So I saw this on another thread and thought it could be fun.. This is the tread to confess your reasons or motivations behind your weight loss.. Or for any such confession related to your weight loss!!

This is the most I've ever weighed and I'm not comfortable with my size. I don't feel "cute." I want to get back to the same size I was when I got back together with my fiance. I WILL be a slender bride! I want to be a healthy, energetic wife who is proud of her body

I was 7 months pregnant when I got married, and I have vowed that when we go on our cruise for our delayed honeymoon that I will be the slender woman I couldn't be for our wedding!!
I too am the heaviest I've ever been in my life!!
I TOTALLY relate!!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

A couple of months ago, I was around 66kg. Now I'm weighing in at 61kg. Best part is, I have completely no idea how I lost that much weight because I don't remember working out all the time lol. It was definitely a pleasant surprise, especially when I started getting compliments from people. Afterall the last time I was 61kg was almost 6 years ago! And lucky for me, just recently I've found my greatest inspiration when it comes to fitness; Jillian Michaels.

I've always been interested in building muscle but so far all the pictures of muscular women I've seen were kinda... erm... either too over the top or otherwise. And that was when I came across one of Jillian's pictures.

That is exactly the body I've been looking for and am DYING to have. So that is my motivation. I have a close friend who's gonna start training me in March and I really hope to gain some awesome muscles! Really excited!

If your daughter is overweight perhaps you could inspire her to do the plan as well? I started this diet at 19, and am so happy I'm starting to take control so early in my life.

She's not overweight. She is a 13 almost 14 year old girl that has no desire to be active or eat within boundaries. She's not fat, but she's not thin either.. I cook good healthy meals and she complains the entire time she eats them. I try to guide her to be more concious of what she is eating and how much and she automatically assumes I am calling her fat.

I started losing weight again because I do not like how I look when I get past a certain weight, like 145. My self esteem gets really low. So i'm working on changing that!

Advertisement?? I wasn't advertising anything! I was just merely stating my motivation and how I want my body to look like. I have absolutely no reason to "promote" or "advertise" Jillian.. She's my fitness guru, I look up to her. That is it.

My confessions/reasons for dieting: (in no order)

The doc said I was close to a pre-diabetic and a bunch of my numbers were high. So the health issue was a wake up call. Plus, I got tired of being in a room with people watching the news when they talk about obese people. Nobody ever said anything, but it made me uncomfortable.

I felt bad fat. Bigger clothes, don't fit in as many places, less energy, etc. Especially this last time. I have always been on the heavier side, so never completely comfortable.

I want to look good in swim trunks/blend in with people who do. Never have felt entirely comfortable in that setting. Kind of ironic b/c swimming makes me dizzy, but I can do it for a few minutes.

I want to pursue/find a romantic relationship. Never had one, for a lot of reasons. I realize that looks are only a small part of what people look for in a person. And I hope I find someone who isn't overly concerned with physical appearances. But looks do play a part in attracting the opposite sex. Plus, the more confident I am in my own skin, the better I will be able to interact with them.

On a progress note, I have decided to do 4 more weeks on phase 1, then start phase 2. Getting a bit burnt out; have roughly 20 lbs till that arbitrary goal of 180. But I know I am looking good now. Just went to a Valentine's Day dance and got several compliments on how I looked. Felt really good.

Well, my cats are anxious to go to bed. Hope you all have a good Sunday.

Definitely not an ad, whether or not we like Jillian.
