    Definitely fitness. Have some health issues where losing the weight is reducing the medications I need to take daily. Want to lose more weight and lose all the medications.

    goes both ways for me... fashion for fitness because i am a personal trainer and need to look good on the floor.. and fitness for fashion cuz i wear a certain brand of clothing and i need it to work for me when im working out and training!

    I would have to go with Fitness first, considering the thing that started me down this path was not being able to keep up with a lot of my friends. Although if I'm being honest, I do loooooove that feeling of looking awesome in my skinny jeans again!

    Neither. I like to push my limits. Fitness and fashion are a byproduct of that. Most people would say I do it for fitness.

    Ha according to that article I am perfect then -_- 5'7" and 170.2lbs .. I could take it further and say that my WHR (waist to hip ratio) is a perfect .70 (seriously). But why is it that I don't feel perfect?

    I look in the mirror and I see big thighs that I hate, I can't find pants that stay on my waist but are big and comfortable enough to cram my thighs into. Girls are walking around in skinny jeans (which I think are ugly personally) and this is what is considered fashionable.

    I want to lose wait to be able to FIND CLOTHES that FIT. I want to lose weight to feel like I'm healthy because I surely don't feel like I am because my clothes are in the plus sized section of the store or not available at all in some (France).

    My goal is to run faster for longer, jump higher and tackle harder.

    Any questions?

    I have to say Fitness because I am a diabetic ...but the ultimate goal is Fashion because I am vain :smile:

    Mainly, fitness! I am a dancer, so being fat was holding me back from dancing to my full capabilities, i was very self conscious and uncomfortable! I am losing weight, mainly for that. But if i look good on the way, i am more than happy!

    I'm so close to 1912 ideal! Thing I'd have trouble finding jeans to fit with a 30 inch waist and 40 inch hips, though!

    Levi's 515.

    <- 35, 29, 41

    Definitely fashion, however i don't feel that I am pressured into thinking any certain way about my body. I want to lose weight because I don't like the way I look, I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks:)

    I have a 29 inch waist and 46 hips, even whe thin I had the same ratio. I've just given up on trousers all together.

    Fashion, for sure. (although I've never heard it referred to as "fashion")

    Both actually..i mean you gotta admit....the nice clothes are for small people BUT i do look like an Adonis so i need some muscle and plenty of lean cuts so when the fashion is gone there are no complaints :D

    Fashion. I am tired of always being left out of cute new trends because of my weight. I wasn't overweight to start with, but because I was average build most of the boots, dresses, and tops that came into style just didn't look right on me. I have to be thin.

    Fitness. I want to be healthy, energetic, have no pain, disease and take no pills. I also want to be professionally and romantically desirable and to fit into my old clothing.

    Hmm toughie, but fashion is probably first. I started working out because I wanted to look good, but now fitness has also become a part of it - I love feeling good too! :)

    A little bit of both for me. I want to look amazing, but I also want to be fit, strong, and fast.

    It's not either/or for me. I want to be able to tackle some really tough physical challenges, but I also want the sex appeal.

    Fitness. Everything I do related to diet and exercise is focused around overcoming my horrible genetic predispositions. And if I end up looking better because of it, that's a bonus, of course.

    Fashion. I don't want to have to cosplay as bulky male characters any more. If fitness comes as a by-product of my weight loss, then it's an absolute bonus.

    If I'm being honest I started out with my goal being fashion. After being at it and yo-yoing for years it has become more about fitness, and how much better I feel (both in & out of clothes) when I stay on track. It is no longer a journey I am taking for others, but for myself (& a little bit for my fiancé! :blushing: )

    My main goal is to feel great about myself. There are a lot of factors that go into that. Looking good (according to MY definition), being strong, feeling energetic enough to do the things I enjoy doing, being "healthy" ... those are all part of it. I don't feel the need to put them in any certain order of priority.
