What's your why?

I really love clothes and they just weren't fun when I was 195 lbs. I am now 162 lbs 5'4 with a goal of 130 lbs so the clothes fun is slowly returning. I will shop till I drop when I hit my goal weight!

I needed to remind myself of this since I'm having a tough time.
My daughter. She's 3 and copies everything I do. I have to be there for her, leading by example, and I have to keep up with her.
My husband. He's had enough loss in his life in the last 2 years.
That stupid cancer stuff I just beat. We don't need to go through that again. Obesity increases the risk of 14 different types of cancer. Of course, having had cancer also increases the risk of cancers...
My clothes are getting a little snug. Enough of that.

Clothes definitely matter. I couldn't believe I was in my large pants after being in my small ones last year. And trying on a bathing suit, I thought one size fits whale, and wanted to hide under my shirt.

Dressing myself is so much more fun when my thighs aren't spoiling how everything looks!

I want to be able to pick up and throw my kids around for aslong as possible. Plus i just love the look of a muscular physique and whilst it feels like a dream.. I can get there if i push myself

A few reasons:
1. Health. I am saving my life, morbid obesity was killing me
2. To do stuff. I can now fit every (non kiddie) seat in amusement parks, go hiking, go spelunking.
3. To like what I look like. Vanity, I want to look good naked.

Teeny bikinis, keeping up with my kids, and natural antidepressants.

Klmom123 · August 2018

Just to feel like me. I have a comfortable weight. One that I feel good and confident, clothes fit right. And this isn’t .

NeymarMessiFCB · August 2018

Being an EMT in the future. Wanting to look better, feel better, look good in bikinis, and wear clothes I used to fit into.

jdubois5351 · August 2018

I want to feel like "me" again, and I'm slowly starting to.
I want to fit into airplane/amusement park/cinema seats without it being uncomfortable.
I don't want to be the fat one in pictures (I'm actually begiining to like having my picture taken!).
I'm at risk for heart disease and diabetes and I most definitely want to not get those, if I can help it.
I want to look in the mirror and like what I see.

I had anorexia when I was younger. Kinda recovered.
Almost 4 yrs ago got diagnosed with emphysema, got depressed due to that and lost weight. When I stepped on the scale and saw the numbers that were low, like back in my anorexia days, I decided that things have to change, I can't do this anymore.
Keeping myself as fit and strong as possible, cause it supports my crappy lungs and makes my life better.

I have always been into sports and fitness but took it to a new level and decided I wanted to become a personal trainer. I currently have my fitness instructor qualification and start my level 3 personal training course after Christmas. This is my why because I want to look good, feel good and encourage/help others to do the same and take their health and fitness to a new level

For my long term health. So I can wear skirts and dresses in summer without my thighs rubbing together. To be able to go places and join in activities without worrying about my size being an obstacle. To be back in a healthy weight range.

Need friends

happy to be here. Chose my username for what this is for, for me to fall in love with me again and get moving and healthy.

sugarlemonpie · August 2018

I want to live.

My family health history is terrible. Heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, dementia, Alzheimer's, and the list actually goes on.

I had developed adult asthma, and knew losing weight would help. It was the final straw to motivate me to actually get to where I always wanted to be.

Plus, I have anxiety and depression, which was triggering heart palpitations. But now it finally feels like I have some control/an outlet through my weight loss, cooking, and exercising.

There was always a vanity aspect to it, too. Mixed with curiosity, as I have never actually been "slim".

It's taking a long time, but I'm finally getting to where I want to be, and feeling better.

Nikki4069 · August 2018

Because i'm tired of hiding behind baggy clothes.
Because I want my blood pressure to be normal.
Because I've spent most of my adult life as overweight.
Because I'll be turning 50 in 6 months and I want to start the 2nd phase of my life, healthy.
Because I want to be around a long time to enjoy my family and not cut my life short due to something that I CAN control.

For me, my Grandmother, who recently passed away, always pointed at my protruding gut, telling me that I needed to lose weight. I guess it is inspiration from her, but also just tired of being the "fat guy". It is amazing how much more confidence I have not that I have lost weight. Almost a high. Still 40 to go, but for the first time in my 50+ years, I actually feel like I am going to achieve it.

lsutigerscage · August 2018

I'm tired of not putting myself first. My kids and my husband usually take the front seat for everything in my life. Not because it's forced on me, but because I feel obligated to put their needs before my own. This one thing--tracking calories and building strength--is for me and me alone. I want to feel better and look better. And I want to open up those pesky glass jars without asking for help.

What's your why?
