    I don't remember when last I was able to fit in pants that had a size that was only one digit.
    So for me.

    1. I stepped on the scale 2 weeks after the last Thanksgiving and was the biggest I have been in my entire life.

    2. My family is skinny. I am easily 35 pounds heavier than the next heaviest sibling, even with the weight lost so far. My sister, despite having 4 kids, has been the same weight since she was in high school. So there was no excuse for me being overweight.

    3. Due to my years of army service, I have a slight back disability which becomes worse the more weight I gain. I got tired of walking only a few blocks to have my back killing me. My back pain is essentially gone after losing the weight I have so far.

    4. I am generally into playing lots of sports and being good at it. I want to get back into it. Not many fat guys playing basketball and soccer.

    5. I want to get to a size 34 waist. A lot easier to shop for nice pants when you are a size 34-36 vs a size 38-40.

    6. I want my son to grow up with a father who is just as active as he is.

    7. Stress management. Its hard enough to manage stress when you are not overweight.

    I want to lose my weight because I look at pictures and realize how big I have gotten.
    I seem to not have realized it.

    1. I want not just to be a pretty face.
    2. I want to do things with my three beautiful girls because I feel like thay are only getting
    half their mom.
    3. I want to wear shorts and tank tops again and look hot. I just want to put clothes on and feel
    like myself.
    4. I am 30 and I want to have my youthful feeling back.
    5. Lastly I want to feel sexy....me and my husband have been married 5 years and I have been
    pregnant three times ...It is time for us to get our relationship back!!!!

    At this point I'm only about 15 lbs over. I'm losing the weight so that I can date again and secondly I enjoy playing sports and being smaller means I'm faster and can do a lot more.


    Why wait? You look fit to date now IMO!!

    I have this last chance to avoid getting type 2 diabetes. I need to lose the weight and try to get off of various meds I am on. My first diet my mom put me on was in 2nd grade, I took "metrical". (precursor to slim fast?..) to school for lunch. I don't remember being in single digit size clothes ever.

    My health is secondary and maybe even tertiary to wanting to 1) shut a couple of the voices in my head the hell up/make them happy and 2) be the cute, lovely one. I need my big, overgrown, wide body to reflect the type of person I am. A very small amount of my health problems stem from my weight. (I don't have angina/heart issues because of my weight, e.g. They stem from problems with my collagen/veins.) However, my head is jacked and my weight contributed to that.

    No one gives a *kitten* about anything about you save for weight. You can't be f*cked up and fat. No one cares. If you're thin and mental, people care. I know it's probably a horrible/negative answer, but it's honest.

    I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and take pretty pictures again. I miss being fit and sexy. My confidence is out the window. But I have been working hard and I am starting to see it a little bit thank god! On that note, every one of you inspire me. Thank you and good luck. :)

    For Me.
    So I can wear all the cute fashionable clothes and not feel self concious.
    So When I go to the bar with my girlfriends, I get hit on too, and don't just have to play wing woman.
    So I can go to the beach in a bikini, without people thinking I'm a beached whale.
    So someone can be attracted to me physically before getting to know me, and realizing I'm twice as awesome on the inside.
    So that I can make everyone who ever doubted me feel like an idiot.
    So that I can finish what I started, for once.

    I absolutley love this..... exactly how I feel as well! and I swear the next time I hear, you have such a pretty face I'm going to scream, I'd just love to be told "your pretty"

    Strictly for me, myself, and I. Was tired of being fat and hated the aches and pains that accompany it. Feeling much, much healthier now.

    To dress slutty and show people I have an awesome toned body. Plus to prove my haters wrong and make all the people who made fun of me back then kick themselvs in the *kitten* and *kitten* to my hot pics on Facebook. The end.
