Hi! I just got involved in this site, and I'm really loving what I see. Is anyone else losing weight for looks as opposed to a medical concern? I'd love to swap tips or recipes with other looking to join me.

    100% for vanity right here. I've never been overweight and I'm totally healthy, I just want to look good.

    Me- my BMI is into the normal range but I want to lose a bit more to make myself feel better when I look in the mirror. Of course since I only have about 8-9lbs to go, I'm finding it is HARD!!! Damn vanity weight

    Both here.

    Of course I want to be healthy and get fit, but I also aim for a nice body :)

    Couldn't have said it better myself! My BMI is like....20.3, I think. But I'm flabby, and that's no good.

    I know mine is cosmetic, but I also know working out and getting fit will make me feel better physically also. I think wanting to look better than we currently do is a good thing, it keeps us motivated.

    Yep! I want to look good! How good I feel and how much knowledge I've acquired are definite bonuses. But I really do want to wear cute clothes and look good!

    I've been feeling a lot better mentally, emotionally and physically since I started working out and eating whole foods, and I am definitely leading a healthier lifestyle, but I have never been overweight and am seeking to lose weight purely cosmetically as well. Initially I started my journey because my clothes were fitting way too tight, which now 8 lbs later isn't the case, my clothes all fit great again. Currently I'm seeking to lose any excess fat that is preventing muscle definition to show, mostly in my hip and thigh area, so I can feel 100% confident in a teeny bikini again. My goal weight is 120 lbs, but my real goal is to go from 25.3% body fat to 20% body fat and lose inches on my waist, thighs and hips, so the number on the scale doesn't really matter once I reach that goal.

    Both. I have a lot of health problems due to my weight.

    At the same time, I want to look the way I was when I was 18. I was HOT.

    I'm right there with everyone... The health is important but when you've spent so long feeling like you don't look as good as you could naturally your going to want to see that physique. I'll never be hot but wouldn't mind turning a head or two!
