    Vanity. I want to be able to wear cool clothes again.
    Example. I want my kids to see me making changes, and being healthy.
    Pride. I hope to belt in TKD next year, and I don't want to be a fat black belt.
    Sexy. Asthma attacks during vigorous sex are not sexy. I want to be sexy again.

    i'm sick of hating the way i look and not having any self-esteem/confidence, especially as i've always been fat and was bullied a lot
    Plus I'm short so i look stocky

    I want to look good naked and in clothes, not cringe at photos of myself and get upset by them and feel good in my own skin. i also want to feel/be fit and healthy, not loosing breathe unless doing something strenuous, as well as having people think and say i look good too!
    So vanity and health

    hmmm..

    my hip hurt a lot along with high cholesterol. Really that is what started it.

    Next in line i have this bag under my eye...it's going away now and I was sick of being the "fat" friend.

    so mainly health...then vanity kicked in and now why do I maintain...I gave all my bigger clothes away, I like lifting weights and I look pretty fine.

    ETA: whenever vanity was the main motivator I lost that motivation and yo yo'd a lot...my health really kicked it into gear for me.

    To begin with, it was about feeling healthy again. I had previously lost a lot of weight and regained most of it and I felt really unhealthy. As I've carried on, and become more physically active, it's about being able to maintain and increase that level of activity , particularly in relation to pole dancing.

    i have 2 reasons:

    1. I want to look and feel good about how I look, rather than constantly worry whether something is going to fit and how bad it will look.

    2. My weight is affecting my fitness which in turn affects my job. I really need to get both sorted!

    To look and feel sexy naked.
    I hate being the ugly chubby girl, I look like I am 6months pregnant because of my belly fat.
    Its also something to work towards, it gives me a goal. I want to be hotter than my friends, I want to be sexy for my boyfriend.
    Also my whole family is obese, my granny, aunts and uncles, my mother and recently my older sister has put on more weight. I don't like to look at my mother and say one day ill look like her, so I've started now, to try to keep my weight in control.

    I am tired of feeling "plain" all the time. I want to look and feel "extraordinary". I want to wear WHATEVER I want, and know it is going to look good. I want to feel strong, vital and healthy, and know my body will be ready to take on any challenge I ask of it! I want to be the best roll model I can be for my boys. I want to give a big, fat middle finger to a MS diagnosis and live my life exactly as I want for as long as I can.

    I'm all set with my fupa, and muffin top.

    What a beautiful horse!

    It's all about the fupa for me now. I've declared a war to the death on it. Mine or its. And it's going down!

    Look good naked. I won't try to to hide it, it's straight-up vanity. It's why I started and it's why I continue. All other health benefits are strictly icing on the cake. :wink:

    Honestly...
    I am tired of looking at myself in the mirror and hating myself.
    I want a baby but I don't want my weight to cause problems.

    I'm 48 years old and headin' towards menapause. I would love to lose 25 lbs before I turn 49. I know it will be much, MUCH, harder to lose it after I'm 50ish.

    A mix of vanity and athleticism. I want to be very comfortable in my own skin (currently I can't sit alone in shorts without feeling shameful and gross), but I also want to run marathons, climb mountains, etc.

    To carry less weight when I run which in turn will allow me to run further, faster, and easier.

    To stop going up in pant sizes and so that I can do everything that I want to do. I live in a beautiful area (nc mountains) and would love to be able to take advantage of it and hike and whatnot without getting so sore and out of breath :)
