I know the overall reason, but there is a underlying motive behind the fact that you are fed up with the way you look.
I've heard because I want people to be attracted to me, to fit back in my old jeans, but I want to hear your reason behind it all.
Does it have to do with getting bad looks, do you want to feel healthier. Give me that deep deep feeling of "ahhh I can't do this anymore"
I know that I truly hated the way I looked at the beach and even in the morning brushing my teeth and wanted people to gawk at my hot bod lol..
But there way more, I wanted to feel better and be more athletic.
Talk to me,
Dave

I want to have kids!
My husband and I have been dealing with infertility for over 4 years, and all my test results come back normal. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to get and maintain a healthy pregnancy, but for whatever reason I can't. Losing weight via eating healthier and increasing exercise is basically our last ditch effort to have biological children. We're hoping I get to a healthier place and we can start over again in Jan. So that's basically why I want to lose weight. Although, feeling healthier and having better self esteem are major perks.

I really don't like the way I look and feel. It wasn't that long ago that I was in a size 6 and it seems like I always had energy to spare. Since I've gained some of my weight back I feel like I'm back to my old fat self. I'm always tired, dragging and so depressed about the way I look. I go to my closet and I have so many great clothes that I can no longer wear.
I want my old self back!!!

| I want to feel better. I feel bulky and tried and don't look good in my clothes anymore. It makes me feel bad about my own image. I am also a professional who deals with the public and I need to have better self esteem so they take me more seriously. It affects your emotional well being as well. I need to lose 25+ pounds and then I will feel better about who I am. Like I have control vs no control.

I have NO idea. Does anyone have a good reason I can borrow?
I know I want to start controlling portions because I have a lot of embarassing memories that I'm ashamed of, hoarding food and overeating and taking whole foods for myself at parties. Like one time we got a little box of popcorn chicken along with the bucket of regular fried chicken, apparently everyone was going to sample it until I grabbed it and ate it alone. Or my mom buying me $18 worth of gourmet chocolates from a high-end store and being astounded the next day when she asked me if there was any left (of course not.)
But frankly, that has very little to do with weight. I think it's just a kind of shame and self-loating. But I'm an emotional eater, former bulimic-slash-compulsive overeater, so it's not going to be easy.

That's a really good question. At first, at least this most recent attempt, I wanted to lose weight to look good at my wedding. I reached my goal (147lb, 5' 7" tall) but was still unhappy.
That's what I weigh now, and would like to lose 14lb. I sometimes think maybe I want to lose weight because being on a diet gives me some kind of control and purpose. You know, as if the journey is more important than the destination. I mean, everything in life can be going wrong, but it's nice to have the reassuring guidelines of how many calories/carbs you can have.
It's almost as if being on a diet becomes a life style I think. I mean I don't need to lose weight for any reason as I'm healthy now, I just want to because it's nice to set a goal and try and reach it.
I guess more important than losing weight is trying to get my overeating/diet cycle under control too. I would like to eat like a 'normal' person.

I want to look good in my clothes and out of my clothes (for hubby only). Honestly, that is my first reason. I really don't like the flab and rolls! I love me but I will love me better without the sag.
I also want to feel good. I want to have energy and control. I know that no diet can prolong my life beyond what the the good Lord determines but I would like to feel my best for whatever time I do live. Eating a poor diet and being fat just makes you feel bad.

That pretty much sums it up for me. I don't look so bad in my clothes, but I just feel 'bulky'. And I want to fitter and healthier too, it's not all about how I look.

| Why to lose weight ... To fit into the nice clothes. :) Not have to shop in the "large sizes" section - although personally I don't think I'm actually a large size, but the shops seem to think so ... Look good. Feel confident!

I wanted to lose weight because I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I also wanted to feel good about myself and enjoy shopping for a change.

| I want to look good again! Apparently, to others I'm still hot, but I look in the mirror and disgust myself. I hate having to wear a girdle! I take pictures with my sisters who are both naturally slim and I make them look anorexic because I am/look so big. there are so many other reasons but just thinking about them is making me want to go to the gym!

