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?

oooh I love all these reasons! What great motivation!

Mine are much and such the same.

To walk up the stairs without being out of puff!

I want to look cute in all the new summer clothes- no more covering up!

I want to feel less like a big giant! (Im quite tall too, I feel huge next to my normal heighted skinny friends!!)

I want my so called friend who always puts me down to be jealous that I am slimmer than her! (lol, that sounds mean- but shes not nice!)

good luck to everyone, I'm sure we will all reach those goals!! :D

I don't want to be thinner....I want to be thin, for once in my life. I want to go through a day where my weight in not an issue in some shape or form (turnstiles, bus/restaurant seats, walking past people on the street and knowing they are assessing me weight-wise, shopping at plus-size stores, etc etc etc) and just BE. I want to weigh less than my boyfriend, and not have my thighs rub together, and wear a bathing suit in public and do more activities without getting winded and all the rest...but the number one thing that outweighs all others (no pun intended) is I want people to look at me and think how pretty I am, not think how I would be pretty if I were not fat. SO vain of me I know...I don't know why this is so important to me but there you have it. Trouble is, how will I know when I get there? Take a poll?? Well I guess being hit on a lot more migt help.

And no worries, you're already pretty to me!

I would like to be healthier and smaller.. I know I don't look like I have much to loose but to me I have always been a smal girl, heck im only 5"5 and a small fram but I recently put on 30lbs and I'm sure everyone know thats a lot of weight for anyone..

So im gonna give it my best effort and I am ready to change my life!!

Want to fit into size 4 clothes and get rid of belly fat......

I think everyone wants to look and feel there best. For me it goes much further. I have a 4 year old daughter that is cute as a button. I am seriously concerned though. Her paternal grandparents are both obece and have type 2 diabetes. They have helped my husband and I since she was born and she spends a lot of time with them. I want to improve her eating habits and I think kids learn best by example.  I don't want her to be obece when she is my age. At 4 years old she weighs in at 59 lbs, she is very tall, but to me still seems to be a little much for her. After her birth I was so worried that I lost every lb of the 60 I gained during pregnancy plus 30 pounds within 3 months. I guess in the last 4 years and 1 child later I have started to slack.  Its hard to tell your kids no they can't have something when you are eating it. So I figure that if I don't want her to eat cookies, I can't eat cookies. Its working out well, much thanks to this sight. She is addapting well to my changes in cooking and is actually eating what I cook with little complaint.  So in the end I hope I look better for superficial reasons, but even if I don't lose a lot of weight changing the way my whole family eats its worth all the hard work.

What an awesome discussion!

1. Saw my mom go through Gastric Bypass after YEARS of yo-yo dieting and it scared the hell out of me.

2. I'm getting married. Not only do I want to fit into the wedding dress I picked out 20 pounds ago. But also, I don't want to be freaking out on my wedding night that my muffin top will send him packing (I know how lame this sounds... but, what can I say! Nerves!)

3. I have NEVER worn a two piece.

4. I have always been "the fat one" and I'm down 60 pounds, almost the thinnest I've been in my life (with the exception of a few months ago), if all it takes is another 30 to be another face on the street, why not?
