I didn't have one when I started. I literally started my journey to get healthy. Now that I'm losing it & love the way I'm looking, I guess mine is to look cute in cute clothes.10
-
Mine is to feel good looking enough to approach whoever I want without feeling like he is too hot for me...both in person or online8

I have a lot of reasons including i just had my 4th child ...8 mths ago.. But the pettiest reason I have is to get smaller than my sister in law who only has 1 child lol! ... I know thats super petty but I mean it and in going to do it!10
-
mostly because one of the first few things i've heard from a friend i've havent seen for years was a comment about my weight
plus i want to fit in this gorgeous dress i bought a few years ago! my goal is to be able to wear it in may 2019 😊9 -

If I knew you in real life, we would so be cackling together in a cocktail bar wearing feather boas or something
You sound hilarious!!
Edit because I should probably add another petty reason - I want to be hotter than the ho who married the love of my life

I'm sick of being the fat triathlete, the fat friend, the fat sister, just the fat one.9

In for the martinis and boas!
Oh, I suppose I should add a petty reason though. Hmmmm...
You know that thrill you get when a guy almost breaks his neck trying to check you out? I play it cool but I’m really laughing maniacally inside. I love that feeling.10 -
Not related to losing weight, but getting stronger. I want to be able to start the f-ing gas powered weed wacker. Currently I pull and pull and pull and then go inside and tell my husband to come out because I can't start the f-ing thing. Anyone else? Just me?13

I got a battery-powered week whacker for that reason. I hate gas-powered weed whackers. I think I'm pretty strong, and it still kicked my butt.4 -
I adore vintage dresses ~1940/50's knowing I look chic for a 'Lady of a certain age' keeps me focused

How's this for petty?
I attended an autopsy once for work. The doctor described the deceased as an "obese female." I decided then and there, if someone were ever to do an autopsy on my body, I did not want to be described, clinically and unemotionally, as an "obese female".39 -

Well that makes me feel better! I know how strong you are ...4 -
Well I discovered another reason this week. I still have 15 to go and I've been going to the gym since March.
I started Scuba lessons last week and figured my strength had improved a lot. Yeah not so much. I can't kick hard enough to move myself through the water with all the gear on.
The instructor is like "KICK!" WELL I AM KICKING! I am not a 3 speed lawnmower. I've only got one kick speed dammit. So yeah I need to improve there.9 -
In high school I was a healthy weight, on the soccer and track team. Fast forward 10 years and 2 kids later I had gained a lot. And on my 5' frame it looks like more. I ran into 2 old friends from high school in the grocery store and as I was leaving I heard them whispering "geez she let herself go. The good ones always get fat and ugly after high school." And this was literally 3 weeks after having a baby. Well I'll show them.23

Because I’m 46, recently divorced and apparently the main mode of meeting people is online, I’m petrified to show up to meet someone and have them think I am fat.17

I enjoy being flirted with. I want to be told that I'm lying about my age because 40 year old women aren't "hot".
Hahaha I feel this. I celebrated my birthday this year at a bar, and one of the regulars there, whom I'd seen around but never met, came up to introduce himself and tell me happy birthday. He also told me I was 'stunning' but in the next breath said I was 'stunning especially for 44', and I was like 'Which one!? Which one!?'8 -
While I do have some very good reasons to lose weight (number one being I'm terrified of developing the added health problems as I get older) I do have some incredibly petty reasons.
- There is this woman that my husband and I are kind-of friends with (friend of a friend). She has a thing for him, and has made her dislike of me known. She used to be very overweight, like 350 pounds or more. Over the past year she has lost a lot of it and I don't want to her to get smaller than me.
- To be more confident naked and to have better sex, I want to make my husband drool. I won't have sex with the lights on and I want to be able to do that.
- All the cute, beautiful clothes!
- I live close to the same city I went to high school in, I don't want to run into my old classmates and have them secretly judge me, especially the ones who picked on me. I want them to look at me and be envious.
- I entered my 30s overweight and unhealthy, I want to enter my 40s looking hot!16