This is a very important question, because if you don't have a good reason you can't possibly hope to succeed. My mothers reason is to lose weight only because her family is coming to visit, but that just means she'll put it all back on when they leave?
As for me well.. I'm still very young and to be putting on weight now is not a good sign, and It's deffinatly not healthy. I spent most of my teen years as a very thin person and to suddenly start putting on weight well it's a horrible feeling. I miss my skinny leg jeans!! :( It's horrible becoming a woman!

I lost weight many years ago in my early twenties, 90 lbs over 2 years by just 30 min/4 x/wk exercise and eating all the recommended food groups. I never counted calories or any type of diet, I just decided to start eating like a "normal" person. This was after trying to lose weight and yo-yo-ing since I was 12 years old!
Then I had a baby. I gained all the weight back while pregnant! Horrible. I promised I wouldn't do it. I had maintained my weight loss for 5 years! I thought I had it in the bag. Nope. So here I am almost 2.5 years PP and still have about 1/2 of what I gained to loss, or not, I guess.
When I was maintaining, I felt AMAZING, so comfortable with my body and never self conscious. Sure some clothes were not as flattering but I always could find stuff I looked great in. At 5'9 and 130, everyone told me I looked like a model and being pretty, I felt like one when I walked down the street.
My body never was sore. My health was great. All of my self esteem weight issues way in the past. I loved it! I was finally one of those naturally thin people. I never felt hungry. I always enjoyed dinners out and yummy desserts. Always had a small dessert three times a day, say 2 heresy kisses after lunch kind of small! It was SO EASY. I don't know why pregnancy took away my way of eating and exercing.
So basically to answer the question, I want to lose the rest of what I gained because I felt physically and emotionally AMAZING. Although I know why to dress my body better now than I did in my teens and early 20s, I know I could look so much hotter and feel so much better.
It is just a slow process. Last time it took me 2 years to lose 90. Now 2.5 years, I have lost 45. I may never get as small as I did before but even if I lost 20-30 I would be happy. My BMI is 26 and I feel best when it is 19-20. So I guess I am really just a tad overweight but I like to be on the lower side of the healthy weight for my height.
The other thing that motivated me to join today is that I am going to a wedding and everyone last saw me as my previous weight and I'd like to lose at least 10 lbs to make me feel a bit more comfortable. I don't want to wonder if anyone is thinking, wow she really gained weight since we saw her 3 years ago, etc. etc. I think 10 lbs lost would really boost my esteem and my clothes would fit very nicely but not so baggy I'd have to buy new clothes just yet...

I started my weight loss journey in September 2008. I stopped weighing myself after I had reached 375 lbs, so I could have easily been 400+. I was very unhealthy and depressed; sometimes felt suicidal (but would never do that to myself). I felt worthless. I'm 30 now and had started gaining weight steadily since the age of 9. For the majority of my life I have been obese.
Growing up was very difficult for me. I had very low self-esteem. I was ridiculed about my weight, I lost friends, had trouble making new ones, and I had trouble being social. I preferred to be alone. I hated attention and would try my best to be unnoticed.
My social phobia had become so bad, that it affected my progress in highschool and college. I was too embarassed to sit at the small desks, for fear I wouldn't fit or it'd break. I despised presentations and getting up in front of the class. At times I felt so uncomfortable in those situations, I wouldn't take courses that involved speaking, or drop the course that I was already enrolled in. I eneded dropping out of college. I was a mess. I started drinking heavily and smoking.
My breaking point came when I developed sleep apnea. It was devastating. I would fall sleep anywhere if I remained sedentary. I had to use a CPAP machine to help me breathe during my sleep. Every night I would pray because I felt like I would die in my sleep. Everyday for about a year, since being diagnosed with sleep apnea, I thought my demise was inevitable. I was constanly using an albuterol inhaler to help with my breathing (still smoking too).
In June of 2008, my depression took over me. My best friend realized how down I had become, and asked me if I wanted to start working out. I told him to give me 3 months, so I could mentally prepare. Almost 3 years later I've managed to lose over 160 lbs and I'm still losing weight. There is so much more to say but, long story short, I needed to lose weight to experience and enjoy life.

Body image and self esteem plays a huge part in trying to lose weight. If you don't have a positive mental outlook getting motivated can seem impossible. If you're looking to lose weight improving your mental well being would be a good start.

