    Originally, it was the desire to have my high school body back. It evolved into a love of weight lifting and exercising in general. Now, I'm losing weight to get to a body fat percentage to do my first bulk.

    Only for me. I never want to look in a mirror and be discouraged - I also never want to let my weight hold me back from anything again. Confidence = living a better life. I no longer feel awkward in a bikini, I am no longer intimidated by things that I used to be scared of. Weight loss broke barriers for me and self worth is more important than fitting into a dress.

    Plus weight lifting has changed my life - new passion, new strength and new leaner body.

    My glucose number was in the prediabetic range. Lost one grandparent to T2 and am currently losing another one to it. Knew where I was headed and decided to change direction. So health was the real reason for me.

    In 2012, I used MFP to get down to my ideal weight in preparation for having a baby.

    Spent 2013 pregnant & gained A LOT.

    Now that baby is here, I'm ready to lose the weight again. I wanna be back in shape for 2014!!

    I started to be healthier and that is still my primary reason. However, once I've reached a certain point it is more about looking good and being attractive for my husband and for my own happiness.

    Because I couldn't make it up a flight of steps without struggling to breathe and not being able to just keep up with other people. I think for me it's not so much the "losing weight" part of my newfound journey, it is a lifestyle...to own it is to live it! To call it something else like a "diet" only gives it temporary meaning... my thoughts.:flowerforyou:

    I want a baby! First reason.

    I want to be healthy while pregnant. First runner-up reason.

    I want to be healthy even if it doesn't happen for me.
