent a healthy christian lifestyle. As such I should have and show control in every aspect of my life including my eating. It feels good to have control and not lose control. KIM0

He claims to have about 2 inches on me, but it's not true at all... We both have thick muscly legs and big boobs and lil beer bellies. Except for the "parts" we're pretty much the same. The only thing keeping me from looking like a man are the "girls", make-up, and long hair :laugh:
hahahaha Im scared to loose a lot of weight I like my curves!! I was looking at pics of skinny women .. well from the bottom of their chest to just past the butt and they look like men!! There's no curves at all!! I dont want that! haha
I'll never lose my curves. Even at size 6 I had the perfect hourglass figure... I've always had fat arms and thighs I'll probably never lose them... I just want my waist smaller and to tone up a lil0 -

I whole heartedly agree I like my curves. Maybe it's a black girl thing but being a stick figure is not attractive! I'm a woman I'm supposed to have hips and thighs and a sweet *kitten*. I just want less of those things than I have now :laugh:
I'm losing weight to feel better about myself. To feel like I look good in and out of my clothes. I want to only shop in the tall girl store (I'm 5'10") not the big and tall girl store.0 -
for me i think its been a security blanket.... had a really bad break up with someone i loved more than anything!!! I would have done anything for this guy... except put up with his cheating!!!!! sooo when i kicked him out I told myself no one was gonna hurt me and my kids again... i completely focused on my kids and nothing else and the weight just started packing on!!! 100 pounds fatter and 4 YEARS later!!!! at 273 my heaviest, I felt like crap about myself .... well in January i took a train to go visit some family and when i could barely fit my fat *kitten* in the seat a huge bright light came on in my head.... omg what am i doing to myself????? What good am i to my kids like this????? everything for the kids really???? ..... anyways here i am!! not perfect in anyway still have lots to go but im now 229 and i am starting to feel really good in my skin!!! i had S-E-X for the first time in 4 and a half years on friday!!! and i feel omg so awesome about myself!!!:blushing: I still have lots to go but i am a sexy pretty woman and i deserve all of this!!!! its not just for my kids.... this is for me!!!!0

Haha!! Yep! I like my booty it's not giant by any means, but bigger than most girls would appreciate (see temporary main photo, I'll change it in a couple minutes) and the hubby likes it too. I don't like my thick legs in shorts mainly cause I'm so pale but in jeans I love em haha0 -
i have actually had problems with eating for most of my life. so my main goal is really just to be healthy again...like i was a bout 5 years ago. in my sophomore year of highschool i became anorexic. i weighed 130 lbs and was very athletic but for some reason i thought i was fat. at 5 foot 6 i dropped down to 92 lbs. it took me a little over a year to get back to a healthy weight but i never fully recovered. i actually did a complete 180. i got so used to having to eat everything to gain weight that i couldnt stop. then i began to get depressed about all of the weight i was forced to gain. so like many people i ate to subdue my depression. it has continued for about 2 years now. now i am bigger than i ever was or ever wanted to be so im doing this because im sick of being unhealthy. for me this isnt just about losing weight but about changing the way i think about food and my body.0

I started out very curvacious in my early 20's (and my body was very bootylicious LOL:laugh: ) but of course when I met my hubby that's when it all went down hill
! I think I got too comfortable and I was happy with our relationship! So I felt why do I have to watch what I eat !!:mad: BIG mistake!! Within 2 years I gained a whopping 50 pounds:noway:
Now, here I am age 27 and still very Happily:happy: married... :grumble: But trying to shed all 50 + pounds!
I also, lost the weight to look sexy in my clothes again, stay healthy, change my lifestyle and stay and feel younger!!:bigsmile:
Me striving to get fit is the best thing that I'm doing in my life right now and I won't stop even after I reached my goal!!:bigsmile:0 -

