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] ...

I want to be able to RUN so effortlessly like the other girls who were on the crosscountry team with me in high school.  I hated being the 2nd-to-last girl puffing along with her face all red.  (I have a ruddy complexion, and when the foundation sweats off I look like a BEET)  Running is something I really love, but I can't do it right with my current lack of fitness.

I  LIVE at the beach.   And anything other than a bikini is OUT after the age of like, 12.  Locals just don't wear anything else, unless it's a wetsuit to surf.  I hate feeling like people are looking at me and commenting "she shouldn't wear that"

I want  to catch a fit boyfriend!  Awful I know, but I just feel like boys don't look up and take notice of me with the way I look right now.

Well, I really want to feel beautiful - just like everyone else.

I want to have the strength to know that I'm not disguisting - even after someone says that I am.

ANNNND I want to be carefree. I wanna go out and have fun and not worry about how I look because i knowww that I'm fine and nothing's hangin' out anywhere. lol

One: To get back to my 'fighting weight' and play hockey again. Loved me some hockey, still love me some hockey, want to play me some hockey without doing a shift and feeling like I'm going to have a massive coronary on the ice.

Two: To look good naked. Well, to look BETTER naked than I currently do.

to get back into to all the clothes that are hanging in the closet from two years ago...

to say goodbye muffintop....hello knit clothes...

to enjoy my 30s instead of always being focused on my weight...

to get back to the hot me thats buried down in there...that girl that used to wear bikinis..dance without wondering whose watching....like the lights on...and show the thigh tattoos...

i dont want to be at risk for heart and diabetes issues...

to ease my back pain....

To be able to buy the clothing I actually like.

To feel sexier.

Lately, I have been getting asked out by very large guys.  Or really old guys.  Or really unpleasant guys.  With not much in common with them.

I'm getting the feeling its because I need to lose weight and they assume I'll go out with them because I don't have any other options.

I'm really tired of that.

Because I have NEVER been able to wear a bikini. Maybe at like 6 or 7 but that is just not the time.

When I walk across campus with its 150 stairs at our 4400 elevation, I start running out of breath. And no one else I'm walking with does.

I want to be able to run for longer than a minute or two without needing to stop and walk.

I don't want this blob of fat muffin top/spare tire anymore.

I don't want my legs to rub together anymore.

I actually want my boobs to shrink so I can buy bras.

I want people to see me as healthy and not unhealthy and overweight.

I don't want to feel like people are judging me when I eat unhealthy, when the desk creaks when I sit down (even though it's the only piece of crap desk in the room that creaks), or when my footsteps come pounding down the hall (I have runner's knee and after it healed up with some exercise I still walk a bit funny like I did when I had it).

I just don't want things to creak anymore.

I don't want things I sit on to have big huge dents in them.

I don't want to have to slide the scale past 200 at the doctor's office. 150 is fine!

I want to look just like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. =D

Instead of having my guy friends tell me, "You're not fat." when I say I am, I want them to say, "Girl, you are smoking hot, you look just like Lara Croft, except you're kind of...blonde" lol

Yes. That's what I want. Except I might not get to lose my boobs if I want to look like her. Oh well. I guess they can stay.

Besides having the confidence knowing that I'm going to KICK ASS at whatever I do, I stand by two words:

WHITE BIKINI!

1. Because I want to look like the serious athlete I am. 

2. Because I remember how good I looked almost 30 pounds lighter!

3. Because I want to be able to wear spandex shorts without them travelling up into the netherlands from chub-rub when I run. 

4. Speaking of running - I also want to be able to run in just a sports bra and shorts during the summer.

4. Finally, because I love fashion and I'm very limited by my inability to wear anything close-fitting in the stomach area.

1.  I want to lose weight so I'm not too embarrassed and ashamed to join the pool club this summer

2.  To feel proud of myself

3.  I like (maybe even love) myself again

4.  To buy nicer/higher fashion clothes in normal size

I want to feel pretty.
I want to fit into my old cloth.
I want to eat a slice of cake and not feel quilty for it.
I want to go out in public with out feeling embaressed.
I want to get compliments instead of rude comments on my size.

:]

i want to feel comfortable in my own skin

wear fashionalbe clothing and look good in them

wear a bikini and not be embarrassed

i want hot guys to look at me and be like "damn, she has a nice body" haha

A BETTER SEX LIFE AND BETTER SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First and foremost to be healthy.

Also just to feel confident again. To be confident is one of the best feelings in the world. In the past when I was slim I took it for granted with feelings that I was still fat. But, now that I have actually been overweight I would kill to be back where I was. I am NEVER going to take it for granted again. It took me to gain weight and become overweight to realize that, but I've learned. F***, the negative HollyWEIRD image. I know what slim is now and what is unhealthy. I want to be slim and healthy and I'm going to enjoy every damn aspect of my weight when I finally get there. :)

To feel hotter.

To get guys who think I'm hot. (Yeah, superficial but totally necessary.)

Branching off that-- to get guys who are fit and active themselves.

To feel better.

To be able to work out with more ease.

To fit back into size 0-2 pants.

To look DAMN GOOD in a bikini. (Im on my way!)

Because I'm vain and I like to receive compliments and be told I'm pretty =D

To wear pretty clothes.

To look sleek and not bumpy in booty shorts and a tank top. =)

And a wholeee slew of other reasons.

I want to lose weight so that I will not live the last 10 to 15 years of my life as a sick, weak, dying individual dependent on drugs and other people for the basic daily functions, such as breathing, eating and going to the bathroom.

I want to be the strongest, quickest, healthiest old woman in history!

So, I'm taking care of business, NOW.

Y'all have a good one! 

to be the best me that I can be.

To fight against my family history of heart disease and cancer.

So I won't have to strain to button all the pants I bought last year.

To be strong and athletic again.  To be able to knock out that three-mile run with ease. 

To look like I can kick anyone's ass even though I'm only 5'1".
