why do you REALLY want to lose weight [be honest]

I want to lose weight so i can date more often and not feel so insecure and buy fashionable clothes at fashionable stores without worring if that size would fit me...ugh ..and to not be the biggest girl in the room anymore :/ that would be nice... I mean i get hit on and stuff but not from guys i feel i should have lol if that makes any sense.... but be honest ;x oh yeah and i want to be able to wake up at 6 am and run 2 miles [none stop atleast] ...

1.  I want to fit into my old clothes

2.  I want to not dread going up the stairs with someone because I'll start wheezing and they'll look at me like I'm fat.

3.  I want to be able to say my weight and not have to hide it.

4.  I want to be able to go into any store and know that SOMETHING will fit me--even if it's the biggest thing there

5.  I want to not have awkward bulges in my clothes...

I really want to feel sexy even during those weird positions...

lol i want to feel sexy during anything lol!

To be healthy and not at risk for terrible illnesses, to be able to buy suit sets and not worry if the sleeve will be short...

i'm actually a muscular guy, i just want to bring that out more by losing weight.  the whole confidence issue, i'm confident but not as much as i'd like to be.  plus my family is kind of big and i like science so it's like an experiment to beat genetics.

1. I want to get rid of my freshmen 15

2. look better in a bathing suite

3. general health (heart disease runs in my family, so I try to stay fairly active, even when I'm not trying to loose weight)

I want to be able to not avoid mirrors when I change clothes....I want to have baggy jeans ! I want to be able to lift up my shirt once again..and admire my ABS !

I just want to feel cute again.

i want to not walk around wondering if people think i'm fat

i want to 'wow' everyone when i go back and see my family in new jersey this summer

i want to look good on the beach in bermuda

i want to feel good ((and pretty)) in my own skin.

...it all sounds kind of shallow, but i think that comes with being a female teenager. there really is pressure to look a certain way and being surrounded by stick thin sorority girls doesn't help.

I want a baby !

After getting knocked up and poppin one out, I will then wanna lose weight for all the reasons mentioned by those above me, the clothing sizes, the not being the biggest girl in the room, not worrying about having sleeves so my fat arms do not offend people.

Lots of reasons: I feel more comfortable in my body when I'm thinner, exercising is easier, clothes fit better. Also, I live in Japan, where everyone is super-skinny and there is a lot of pressure to be thin. Blech!

I do it for myself.  I want to feel good, look good and be healthy.

Because I didn't look my best at my old weight, and finding clothes, especially shirts, was difficult. At the lower end of healthy, instead of the higher end, finding clothes is easy and I feel and look better.

To be able to shop anywhere.

To be able to play with my kids without collapsing in a heap.

To not have to think about whether I 'should' eat something.

To fit into my old (some unworn!) clothes.

To WOW people.

To be admired!

To be the envy of my friends (that was very shallow!  )

To feel sexy during sexy time!

I want to be healthy

... to be the real me

...to look hot!!

...to be more active

...to be more popular

yeah, and I too want my friends to be jealous! haha, but true!

I wanna look good nekkid!

Originally I wanted to fit back into my clothes, have a healthy BMI and take some pressure off my knees, but now I want to finish the job purely for vanity!!

To not worry about my weight being classified as "overweight"

To wear a bathing suit without cringing

To be able to fit into all of my clothes (I gained weight pretty rapidly and now I only have about 2 pairs of pants and sweatshirts)

To be active my entire life

To feel comfortable in a bathing suit.

To not be the "fat girl".

Just pure vanity really. =]

- To wear my old wardrobe which I adore without looking like a stuffed pork sausage

- To feel confident at all times

- To skip the type 2 diabetes diagnosis that runs in my family

- To wear a bikini on the beach without a shred of doubt

I want to not be the fattest white person in Africa (okay not all of Africa, but on Santo Antao, my island in Cape Verde). 

I want to be able to fit into the small clothes they sell here.

I want to look hotter at 30 than I did at 25.

That's why I want to lose weight.  I want to gain muscle and cardio fitness so that I am healthier and can hike the volcano on Fogo.  I take the "losing weight/fat" part seperately from the "getting in shape" part and thus have two different motivations.
