    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!

    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.

    I have a huge closet full of designer clothes that don't look good on anyone bigger than a size 0.

    I want to loose weight for vanity reasons only to be 100% honest the health thing is just a side effect of that

    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.

    My clothes don't fit. I'm down to one pair of jeans that fit and I refuse to buy a new wardrobe.

    I pretty much am doing it for myself and also it is a requirement for a surgery so if I want the surgery then I have to get the weight down.

    According to my blood/urine, I was fine health wise. But I was getting chubby and didn't like it. I was also out of shape.

    Thus why I am here. There are health benefits for limiting the amount of fat you carry. Or at least limiting the amount of excess (more than your specific body would like) fat you have.

    Looks. Pure and simple.

    At the weight I am right now, my BP is low, my cholesterol is perfect, my sugar is great, and the doctors have told me before - bewildered - that I am healthy here.

    When I am thinner, its not that I can do more or feel better physically, I feel better emotionally. I have huge self-image issues so when I am back into a size 8 (which is wear I look good usually) I am happy with myself, and like the attention I receive.

    My BF is a touring musician and I know he loves me and is faithful, but hot skinny groupies throw themselves at him at every show. I want him to be proud to show me off (not that he isn't but in my mind, ya know?)

    because i feel ugly at this weight

    This. It makes me a sad, angry person. Looking older is hard enough to deal with, being old and fat is just too much.

    Because I'm a fat mess and I'm sick of being constantly uncomfortable and embarrassed by my size! Not being able to wear nice clothes and getting out of breath easily!

    I'm disgusted that I've let it go this far :embarassed:

    Although i do want to have impressive fitness and health, I have to admit...that I really honestly want to lose weight to look hot and feel confident, have a body that people are impressed by and to know that when i wear a t-shirt with jeans or clothes in general that i'm not going to have the unsightly tire ruining every photo. Basically to have a body that i don't have to worry about having a fat day, because i wouldn't look fat anyway :P
