Before it was always just because I wanted to be physically attractive to others. Now as I've slowly lost and got older its definitely about myself and mainly fitness inspired ( I'm a runner and weighing less certainly helps)

Also I'm starting university in September, meeting lots of new people and being in a new environment make me want to work hard this summer to feel my best but also have healthy habits to take with me!

    When I first started 3 years ago I looked in the mirror and imagined what I wanted to look like. Since that day I've not lost focus of that, despite my hiccups.

    Now I've lost nearly 150lbs, I loook In the mirror and see a more defined version of me.

    I guess there's no limit to how you want your body to be, but becoming fitter, more flexible, quicker, an advanced form of me, is what I'm aiming for.

    I want to avoid an early grave.

    My wife finding me attractive would also be a nice bonus.

    Seeing myself in pictures other people took of me at parties! Looking at your self in the mirror or taking your own pictures kind of cheapens how you really look. You know your angles or lighting to take a better photo!

    The challenge. It's never an easy thing. But it's always worth it when your spouse starts treating you differently with and without your clothes on.

    Not liking what I saw looking back at me in the mirror. Getting told I looked alot like my sister. Being so depressed and not liking where that was heading... Brought a treadmill even after everyone told me I wouldn't use it. I showed them 14kgs lighter and I still use my treadmill loads. I'm never going back too that unhealthy unmotivated unhappy person ever again

    I started to do this for my health... I am diabetic and started with arthritis and the doctor told me I had to lose weight. Now it's to feel better for myself as I feel great when I leave the gym or when I fit into something new in a smaller size and to look better to others.

    This. Instead of just squeezing my boobs or slapping my *kitten*, my hubby now swoops me up in his arms all the time and tries to carry me upstairs. Before he would have that strained look on his face if I tried sitting on his lap, now he asks me to.

    Definitely not liking what I see in the mirror - being told that I would be pretty if I could just lose the weight - to be healthier - get off cholesterol medication - to feel better - to be able to run around with my niece and nephew without being so winded ... But mainly for me!

    I'm at my heaviest at 25yrs old and 5"10 and 213 lbs, I've been looking at college pics of me at 180lbs and I want that body back. Plus I recently broke up with my bf who kept cheating with smaller girls, so I want "revenge" ie for him to see me slender again and eat his heart out :D

    Ive always been a fitness & diet fan & out of the blue had a stroke for no reason. I got depressed & couldnt do my regular stuff & had to join the 'stroke club'. I now have the all clear so my motivation is to keep fit & healthy & loose a few pounds & be happy again.

    Just kidding. I want to not hate buying clothes or wondering when someone's looking at me what they might be thinking.

    I like being the hot hubby/dad.

    Keeping up with or beating the younger guys at the gym is fun too.

    Realizing I have three little girls who are looking at me and formulating in their little heads what is "normal". I wasn't willing to have them think obesity is normal or that there is ever a point in life where its okay to give up on self-improvement and introspection.
