What is your reason?

Now I know everyone wants to loose weight for a reason,health is one of the most important one (I suppose) but if you would be asked to describe your reason I am sure it would go a bit further than health.SO here is the chance ....tell us WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE THINNER?

I want to buy a small wedding dress....not a BIG one!

One of my friends had a stroke, and he is only 31.  I tried to lose some weight about year ago because this one dress I loved wouldn't fit me anymore, but that wasn't enough to make the life change.  I did it for about 3 weeks and gave up because it was just easier to bakery or kebab place for lunch rather than making something healthy to bring with me or taking the time to go to a good restaurant with food that is good for me.  I needed the shock.  He is okay now, it was only a mild stroke so he was back to normal within a month. 

I don't want to be obese (I was at the very top of almost being obese)

I don't want to keep ruining pants

I want to like at least one picture of myself (I don't think weightloss will help that though. I'm not photogenic)

I don't want to get diabeties, like some other people in my family

I want to post a picture of myself on my MySpace

To stop my bad eating habits before it too late.

To get rid of my excess flab. Sure it will be better for me in the long run.

Plus just finishing my exams and my fat seems to have gained more fat....

BECAUSE I WANT TO BE HOT :] FOREVER.

I WANT TO BE A MILF YOOO.

I want to reach my goal, then I want to maintain my weight forever :] lol.

I want to be healthier, and look amazing that basically it.

Well, I mostly just want to be able to dress myself without having to sift through the hideous clothes in the wal-mart plus section or special-ordering online. Honestly, denim-colored leggings?? ::shudder:: Size 8 here I come!

 I'm with you on that one!! I definately want to be able to buy cute clothes!!

My number one reason for wanting to lose weight and get healthy is that I want to be able to keep up with my three year old son. He has tons of energy and I just don't. (or I should say didn't, I'm getting better week by week yea)

I run and I love running but at 200lbs I have had 1 tibial fracture and don't want another one. I also want to run faster and get my times down to 7min/mile vs. the current 10min/mile. 

While my husband loves me - he does not always desire me. So, I would reallly like to have that. 

No more jiggle and wiggle would be nice. 

Want to climb a few mountains in the West 

I am incredibly glad that so many of you replied!I might have even helped with this question so that you ladies shout out the reason why you are working so hard!I am very proud to see all these positiv and personal arguments!KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

I don't want to have to say "I am in the worst shape of my life" anymore.

The worst shape of my life is going to be HISTORY and it is going to stay history!

I don't want to feel like the fat one in my group of friends.

I want to be able to trade clothes with my best friend (hahaha).

I want to be able to shop in the stores I like without feeling too big for them.

I want the clothes I think are nice to look GOOD on me.

I don't want to reach in the back of the rack for jeans anymore.

When people ask me what size I am if they want to get me clothes for my birthday/holidays I don't want to be embarrassed to say.

Being able to hike in Yellowstone National Park this summer without thinking my lungs and heart are going to explode inside my chest.  I would love to be able to actually enjoy the beauty as opposed to constantly thinking how much longer I have to hike.

This is a great thread :)

I want to live to be old, healthy, and fabulous!

I don't want weight to be a factor in getting pregnant.

I want more energy!

I want to stop ruining pants!

I want to love the skin I'm in!

At first it was to get back to my normal self but now that I am feeling like my old self again (lost 40lbs) I just want to be a faster runner.  Heh.

1. Honesly, I'm short and slightly chubby, and I wanna look good and not stretch my clothes so much

2. I have a bad knee and putting more weight on it is not a good idea

3.I want to tone my muscles and be able to run someday

that's about it for now

I have had several pretty bad accidents that have screwed up my knees and ankles pretty badly.  I am really muscular and my freelance job requires me to pull some funky stunts (I'm a theatrical electrician)-- but one that I can't do is straddle the top of an A-frame extension ladder.  My ankles and knees are too screwed up and the extra weight I have at my stomach really, really doesn't help. 

So I'm working to lose weight because:

-I want to be better at my job

-I don't want to be in pain any more

-I want more energy!

I want to fit comfortably in movie theater seats, seats at ball games, etc.

I want to weight less than my DH.

I want to keep up with my kids with all of the activities they do, rather than dragging behind...huffing and puffing.

I want to be attractive to my DH.  He tells me I am now, but I am just not feeling like I am.

• I want to really WOW my hubby i know he loves me as i am but i to look as amazing as he makes me feel.
• I want me belly to stop scrunching up in a really unattractive manner when i sit down
• I want to look as good from the side as i do from the front (no pregnant belly look)
• And i don't want to feel like the fat girl at work its bad enough im 10 years old them most of them.

I want to have more energy and feel better in a bathing suit (no more back boobs). 

I do not have to worry about diabetes and heart disease.

So that I can nail as many hoochy mommas as I possibly can!
