    * I want to be at a healthy weight for my height.
    * I want to feel sexy for my hubby.
    * I want to like what I see in the mirror (if that is ever possible).

    Good reasons!

    I want to be athletic. I want to be 80 and feel like I'm 20. I want to live forever!

    i want to be able to wear clothing i like and look cute.
    im tired of making my legs look thinner through leggings/tights.
    my ex always went on about how he liked slim girls, so i guess i partially want revenge :/

    I'm pretty much just down to vanity pounds now. I want to like my thighs! I never had. To start it was to improve my health, and get truly fit.

    For myself! I want to be healthy and also a good role model for my daughter (of course I need to get fit to keep up with her!) My blood pressure though fine was slowly creeping up and now that I am exercising and losing weight it has gone down to where it was when I was in my 20's! (41 1/2 now) Also being in my 40's things are wiggling and jiggling more and I am tired of seeing it. I want to do what I can, without surgery, to tone up and feel awesome about myself! I want to be that Grandma that runs around with the grandkids and never look my age!

    My profile statement pretty much sums it up :)

    "I have been overweight, well pretty much since I was born ( I was a big baby!). Like every other heavy person, I have tried all of the fad "diets" and would loose weight, only to gain it back plus more. About 2 years ago, my sister who has always been over weight like me lost almost 100lbs. That's when I finally said enough is enough. She proved to me that the impossible is possible and that I can do this too!! I am ready to get this weight off and move on to the rest of my life. I want to, not only be a healthy weight, but to "be" healthy. I want someone to look at me and think, "she cares about her health". I want to hike mountains, run marathons and never feel held back by my body!!!!!! I'm tired of saying I can't do something, I can't fit those clothes, I can't go to that party...because of my body. I'm done, no more autopilot, I am taking back control of myself!! "

    I want to lose weight because I didn't want to be over weight and 40. At 35 Ia lost 80 pounds for this reason and slowly but surely most of it crept back on. I want to be healthy, sexy, and full of energy. I want to not only look good for my age but feel good as well.

    I want to be healthy and live long for my kids
    I want to be a good role model for my kids, I didn't have one growing up and was never taught proper nutrition
    I want to be comfortable in my own skin and not so damn insecure and self concious all the time
    I want to be that sexy blonde bombshell I was before gaining all this damn weight lol

    I don't ever want to feel like my body is holding me back, and I need to set some new healthier patterns for myself so I can age a little more gracefully.

    First and foremost to be healthy; to feel better and more confident in my own skin.

    I want to lose weight to surprise my husband when he gets home from being deployed, to get healthier, and to pass the time until he gets home.

    First and foremost - I want to live to see my next birthday!

    After that:

    - I want to recapture the energy I had in my youth
    - I want to be more attractive for my wife
    - I want to enjoy my life

    and last but not least

    I want to feel better about who I am as a person.

    #1 Reason for myself, I am tired of looking in the mirror and hating what I see, I want to be able to go into any store and pick out the cute clothes. I want to be healthy and way more active throughout the rest of my life, couch time is over!
    #2 so I look good for my hubby

    oh...and I want to be healthy & fit.

    PMSL - I read that somewhere (Dr Oz on Opera), and its probably a reason all fat men want to slim (even if we only admit it to ourselves)

    To not wince when I see photo's of myself. to get the body I deserve and boost my confidence. No longer be just described as "nice" or "lovely" but "sexy" or "fit"

    This list might get long!!!

    I want to be healthy, feel healthy and pass this lifestyle on to my children so they never have to feel the way I have for so many years.

    I am tired of my weight holding me back from doing things I love (running, swimming, cartwheels, etc.)

    I am tired of hearing that I have such a pretty face (even though that’s a nice thing to hear, I am sure some of you understand what I am saying)

    I am tired of shopping in the Plus sizes.

    I am tired of having to pull at my shirt to make sure it’s not hugging a fat roll

    I am tired of being looked down upon for being overweight and being the source of looks that say “man she shouldn’t be eating that”.

    I want to feel strong, healthy and sexy for my husband

    I want to look in the mirror and not hate the reflection I see

    I want to be Fabulous and 40 not Fatty and 40!

    Many reasons...

    I want to be healthy.
    I want to spend many years "playing" with my grandbabies, not just watching them play.
    I want to be old but not look or feel old.

    I reached my ultimate weight loss goal last October and have maintained that loss now for 10 months.
    I have changed my health from mediocre to near fabulous.

    I feel fantastic!
