    I was all talk, about losing weight. I wanted to, but had no motivation, and then I was diagnosed with hashimoto's disease. After starting medication, I feel so much better. My friend on facebook started a 30 day challenge for a group of friends to track what they are eating and they're workouts, and I've stuck with it, and surpassed those 30 days. Taking it much more seriously than just 30 days. This is my life, and I'm in control, and I'm excited to see my old self inside again. I may not look amazing right now, but I know I'm going to.

    Let's see.

    I split two pairs of pants in a week.

    My then 3 year old daughter wouldn't want me to help her because "it will hurt your back."

    I saw pictures of myself and was just sad.

    Was getting leg cramps and the like when sexing the wife.

    Final Straw - Went to visit my brother who is 5 years older than me and he had just lost a lot of weight.

    So yeah, shame and vanity.

    Looks like it's been very effective, too. Gotta love that shame and vanity combo.

    I had a baby 7.5 months ago, which made me fluffy! That's not the reason, it's because I am now the FAT Friend :embarassed: I can be a mom, and still be hot and in shape damnit! :tongue:

    My sister just had a baby and I want to be able to play with him and not get tired or out of breath, but also I have always been the heavy sister and I wanted to lose weight while she still had her baby weight.
    Also I wanted to cry every time I looked at myself naked in the full length mirror.

    Well, here goes -

    I finally had to but double digit pants. For my body type, HELL NO!!

    Saw pictures from New Years Eve and hated them.

    Have been trying to have children for several years and finally said F it, if it happens it happens. I'm taking my body back!

    I have always wanted to run at least 1 long distance race.

    I have been overweight most of my life, and when I wasnt fat, I thought I was. Oh what I would do to be "That Fat" again.

    My mother was diabetic, she didnt like to take her meds because they made her sick. She functioned at a blood sugar of about 500 on a daily basis. She developed neuropathy. Then suddenly died of a heart attack when she was 49.

    I dont want that to be me, and I dont want that to happen to my family.

    I need surgery to have a baby, but the surgeon wont do it until I lose weight. This is my daily driving force to lose the weight. I have two older children, but I want one with my husband (Im remarried).

    I looked at the engagement photos taken of my fiance and I, and all I saw was how fat I was in the pictures, and not how happy I was. I did not want the same feeling from my wedding photos, so it was time to make a change.

    I want to look good for a few boys coming on my church's beach trip this summer. :ohwell: Last year I was gaining weight during summer and totally did NOT realize it. This year I will come back and look good.

    That is one of the reasons. Other reasons are that I freaking want to wear my size 6 shorts again, even though I know my butt will probably not fit in them ever again, I still have them and I will probably not be satisfied until I am able to wear a size 6 again.

    For real?

    I kicked my ex out in January, having suspected for months (and finally receiving confirmation) that he was cheating on me. Since I had already distanced myself from him for a while before officially giving him the boot, I really feel I'm completely over it and ready to meet someone new...

    However, when I look in the mirror, I am NOT happy with what I see, and I know I can do better.

    Like someone else on MFP said, I wouldn't do me... why would I expect someone else to want to?

    honestly... I hate being naked.. I cant wear a swim suit and I'm really just.. grossed out about myself.

    My main shallow reason would be that if I ever run into an ex, or high school classmate I dont want to be the one who got fat... :explode: SO... I want to wow them all!!
