Why do you want to lose weight?
come and talk about why you want to lose weight! whether it be to fit in dress or because someone called your legs flabby?
whatever the reason, come and share!
my mum keeps on tormenting me about it and a friend did call me flabby too. my mum has told everyone about my little weight problem and everyone is teasing me about it for some reason. how rude!
and its embarassing being fat when everyone else is skinny! especially when i used to be really skinny. i mean, give me a break, im short too! short AND fat!
is my 30th birthday on July and I am going to Barbados to celebrate so I want to look as I did 2 years ago at 118. Now I am 130 so I have 12 to go by july!
good luck! im sure you'll achieve your goal!
I’ve always struggled at keeping my weight down. I have a big build!
But I want to live a long time and be healthy and happy. I also want to look my best. But for me it’s not a diet, or just weight loss… It’s a complete life style revamping. For me there would be no end to my current activity level or eating style.
I want to be fit, strong, healthy and sexy for the rest of my life.
I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren grow up. If I do not lose weight and get my blood pressure and cholesterol under control (preferably dropping the meds) this will not happen.
sorry double post
ok you all have really serious reasons for losing weight. i feel silly :P
good luck to everyone, i hope you all end up healthy and get to do what you want!!
I just want my body back. I was always slim, even with 4 kids! And then a serious knee injury destroyed all of that. I went from triathlon training (missed my 1st half iron man a couple weeks after i got hurt) to couch so I really went downhill fast.
I got down 40# (gained 65 with the injury, had 15 i wanted to lose on me so original goal was 80# loss) but got injured this fall (shins) and I've been fighting to really get back on the wagon ever since. I'm down a pants size but I feel heavier so I'm almost a little scared to see where I am at. Either way, clean start and I'll get what I can done.
I go on vacation with my extended family in 3 1/2 months so I really need to do something and fast! Haven't seen my aunt in 2 years so I'd like to look better then I did last time she saw me. Getting a new scale tonight and that's the last excuse I've got to let go of.
thats so sad. i totally understand how you feel! its like you used to have something you were proud of and you worked so hard for but then it got taken away so quickly.
I want to drop lbs because over the years ive listen to others that i was too small. Now i am overweight so i guess its time i start listening to my body and what is good for it.
Don't feel silly. You are obviously upset by the comments of other people and that is a perfectly valid reason for wanting to lose weight. I also know the feeling of being "the fat one" (I'm not that tall either lol)
I hope you achieve your goal
Lower back pain! It's starting to become a major obstacle in my crazy social butterfly life! I gained alot of weight around my midsection which is causing to much stress being placed on my lower back. So I am trying to get rid of it.
To the OP I hope you achieve your goals. I am so glad I grew up with awesome friends and family (and I am def. the largest in both groups and come from a very athletic family so what the heck happened to me LOL). So I can't even imagine having my own mother behaving that way! I am sure if you stick to your goals, write them down and use CC you will achieve success!
Want to hear something crazy?
I started to want to lose weight because my grandma told me I had health problems (despite regularly playing competitive sports) and would pay me $20 for every pound I lost.
I felt horrible about my grandma basically disapproving of how much I was a fat fat fatty, then got pissed that the offer stemmed from a confidence that I would never lose the weight... so I lost 50 pounds.
i was approaching 40 and i'd been gaining slowly (3-4 pounds a year) for over a decade. i realized that i couldn't help getting older, but i didn't have to keep getting fatter.
i've lost almost 30 pounds and have been struggling with those last 5-10 for over a year now, but my bmi is down from just over 25 to just over 21.
nobody ever called me names or said i was fat.
I want to get to my goal weight so I can be comfortable in my own skin. After 15 pounds I already feel so much more comfortable. I can sit any way on the couch without my stomach embarrassing me. I would be fine staying where I am but I basically just want to be the healthiest I can be and am changing my lifestyle to healthy foods, weight lifting & cardio on a regular basis. I am doing this for me but it would be nice to have BF a little similar to my boyfriend's. It' no fair they can eat chips, candy bars and soda and still be amazingly fit. :p
My downfall...I don't count my calories on Saturday & Sunday...but it is nice to eat some of the foods i miss during the week as long as I don't go over my maintenance calories.
I have never ever known what it feels like to be thin. I want that for myself now. Getting older, my self-esteem has improved, my home life is great, I have a great kid, a wonderful job my life is the american dream...it is all good. But, for me....to myself...I do NOT like being over-weight. My husband says I am beautiful...but what I see in the mirror doesn't reflect that. I am tired of being the fat chick. I want to know how it feels to be thin....at least one time in my life. I am pissed that I let myself get this big. I am pissed because I didn't realize that I have every right to be normal size. I need to do something about this.
Tired of being "the fat one" in every single social context.
I want to love my height by not being big and tall but being hot and tall haha.
Want to look good in clothes and be healthy for jobs when I finish uni.
I love clothes, I want them to love me back!!
Just after I turned 40 I started having trouble moving. It hurt to sit, to stand, to do anything at all. After e-rays, I was shown the arithritis that was the cause. I started doing yoga just to increase movement and then went into other forms. I was losing weight and getting stronger. I keep going to stay strong and mobile for as long as possible. At 47, I can honestly say I am the fittest I have ever been in my life.
Keep well and happy everyone!
