Why do you honestly want to lose weight!?

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 . . . .

Great post !!!

Mainly cause i want to be hot. Healthy too in the long run. But hot

Because it feels amazing to feel comfortable again. It got to a point where I was so physically uncomfortable. Sitting down and feeling rolls. Squeezing into pants and doing squats so that they'd stretch out. I feel much better now.

A year ago my honest reasons would be to look better and to be able to shop in "regular" stores rather than Lane Bryant-y stores all the time. But in the past year, I found out that my metabolic disorder has gotten so bad with my weight gain that I am infertile, diabetic, and I have heart condition. So today, I can honestly say that it's for my health. The other stuff is icing on the cake.

Oh man - what a great question.

for me.. 1) to get on an airplane and be concerned that i wont fit in the seat
2) to ride rollercoasters with the kids
3) to feel beautiful and not have ppl looking at me everytime we go out to a resturant
4) to get fit enough to pass the fit testing for active police duty
5) to feel proud of myself

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

In a nutshell, this. Among other things. Dressing rooms put me in a panic, and I'm sick of it.

Because I hate losing it dishonestly?

LOL

cause this pic made me sick plus i want lots more tattoos and i want them on a hot body my fiance says all the time that Abby on NCIS and Danialle from American Pickers are so hot with all the tattoos i dont want an ugly body to be covered in tattoos so before i get all my plans i want to loose this nasty weight

Thanks for sharing this! I had a very similar moment where I saw a photo of myself and went WOW! i don't want to be that girl anymore.

The other reason I want to lose weight is that I want to look hot in a bikini. All my girlfriends are thinner than me and I'm very self conscious in a two piece. I used to feel skinny, and was more confident 30lbs ago. Time to feel good about myself again!

yep i had a pic of me two years ago that i put on my profile on here that scared the living crap out of me..couldnt believe i looked like that and realized ..wow no wonder i have all these health problems

My main reason is because I used to be skinny, and I want to feel like that girl (now woman) again. I feel like I have lost a part of myself, and I'm happy with every other part of my life.

I also want to have a single digit as my pants size again. I'd been hovering around a size 10 for a while, and this year I had to up it to a size 12 (gasp, for me. My sister is like a 2 or 4, used to be a 0). I want to be an 8 or lower!

I am the biggest of all of my siblings. I'd like not to have to feel that way anymore. They NEVER make me feel bad about myself. They do nothing but support me, but I have always been told that my sister is prettier than me. My mom even made a comment once. My mom is the best, and she always tells me I am beautiful, but when I was around 9 she said something that has always stuck with me and really hurt. She was trying to make my sister feel better about herself, but it was just one of those things that a parent shouldn't say, but can never take back once they have said. Anyway...

And, even though I am happily married I would like to turn a head or two. Every girl wants to know that she's still got it, right?!

I want to lose weight because I hate seeing my belly fat jiggle. Plus I want to feel pretty, I want more energy for my kids and I want to be a MILF.

In no real 'order',

To be as skinny as I was when I thought I was fat, in high school, and APPRECIATE it this time!

To fit on the rollercoaster, because my kids don't want to go on alone.

To not have to worry about weight limits on other stuff, and size limits (like aeroplane seats).

To be considered for permanent work in my career, where fitness is beneficial, and currently I am seen as a 'temp'.

To be able to run around and play with my kids at more than one minute intervals.

To not be the token 'fat friend' any more.

To get rid of my 'thick layer of blubber' so Summers are bearable. To have a need for a jacket or scarf in Winter.

To be able to buy clothes from the normal sized, fashionable and cheaper section of the store.

And if I am really, brutally honest, to attract a mate.I deliberately gained weight to make myself unattractive after a really bad, abusive relationship. I think I am finally ready to stop actively repelling men and see what happens

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!"

Awww, that's awful! I am sure you have many pretty features your sister doesn't have! You are gorgeous!

Im done haveing babies, I'm getting married, I went to school became who I wanted, moved to an acreage which I've always wanted, now I want to be the best looking and healthiest I can be. I just want to be the best ME, for my children and my finance. My mother died at 36, Diabetes runs in the family...I want to give my children a fun, healthy mother they can be proud of!

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 am purely losing weight to regain my health and well being. I have had the hot body when I first met my husand, in the Army and a body builder.

I will get back to that status again.

I want to be fit and strong enough to join the army. I honestly don't care about how I look - I'm very happy with my body and always have been. I just need the strength to get through the army's fitness test.
