    While I mainly love the feeling of being healthy, it honestly is probably not my main motivator. I do think I care a little too much about how I look and how attractive I am to others. I guess whatever works as motivation!

    A million reasons! To make my ex look like a bigger fool than he already does - ha! - to shop in "normal" stores and not pay what I call the "fat tax" on plus size clothes. To be healthy and keep up with my son. To ride a roller coaster again because my fat *kitten* isn't gonna fit :(

    But mostly so that when a guy likes me, I can believe it's me he likes. The last four guys I've dated have reminded me constantly (read, any time I mention wanting to get healthy, being frustrated with my weight, etc) that they "love fat chicks" and I'm "perfect"! Thanks, but I'd rather just be liked for who I am, not the fact that I'm unhealthy and overweight O.o

    first, for my heath. I need to get my cholesterol under control and my last blood test came back as "pre-diabetic" and i need to get that under control

    secondly, I want to look better - i am short and losing my hair - i can't contril those. This I can.

    Finally, I am a cheapskate and don't want to buy new clothes.

    My hubby and I want to have a baby :happy: and I don't want to have to worry about losing the baby weight + that extra 10-15 lbs...I'd like to lose the 10-15 lbs now and only have to worry about losing the baby weight when that time comes.

    I just want to feel good about myself again. Also by eating healthy and drinking my water i am hoping to slow down the aging process as well. But feeling good and healthy is my main priority.

    I have a million reasons why I want to loose weight.
    I want to be around to see my 2 nephews Conner and Mason grow up. I enjoy being around them.
    I want to look better and feel better about myself. I don't have very much self esteem or self confidence.
    I want to healthy. My mother has type 1 diabetes and my dad has type 2 diabetes and is now on dialysis. And I don't want to end up like that and be a burden on my family.
    One of these days when not if but when I loose this weight I want to know what it's like to wear a bikini and fit into a pair of skinny jeans. I want a brand new wardrobe.
    To also get revenge on my ex husband I wanna loose all this weight send him a picture of the new me and say "This is what you gave up and what you could've had.
    And if the time comes and I meet the right person I want to have a little one of my own.

    I want to be the girl that all the other guys always wanted me to be, but that my husband deserves.

    So that no one can ever tell me that I'm "not good enough" again.

    I want to look great and feel great about myself.
    I want to be able to take off all of my clothes, stand in front of a full length mirror and smile about what I see.
    I want my husband to always find me sexy. I want him to want to jump me every time he sees me :-)

    Nope, nothing to do with attracting anyone.

    I just wanted to avoid DYING for a few more years! :-)

    Honestly, I want to be that woman that men look twice at. And, not because I have a big butt but because I am attractive.
    I also want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. So, yes there are health reasons but the primary one is to self-esteem issue.

    I have a culturally-indoctrinated obsession with the number on the scale.

    That's the God's honest truth.

    I have had many people tell me "you don't need to lose weight!" My doctor says I'm healthy and I do tend to look lighter than I am.

    I just want to get my scale below freaking 150 because I have a vain complex about it. Sad, but true!
