What is the reason you honestly want to lose weight!? Everyone says they want to be healthy and because they want to have confidence and all that stuff! Yes I want to be healthy and have self confidence, but I really want to lose weight because of all the people that called me fat or a cow (like I don't all ready know) and whatever else rude things they said to me! I want to lose weight and look HOT and just rock it! I want my body to say look at me now and look at what you can't have! I want to make them regret everything they ever said!

What about you?

    I want to lose weight so I can ride roller coasters with my son :) and spend all day at a theme park with him, and get on the floor comfortably to play with him.

    getting healthy is a given... I want to ride roller coasters :)

    Mostly for me. But... a small part of me is hoping to someday look better than my little sister. She once introduced me to someone by saying "This is my sister. See, she looks just like me but fatter!"

    I was tired of feeling invisible. Tired of lugging around all that extra weight. Tired of hating how I looked. Tired of hating how I felt. But mostly I was tired of feeling like I was worth more and not having the strength to do anything about it. One day I just decided that I was worth it . . . .

    I was a fat, unattractive, unlovable slug....

    Today, I am fit, look good, feel great and plan a wonderful, long life.

    Who would trade that for anything?

    Because it will make running easier. And I like looking and feeling my age.

    4. bikini

    All of these apply to me!

    I have this intense drive that being smaller will make me better. Will make me prettier, more confident, more sexy.

    it won't do any of those things. but I can't convince myself of that, not yet. Still trying.
    in the mean time, I'll keep losing weight.

    Feel gross and uncomfortable.
    Tired of 22 years of yo-yo dieting.
    Sick of my own excuses.
    And I refuse to pay money AGAIN for bigger clothes.

    I want to be able to go on holiday this summer and really enjoy it. Pfffff it's not really about a bikini... I have an hourglass shape so a one piece is lovely when I'm slimmer. The real incentive is being able to be active in the hot weather without having to worry about my thighs chaffing in skirts or my bingo wings flapping in short sleves or the fat sweaty pictures that will appear on Facebook that I don't feel comfortable asking friends to remove.

    Now those are big reasons for me!

    1. My health
    2. To be comfortable, because I never am
    3. To have some fun, because at this weight, I don't have any
    4. To be treated better, because people treat fat people like crap
    5. To find a nice guy (preferably in California, please), move away, and live happily ever after

    My main motivation is my health. I got some not so great blood work results in September and that was the thing that really made a difference for me. I've always been a "healthy" fat person and to see that all those years of being overweight were catching up to me was a huge eye opener.

    And, as a side issue, we took my 7 year old to Disney this summer and my first thought on every ride was "will I fit?" I don't want to worry about that!

    And I want to shop in the regular store - not in some plus size department that they have hidden in the basement!

    4. To be able to go places and not worry " will i fit onto that ride"
    5. To not be afraid to have my photo taken

    I want to amaze my husband with how awesome I look when he gets home. That's my main motivation and that's what pushes me through every workout and keeps me on track with my diet.

    I have hyper-mobility syndrome and weighing as much as i do is putting more strain of mu ligaments and joints than they need, causing pain.

    I want to lose weight so that i'm not in pain also to avoid the heart disease that is so prevalent in my mothers family.

    Same here! Being healthy and all that is fine and dandy but I just want to look super sexy in a 2 piece.

    I want to lose weight because I want to be able to be comfortable with myself. I've always played off that I am comfortable in my body, so much that it actually fooled me too! But I'm really not. I just hide my insecurities so I won't hurt. But I don't want to have anything to hide. I want to be confident that I'm beautiful completely.