Wow, you've got a lot on your plate! Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:0 -
I have a lot of reasons....
I haven't ever felt like jaw dropping sexy....and I'd like to get close.
My daughter, I want her to live a healthy lifestyle.
My fiance, he loves me for me and how I am...but I know I can make him prouder.
My students, I am an example to them and some of them tell me they want to look like me!!! No way...not as overweight as I am! Curves are fine but there is a thin line between curvaceous and fat.
My health, I want to hold off health related issues as long as possible.0 -
Myself, of course I'll start off.... I miss feeling sexxxy! Going into a room and knowing I might not (well I never am) be the prettiest girl in the room but feeling sexy in my own skin made me FEEL like the prettiest girl in the room ya know? I also miss the crazy "piano playin" the hubby and I used to do:devil: . Back before I was scared to have the lights on or he might see this roll, and that roll.... I mean there's a million more reasons but lets all dive in... I'm sure I'll get around to it :flowerforyou:
M- You are so beautiful! I don't believe for a second you wouldn't be in the top ten count of the most beautiful girls in the room. You might not see it but I'm sure you stop traffic.
As for me....my mission to loose weight is about the same. I want to feel sexy in a swimsuit. I wanna buy clothes at the regular store. I want to run without feeling like every part of my body is about to break. And what I want most.....to be ready to get it on and have my first thought not be ...."Should I turn off the light or just leave my big baggy T-shirt on?"0 -
In the same boat here! i pretty much gave up eating all together throughout highschool.I would MAYBE eat one meal a day? If that! Of course..when you are in highschool no one really notices because you are so busy ....so skipping meals was never really noticed. I was always really skinny...like you could count all the bones in my body..but I never ate healthy stuff..so when i did have kids and eventually gained weight....a lot of weight at that......it was harder to lose it because the healthy eating habits were never there to begin with! I also felt like I could hide behind the food..big emotional eater here..instead of controlling the depression..I let it control me.. I think you are so right..It is all about changing the way we think of food...and our bodies! We're only given this one body..mind as well take care of it!!!i have actually had problems with eating for most of my life. so my main goal is really just to be healthy again...like i was a bout 5 years ago. in my sophomore year of highschool i became anorexic. i weighed 130 lbs and was very athletic but for some reason i thought i was fat. at 5 foot 6 i dropped down to 92 lbs. it took me a little over a year to get back to a healthy weight but i never fully recovered. i actually did a complete 180. i got so used to having to eat everything to gain weight that i couldnt stop. then i began to get depressed about all of the weight i was forced to gain. so like many people i ate to subdue my depression. it has continued for about 2 years now. now i am bigger than i ever was or ever wanted to be so im doing this because im sick of being unhealthy. for me this isnt just about losing weight but about changing the way i think about food and my body.0 -

I put a picture of me on the train with my son in my profile.... omg i look at that picture and its scares me.... the pic in my profile of me with the white shirt is my now picture.... 45 pounds makes a huge difference!!!0 -
I have three beautiful children who I want to role model good behavior to...proper eating and exercise. If I don't do it now and stay with it they will follow in my foot steps, the wrong ones.
I want to be healthy and live a long and happy life with my hubby who has always made me feel like I am the prettiest woman in the room from size 7 (when we met) to size 16.(just 6 months ago)
And now, I want to be able to ask my 12 year old daughter if I can borrow a pair of her jeans!! And I finally am!! Hello size 8!!!0 -
I am NOT one who looks very good overweight. Add weight to my large and manly bone structure and watch the kids scatter and run in fright.:laugh:
I've never had a great body image and suffered severe anorexia & bulemia in my teens years when I competed in pagents. Not like it was worth it...I never won more than a few.:grumble:
I gained 80 lbs with my son (curse you Snicker bars) and from there had severely high blood pressure. Because of my weight, I stopped being active and playing sports and realized I was missing out on some of the best things in life.
So here I am...almost to my goal weight...and am truly experiencing some of the best years ever. .:happy:0 -
..and am truly experiencing some of the best years in my whole life.:happy:
Because of me, huh?? :blushing:0 -

Hmmmm...well, I lost a lot of weight about two years ago, I just got tired of how I looked and felt. I started just by paying attention to what I was eating, and then I started at Curves. The weight just seemed to melt off. I felt good-and I looked good:bigsmile: I was never one to draw any attention from my looks-not the good kind anyway. I liked that I was turning heads and getting compliments:blushing: I felt really good about myself! THEN-my hubby says-let's have another baby! :noway: I thought he was CRAZY!!! Well, we had number three, and now I'm ready to feel good about myself again. I have three kids to keep up with, lots of students to keep up with and I just want to look good in my skinny clothes again!! 0

I typed this whole big story about my life and I lost it by accident!!! :explode:
I'm too darn lazy to type it over again so....I want to lose it cuz I want women to call me a beyotch when I walk by (cuz I'm so darn hot) and I want my girls to learn that eating healthy and exercising is part of a normal lifestyle.
That's it.

I woke up one day and realized that I was the same weight as when I delivered my 11lb daughter. :grumble: Two months later I had surpassed that. The final straw was when 4 strangers in a week asked when my baby was due
...my youngest is 5. Sooooo...ultimately I wanna be drop dead, traffic-stoppin, smmmmmmmokin hot. :blushing: Oh yea and healthy too.:laugh: 0 -

Why???
health, blood pressure and all the others I will have if I do not do something..
I want to sit in chairs and fit....
I want to shop in a regular store!
I want to fly on a plane, and use ONE seat!
I want to be sexy to my husband..
I really do not want my 2 year old to eat like me and grow up with a weight problem, I waited all my life to have her, she will be an only child and she deserves the best from me!
I need to be a positive roll model!
and truth be known, the side effect of being smokin hot when the weight is gone, is really cool too!
