    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!!

    Iron Man's are easier to complete when you don't have to carry as much.

    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:

    To be arm candy for my man ;) but also I'd like to have more children and I want to be a healthy weight before getting pregnant. To feel confident in my looks and to be around for my family for the long haul

    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.

    I gained a lot of weight while trying to figure out what medication works for me for my depression. Now that my medication is stabilized, I need to lose that weight I've gained.

    I also want to be able to go swing dancing with my boyfriend again!

    My short term goal is to lose weight for a trip to Walt Disney World in February for the wife and myself. We went there 6 years ago on our honeymoon.

    Boring reasons:
    To be healthier
    To cross a Half Marathon off my bucket list
    To say I accomplished the goals I've set for myself and be proud of that fact

    Selfish reasons:
    Vanity
    Gain more confidence
    Look smoking hot if/when meet up with MFP friends in real life
    Do something an overachieving sibling has not done so I can quietly rub it in her face.

    one of the things that made me start was when I sat down I had fat rolls on my side, and I could feel my skin fold over and touch itself (if that makes sense) now I want my muffin top gone, its alot smaller, but still there and I hate it ugh. and I want to rock a bikini, I was so close this last summer, then gained 11lbs back, so my goal is to have my bikini body by July :)
