    No, for me it's more about becoming eye candy in a general sense

    A few reasons.

    1) I hate how I look with the extra weight. I want to feel sexy and I don't when I'm toting flabby bits.
    2) I want to feel healthier
    3) I feel like I have very little control over a lot of things in my life and food is one area I can be fully responsible for and in control of. My good days and bad days are mine and mine alone.
    4) I like a challenge and having already quit smoking, alcohol and drugs and meat I'm running out of stuff to quit!

    For no other reason than because I feel so down at this weight :( every morning i wake up disappointed with myself- especially the last week of two as no loss after constant loss for 2 months!

    Stupid fruit (i changed back off fruit now)

    - I hate how I feel and look with the extra weight. I gained it fast due to stress.
    - I don't want to have the health problems my family has
    - Too look good in what I wear, and to feel good about how I look
    - I've feel like on and off in my 20's I've been on an on and off diet. I was at my goal weight once in my teens, but then settled after gaining weight in the army. I don't want to settle any more.

    I want to lose and get in shape for me first and I already have an amazing guy and Im sure it will help keep him interested in me physically. Even though he says Im fine the way I am, I know he would love the old sexy fit me back. lol

    but first its for me to feel comfortable im my own body again, to be able to run and play with the kids without having to sit down evey 5 mins, to be able to wear what I want, to hopefully add a few years onto my life and just feel good about myself again.Inside and out.

    Attracting a particular person wasn't my primary reason for trying to lose weight, but being considered more attractive would be a pleasant bonus.

    1. Health
    2. Because I owe it to my partner and any future children
    3. Self Confidence
    4. I don't like being fat
    5. To hopefully inspire healthy habits in others.

    I have a ton of reasons for wanting to lose the weight.
    To feel good about myself
    To wear whatever I want and not have to worry if I look fat
    So i can keep up with my future kids
    So I can run a 5K
    To feel sexy and attractive
    So I don't have to take heartburn pills everday
    So I can get off my anti-depressants

    But the biggest reason is so that I don't become diabetic. Diabetes is a huge problem in my family and my mother was diabetic when she was pregnant with me, which make me more likely to become a diabetic when I am older. Losing weight would help prevent that.

    I want to be healthy...I want to live long enough to be a burden to my children as payback for their raising.

    As an aside, I'd love to LOOK like the "trophy wife" my husband teases me about being, since I'm almost 8 years younger than him. ;)

    I want to wake up in the morning next to the love of my life and have him say, "Sweet Jeebus, you're really flexible!" LOL But seriously, yeah, it would be nice not to be seen as the 'buddy' in a group of guys and have someone be an assertive man for a change. I am tired of having to put out a sales pitch to get a date because my body type isn't seen as 'normal' or 'ideal' or 'attractive' or whatever they say that means -- too fat.

    Mostly so my thighs don't rub together anymore lol

    I'm doing it for me (insecurity reasons) but also because I think my boyfriend deserves someone that looks great.

    I know that's a little messed up but hey, we all have our issues.

    1. Because I want to be able to pass the physical test that comes with going to the parole officer academy.

    2. So that I feel comfy in my own skin and can wear cute clothes!
