Why Do U Want 2 Lose Weight???


Im want to lose weight because......

I want to be able to walk around the zoo without having to sit down every few steps

I want to be able to zip my jeans without the zipper breaking

I want to finally have a flat stomach again like I did in high school

I want my lower gut to be gone

and most importantly I DONT want to get diabetes and right now Im close to getting diabetes thats why I have to do something about it NOW so it doesnt happen.

For health reasons. I had a serious health scare and I was worried that I wasn't going to survive. I was so sad thinking about the pain I would cause my youngest son (age 14, so still at home and needing me) if I died. Everyone goes thru a few serious challenges in their life. I felt guilty that I would be one of his major challenges. It was a wake up call and any time I think of cheating, I think of his sweet face.

I want to be healthy and I want to be able to do thinks like go swimming and enjoy myself instead of spending that time worrying if people are disgusted by my jiggly bits.

To feel comfortable in my own skin, to feel beautiful! To wear cute clothes

I want to feel good about myself again! I work in an office, sit all day, and we all love to eat!! In the 13 years I have been there, I had gained 60 lbs! So low carb works for me, but it is a constant battle with all the food rewards, carry ins and donuts in the morning! ARGGG!!!

I never want my kids to have to terminate my life support(like I had to for my dad) because I didn't take care of my body. I want to teach my boys what being healthy looks like and encourage them to eat right and exercise. It's so much easier to learn these things when you are young. Yes I want to wear a bikini and be Catwoman for Halloween but those are bonuses for me. My parents are both gone and it was due to poor health choices. Someday I need to see my grandchildren! My boys are my driving force.

Vanity and health, the order of which varies from day to day.

F.

I have PCOS & losing weight is the best chance for me to conceive. That is my biggest motivator.

I also want to be healthy. I want to live a long, active life and not feel 80 when I hit 40.

And I wanna wear something drop dead sexy and make heads turn lol!

For myself, health, family and everything that falls into place... Especially since I've started before and never finished my goal. This is it! No more waiting around..

Just joined and want to STOP losing weight and have it finally click all the great advice over the years! The ups and downs of a lifetime are sometimes more than you can take. Up 20 down 45 up 15 down... I am now reaching 60 and need to feel one weight, one mind, one heart. Let's do this!

I needed to drop 25 pounds:
To lower BP.
To lower sugar levels.
To lower cholesterol.

It happened, but it took a year (when you're over 50, losing weight is a difficult process).

LOL. Exactly what I was going to say. To quote that character on SNL that Billy Crystal used to play, Fernando, "It's better to look good than to feel good"
(But as a mature adult I do know that health is everything)

I want to lose weight so that...

...I can be carried over a threshold on my wedding day
...I can comfortably fit into jeans again
...I'm no longer the "fat one"
...my boobs will be smaller
...I'll be healthy
...my weight won't be used by doctors as an excuse for not treating my problems
...I won't have to lose weight when I'm older and it's harder

I want to be able to move. I suffer from knee and ankle pain because of my weight. I am so jealous of people who can go to the gym and cycle, run, or even walk for extended periods without suffering. I have to walk over an hour a day as part of my commute to and from work. I take prescription NSAIDs to help with the pain and stiffness but it's still hard to live with. Vanity is big, too, and so is disease prevention. But I just want to be able to exercise comfortably because it feels really good to move my body when I'm not in pain.

I want to be healthy. Diabetes runs in my family and I want to avoid that and any obesity related illnesses. I mainly just want to be a "normal size". I've been overweight my whole life, and it's killed my self esteem. I feel like if I can be the right weight for my height I will finally have some confidence in my appearance, even if it's not a whole lot of confidence it will be something. I'm also on a healthy hair journey. At least if I don't lose all the weight I will be able to take pride in having longer healthier hair.
