Why do you honestly want to lose weight!?

I'm in better shape at 44 than my assistant coaches (33 and 19). I enjoy kicking their butts and rubbing the fact I'm 11 years older than one and over twice the age of the other0

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
You're not a fat mess.
:flowerforyou:
Thanks Tom but cant help how I feel about myself unfortunately:frown:0 -
Yes this tooI want to get fit and have abs that make all my male friends jealous! I have always been the overweight one of my friends and it's time for those b*tches are jealous of me!!0 -
I have gained another person over the past 20 years that I do not like carrying around anymore!0

. My dad tells me not to bother trying to lose more than 10 kg- and I told him I wasn't born to be fat and he responded with there's no going back now.
Sounds like somoene needs you to prove them wrong!0 -
That is NOT who we really are.Honestly, my reasons are very VERY superficial...
I want to be able to wear the type of clothes I like AND look good in them, and I REALLY want to look as good with clothes as without them!
Also, I got a little bit tired of being "the fat friend"...there's so much more in me than fat!
Unfortunately, most people cannot see past the fat, can they?!0 -

It's so funny how people who used to be fat and are now fit bash fat people. Doesn't seem like the kind of person I want to be when I lose the weight.

I'm trying to avoid looking like the rest of my family. Sounds superficial-ish, but it's true. Several of my aunts and my grandmother on my dad's side are over 300 pounds, and I just can't let myself get anywhere near that point! Granted, I actually know what a vegetable is (in my family, vegetables are usually french fries...and as I sit here I'm chowing down on green peppers...yum!) but still, I want to be healthy and not get to that point. I'm also trying to avoid type 2 diabetes, as it runs in both sides of my family, as well as heart disease. My dad was recently diagnosed with both diabetes and CHF (congestive heart failure) and that won't be me.
I'm ready to be a happier, healthier me!0 -
I want to look better butt *kitten* naked!0

Spring break 2012! I don't want to be the fat friend next to my skinny friends in bikinis in all the pictures...
And I want to be able to enjoy clothes shopping. I want clothes to look good on me! I want to wear a bodycon dress outside of a fitting room.0 -

I wouldn't know. I've been "blessed" with being the only real fat person I've ever met.
I think it might just be fear over going back there... It doesn't make it right though...0 -
To see what's under the covers.0

Last year my husband and I dieted hardcore (meaning staying on our diet 100%, not drinking, and doing controlled "cheats") from Jan-May... and I lost 40lbs and he lost 70lbs. I know how to do it so there's no excuse not to! I gained about 15lbs back from Oct to now... and I want to get down to pre-baby weight before we go on a beach vacation in May. I want to feel as sexy as my husband sees me as being.0
-
I really like the way I feel about myself when I am thin. I am starting to get there now.
I've always felt like the fat one next to my friends and cousins. I want to keep up with (or even beat
) them.
i really want guys to see me as hot. I want to be the girl that guys look at when she walks by. 0 -
So when I take my clothes off it's like "BAM!"0

I agree. You would think someone who has been overweight before would be humble and supportive of other big people. Your not alone with being fat, I think I am now the biggest out of all my friends but it is changing and the right way this time. And I know what it's like to be big and not completely miserable with myself too. I've always accepted that I was big, although I think it got out of hand over the last year so now I'm making a change. But once I reach my goal, I am going to still be the same old person regardless of size and treat people with respect.0 -
2 reasons...
1) To run faster
2) I like to look in the mirror and see me thin 0 -
Also, I want to bend easier...0
-
I didn't like feeling embarrassed and self-conscious about my looks.0

To make my husband attracted to me again0

…and to bend easier.Also, I want to bend easier...0 -
i really did start doing it to be healthy.. my blood pressure was through the roof and not under control.. my cholesterol also through the roof.. i couldnt hardly breath while walking up the stairs in my house..it was even hard to walk down the stairs..when i got up in the morning i had a very difficult time walking because the arthritis in my feet and ankles was so painful.. every joint in my body was inflamed. i had a hard time sleeping because my fat neck was suffocating me and i got sleep apnea .. when i turned 50 i realized it was do or die.. well im 80lbs down now and omg i love my life. im extremely active. i won a weight loss contest already over five nursing facilities..now im in a body fat loss contest at the gym which i intend on winning. ive come to enjoy challenging myself and am back into athletics again like i was when i was a teen. here i am at 52 and im not looking back..i have my health back and have a quality of life now. during that time i was losing weight i also went to college to finish my bachelor degree. my life has been wonderfully crazy since. i have enough energy for ten people most the time. my grand kids love me because i put them in the double jogging stroller and take them on 5 mile hikes . im also doing weight training--something i always dreamed of.. to be healthy again means i can do things again and thats why i decided to lose weight0

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?
First of all, I looked at your pictures and you are a beautiful young woman!! You are anything but fat and anybody who says that must be crazy.
Anyway, I have a ton of reasons to lose weight, I want to look good, and feel better about my self, I have kids now and want to set a good example, I want to get healthy for my kids and I want to wear a bathsuit without wearing shorts over it 0 -
Because I want to look in the mirror and not feel hate and self loathing. I want to test my blood sugar and see good results. I want to walk in a room with my head held high, feeling good about myself. I want to not deal with diabetes side effects. I want my husband to be proud to be with me. I want him to look at me and feel love and admiration as I do for him.0
-
This! Plus I want to be healthy and full of energy!Same as you. I want to look at my body and say heck yes I look amazing! Be able to rock what I never knew I had. (:0 -
My reason is..........
I had gastric bypass 11 years ago.HATED my body even as I starved it to get THE look I thought was important. Met a guy....BAD choice....was alone for awhile...Met my husband (talk about having your universe ROCKED! I got comfortable with knowing a man loved me no matter what. That was 5 years ago (as of this April). He still loves me no matter what.BUT I DO NOT LOVE ME!!!
I hate EVERYTHING about me! HOW the heck did I lose so much ground?!
SO, Jillian and I are now friends. as far as workouts. I need to REFIND Di..the confident, happy and secure me of BEFORE my husband....I am excited to meet the Di of now....I have my best friend as my hubby.....So look out world here I come!
He tells me I am beautiful and I look in the mirror and say NOT....he says he likes my butt (what butt?!) and I roll my eyes...I want to get to the point I can see me thru his eyes and love Me like HE does!0 -
because I want to look hot naked!0
-
Because I've wasted the last 7 years of my life with a man who has ground my self esteem down & I now want to feel good about myself.
I haven't given up on Mr Right, I want to look amazing for him! 0 -
Because I'm getting older and I feel like it's showing in my face. All the extra weight I'm carrying around isn't helping at all!!! Because I don't want my kids to ever be embarrassed of their mother due to her weight. Because I don't want to turn 37, 38, 39, 40, etc and say "I wish I had started caring for myself better when I was 37. I'd be so much thinner now." Because this is how my last 6 birthdays have been.0

At first it was to be able to not stand the sight of myself in the mirror.
After almost 40lbs gone, I wan to lose weight so I can up my speed when I run. And to have abs and arms like Jillian Michaels. Not just to look good, but be able to to push ups and better hold a plank.
I never thought I would actually WANT to be able to do 100 pushups, but I do. Really bad. And run a 10K in less than 1.15. I want to do that really bad too.
And now - I love me in the mirror. Am I still considered morbidly obese? Yes, but not for long.0
