Well, one of the top things on my "I want to lose weight for these reasons" list, is "better sex."
I don't know about you guys, buy I hafta say my stamina in that area has only improved....
Also, we have lots of heart problems/knee problems/diabetes in the family. I want to head that off if I possibly can. Plus, this last Christmas, my sister was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, which unlike viral hepatitis, is a genetic disease where the immune system attacks the liver. She was very jaundiced and spent about 3 weeks in the hospital; we came really close to losing her. It REALLY freaked me out with there being a genetic link, so one of my big reasons for losing weight is to keep my liver as healthy as I can.
I've already shared with you guys about the bridesmaid dress to be squished into by Sept. 4. Lastly, I'm wanting to lose weight to help with finding a new job. I wish the world didn't work this way, but it does seem true that employers respond better to non-overweight people. I can use any edge I can find.
