My #1 reason was to stop thinking about my weight issue 24/7.

Being overweight consumed my every waking moment.

I was thinking about how tight my clothes were, how large my breasts looked, how out of breath I was, how these fat rolls look sitting down, what people are thinking, how hot I was all the time, wondering if I smell bad from sweating, if my pants were going to fit in the morning, what am I going to eat next, will I ever feel sexy again, etc...

Those thoughts don't consume me 24/7 anymore and that is the best result from losing 60+ lbs., along with better health, fitness, cuter clothes, being cold instead of hot, being called tiny and thin, and people generally being more attentive and kinder to me.

And yeah, I feel much sexier.

I have lots of reasons: my health, my self-esteem, to be a better role model for my kids. I can't wait to be a size 6!

Omg, this made me want to cry. That's everything I am feeling, everything I am self-conscience about

Of course health is #1.
But I love clothes and fat clothes are just way to expensive. I'll never forget spending $50 on work pants once and around the corner, normal sized pants = $4.99
>_<
I drool thinking of all the clothes I'll get. Oh yes...come to momma.

I finally gave up at the beginning of the year and just resigned myself to feeling like an old-lady who always feels ill and doesn't feel attractive anymore.

I realized I was living the life of my mother (with her own weight problems), and I want to feel my age!

I want to have a family with my husband, and that isn't easily achieved at the weight I am now with my medical issues, and the doctor told me if I lose some weight, that will help things out.

I want to lose weight to prove to myself that it is possible. That it is possible for me to change, that I'm not hopeless, and if I set my mind to anything, that I can achieve it.

This sounds so much like me for the past few years. I just gave up and buried my emotions in foods.

Just losing a bit of weight this summer has made such a difference in my outlook on life. I feel like a participant in life again rather than just an observer.

This is going to sound very vain...but my number one reason for starting to lose weight was to stop me from getting anymore stretch marks on my stomach and arms. Everything else was further down the list.

There's so many reasons I'm wanting it gone. My husband doesn't like my weight like this. I agree it's unattractive and id love nothing more than for him (and me) to be completely happy with my whole body again and not just my face. I think the number one reason is I just want to model good food habits for my daughter. I'm so glad that at three she'll take a plate of veggies over junk any day! I also want another baby but don't want all the complications I had with my daughter (gestational diabetes, hypertension which lead to emergency c-section and not remembering the day she was born because of the meds that kept us both alive). There are so many more, but those are the top three.

My number 1 reason is to live and be healthy. My family history has cancer, hypertension and diabetes. I know that if I don't lose weight and adapt a healthy lifestyle I'm going to kick the bucket sooner than I would care for.

I also want another baby.

Other than suffering with who I am my entire adult life, and hating myself...the final kick-in-the-pants came when my ortho surgeon wanted to schedule my double knee replacement surgery, before my 40th birthday.

I asked him what I could do to put it off and he said, the only thing that will help (not cure) is weight loss. My knees are shot due to injuries (sports in school) and exacerbated because of my weight and lack of exercise.

He was writing on my chart and asking me when "a good time for surgery" was. That shocked my heart - seriously, I felt it in my heart and the pit of my stomach.

Second on the short-list -- turning 40 this year. I just couldn't face another decade feeling so horrible.