I want to lose weight to look comfortable. I want to have a sexy body that is good to see by others. I am tired of wearing large shirts and pants. I breath very hard when im full. So thats why I did my best to lose weight.

| I just want my abs back. I've never been to type to care about socially accepted images for what's good. I have no problem talking to or dating, I've always been athletic. Once you do a sport, it's almost impossible unless you're old to not want to be active. So, I'd just say the body is appealing to me. Plus, people can do certain things when they're fit that they probably couldn't do as much of when they have so much weight.

as for me, there are lots of reasons, and yes, some of them are for vanities sake. i know i have a better attitude when i feel good about myself. i don't want to have health problems in the future or present. i don't want to burden others because of my poor choices. i want to be around a long while for my hubby and the rest of my family. if i ever get knocked up, i want to have good habits in place to pass on to my children, as well as be in prime health for a good pregnency. i want to look good in clothes. i want to have self confidence again. there are a plethora of reasons and sometimes it takes listing every single one of them off when i am having a rough time of it or am lacking motivation.

I want to lose weight because I don't want to be my mother. She's been obese most of her adult life and at 67 she has debilitating problems with her knees and feet that make walking very difficult. She and my father have always dreamed of traveling but they can't do much of that now.
My husband and I would like to travel too, and for that reason I'm keeping an eye on my weight and trying to halt burgeoning problems. (My knees are much happier with me lately!) I can't imagine traveling to London or Paris and not being able to walk around and see the sights.
I don't care much what I look like really, but I am very interested in feeling good!

For myself weight loss would be a symbol that I could possibly do something right. I know in the past I haven't had to many issues, but then over time those things can change. I feel disgusted with myself, I am not comfortable in my own skin and often times it makes me feel so sad to think that at one point I didn't have such weight issues. It crept up on me gradually. The first time I lost weight was after I stopped taking medications, which had been bringing up my appetite. I kicked those to the curb, anti-depressants, bi-polar disorder, and even tranquilizers. I haven't looked back since, but now I feel it to be a bit more of a challenge.
To put it short and sweet, I want to feel better about myself.

Folks, count the number of times you say I me or my in this thread.
I may have missed it but I did not see one altruistic reason for why any of you want to lose weight.
One poster referred to it as a journey. It is not a journey. Getting to and maintaining the correct weight is a matter of eating the right amount of calories each and everyday. It really is that simple. You don't need motivation you simply need to drop the excuses and convoluted BS and do it.
There is a tough love forum on this site. You would be wise to read it along with the success forum. It's what you all need.
Stop the excuses and stop the chatter and get down to learning the very simple mechanics of weight loss. It is never a good idea for the blind to lead the blind. I am not blind and I see you all better than you see yourselves.
There are two ways to not be fat.
1. Learn what lean people do and then do it.
2. Watch what fat people do and don't do it.

You asked for an altruistic reason, maybe this will work. When/while I lose, maybe I can help my best friend do the same. She's diabetic and heading the way my uncle was. Oh ****, no, I'm not letting it get her too.

Why does there have to be a altruistic reason for losing weight?
You're not gona motivate the obese to lose weight by converting them to philanthropists. Personal reasons are the EASIEST and most POWERFUL to stick to so if someone says "I want to lose weight for ME and I want to be . . . and I want to look . . " then good for them. After to anyone losing weight its YOUR BODY and YOUR EFFORT, you don't have to do it for anyone else for your effort to be noticed/genuine.

I want to get back to the weight I was when my bf and I got together three years ago. Since then I've gained like 18 pounds and I am not fat I don't think but I used to have a pretty good body and I miss that!
I also miss more than anything the self esteem and energy I had when I was in better physical shape. Too much junk eating has led me to laziness and complacency that I don't want to dominate my life anymore!
I am 5'7" and want to go down from 158 to 145 :-)

For the first time in my life I want to look in the mirror naked and think "#%@&! I look hot". I think that's the main reason.
I want to get an awesome body before I start to age.
I want to be really fit.

2. Watch what fat people do and don't do it.
First of all, please know that just because someone wants to lose weight does not mean they are fat. There is a distinction and I think you are lumping multiple types of people into one category.
Secondly, people are people and not machines. Calories in and calories out does work, yes, but there are many other extraneous variables in the equation that can make sticking to this formula easier or more difficult depending on the individual's genetics, needs, and personality.
Third, many people who are overweight have problems with food addiction or eating disorders, and these are mental problems that people can't simply "cut out" or "get over" without professional or strong personal intervention that goes above and beyond what a normal diet and exercise regime can achieve for a person without these disorders.
Don't get discouraged folks thinking that this is going to be easy. For some it might be, for most it won't. And for everyone, staying positive and knowing your own body and mind are great first steps towards learning and living a healthier lifestyle. :-)

Hi Heather,
Having kids is one of the best motivations I can think of. Kids are wonderful. I am sure you will find your way to having some.
I am not a doctor, but it seems to me that a really good and healthy diet would help getting pregnant. I was also wondering if you had checked out herbs. When I was breastfeeded I got a lot of help from an herb to keep the milk flowing. I remember reading about herbs that may help with conceiving. Just a thought...

I wanted to lose weight so that I wouldn't be embarrassed at my 35th college reunion. I ended up losing 40 lbs, went to my reunion and had a great time. There was only one thing wrong. You wouldn't believe all the old people they invited to my reunion.

LOL Professor Tom. I guess your peers are no longer young agile things lol.
For me yes it is appearance but it is also for other reasons.
My partner lives on a property which has hills and I have at my heaviest refused to walk up to the top and have cried in pain from walking them while my partner just walked briskly by without so much as a moan.
Also sex, yes I'm being blunt but I want to be able to move like the sexy goddess I'm supposed to be. Not just jostle a few minutes and then cry out from my muscles hurting ending the session.
I might add that I want my confidence back as well.

Vanity, pure and simple.
Yes I am enjoying the benefits of a healthy lifestyle but when it comes down to it I must admit its all about external appearances.

When I first lost allot of weight is was cause of the way I felt. I got out of breath doing anything. I didn't even want to walk across the room, much less do anything else.
My aaaahhhhaa moment was when I purchased some new shirts in my size and didn't try them on. At home I put one on and then a little while later I changed cause my gut was bulging out of it. :( I still have that shirt and it fits me now. :) But, I remember feeling very bad at the time and didn't really like myself and what I had done to my body.
Of course I want to look hot...who doesn't. But, that wasn't really why I did it and why I try to maintain and keep the weight off.

| I want to lose weight so I feel better both physically and emotionally. I don't feel good about myself at this weight and I don't feel right health-wise. Even just walking feels awkward to me, like I'm just carrying way, way too much weight and I need to shave my figure back down so I feel comfortable.

If I am totally honest it is because I want to look better, because I have been in killer shape before, and gained 28 pounds in a bad marriage by emotionally eating :( I gained quickly, so it was hard to watch my body go from what is was to what it is now.
It's not just to look better though. My body is sacred, and I want to treat it as such and put good things into it.

Personally, for me, I'd have to say that it's the boost in my self-esteem I've felt
when I lost weight before. Having people compliment me on my appearance and
success for the first time in my life made me feel great ! Of course, there is the flip side - the disgust I feel now that I've allowed most of the weight to come back on but I do know that I can do it again and this time I have a maintenance plan which I didn't before. Tied with the self-esteem boost is definitely the health benefits. I want to minimize as much as possible current and future health problems related to my weight, I've already got enough of those

| Why do you want to lose weight..... you should not over weight... because, over weight causes so many problems and diseases.... diseases like BP.. heart attack..... so we should lose our weight if we are over weight to our age......

I want to lose weight and get to a healthy body fat percentage as my final effort to cure my chronic pericarditis and recover from open heart surgery. I know if I am a healthy weight, my heart doesn't have to work as hard, so I'm doing everything I can to get better. I've cheated death literally too many times to count at least ten times. And not like little minor "aw I got a boo boo" things but literally bed bound, can't breathe, walk, excruciating pain...
But yeah, that's what keeps me motivated, and my desire to lose weight. Even though my health problems weren't caused by my weight, I know losing it will help it. And the stronger your purpose, the easier the journey will be. My purpose is to heal my body. To live.

I want to lose weight to feel good about myself and to set good examples for my kids. Nowadays child obesity rate is extremely high and I would never want my kids to fall under that category. I provide them healthy meals like i do for myself and try to teach them good exercise habits, like playing sports for school etc.

| Daily Take them for walking and jogging. One more tip is after eating anything ask them to walk for a few minutes this could help to not get stomach problems.
