Well where to begin with mine 
I am healthy but i'd like to be less than a 14-16 again. Im overweight according to the charts that drs etc have.
I have an amazing bf but I worry i look unappealing :( so i would like to be slimmer to help me feel better in myself, I have some baby weight from when I had my daughter which i would love to shift. Mainly i want to feel good in myself again and be able to wear the fashionable stylish clothes that dont appear to be in my size

Among many others, the big reason that stands out for me is I want to win at least 1 gold medal in the olympics.

I am taking a fitness test for sheriff's dept. and need to loose about 30 pounds just to qualify. Beyond that:
1. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin again.
2. I want to be sexually desireable again.
3. I want to set a good example for my daughter.
4. I want to be healthy
5. I want to look cute in clothing instead of having to wear whatever covers me.

~ I want to be able to do things - really do things; like hiking, running, split and stack a whole cord of wood and change a tire on my old suburban (do you guys know how heavy those tires are?!) Oh yeah, and play football and stuff with my boys and hubs.
~ I want to feel good while I'm doing those things
~ I want to have enough energy to raise my kids so they don't get away with stuff.
~ I want to live life fully, being fully alive with lots of memories of me 'doing stuff', not just being on the computer or sitting on the couch.
~ I want to feel confident in how I look whether it's in winter clothes or summer clothes.
~ I also want to live long enough to work on my relationship with God so that there is something else for me after this life is finished.

I think I have the longest list ever:
- I think I would be absolutly beautiful if I was the right weight
- I want to prove that I can do it!
- I want to be able to eat something unhealthy without feeling guilty, and without others thinking that 'the fat girl' shouldn't be eating that
- I want smaller boobs
- I want to fit my mom's beautiful rings
- I want to ly down without feeling my pants cutting into my hips
- I want to truthfully say that I eat right
- I want others to think I am hot (because actually I already do most of the time, is that wierd?)
- I want a flat stomach
- I want my thighs to not rub against each other so I don't get sores anymore
- I want to not feel bloated, or disgusted at what I eat or because of eating too much
Is that too long a list? I hope not...

The answer to this question is probably back pain. And for some reason chicks have the impression that bigger boobs make you look fat.

Back-pain for one (shoulder-pain), but it is also very hard to find bras. Finally, FINALLY they have started to make them in my size, but still, there is a long way to go. I am 15, and actually, cannot remember when my boobs have ever been smaller than anybody elses, or ever WISHING that they were bigger.
I have a small back, and with big boobs, that makes my clothes look strange, and makes me have to buy clothes a size bigger just to fit my boobs. But I have some old bras I really like, and I have put on weight, and that is why I can't fit them anymore. They are very expensive in my size!

Thanks for this topic it's reminded me to set targets and to constantly keep a positive image in my mind....I notice most members have done a list, I have about a thousand reasons for wanting to loose weight but here is my most URGENT reason.
Over a year ago I bought the most beautiful outfit for my daughter wedding, its two sizes smaller than I am in the hope that I would loose weight.....the wedding is in June and I have about 34lb to loose!!!!! Bought Proactol to help and although I'm not sure if the Proactol is suppressing my appetite or the fact I paid a lot of money for them and it stops me indulging!!! I'm not sure. Hope to get some positive results soon.

I have almost 50 written down in a list, but here's a couple:
* I don't wanna be the "fat friend" anymore
* I want to feel like I look good in whatever I want to wear, including skimpy bikinis
* I want to be JLo curvy, not Lisa Seller's curvy
* I don't want to waste people's tax dollars on medicare or whatever for insulin or whatever medications I would need if I ate myself into disease
* I don't want to have to put up with bad knees and joints from having to support more weight than they're meant for

3)I have an amazing boyfriend, and I want him to think I'm attractive.
4)Vacation is coming soon
5)To make my thighs smaller
6)To see some definition from the weights I've been lifting.
7)So my skinny jeans won't make me feel so big
8)So I can fit into a few of my old jeans without feeling "huge"
9)It's easier to get customer service (no joke)

I agree with that! Why oh why do skinny jeans have to be sooo cute but make you feel like such a lardo? I think I'ma add that to my list if you don't care?

8. Make my ex-wife jealous.
I have reached my goal weight that I wanted so bad. Lets see how I'm feeling.
1. I look like Anton LeVey had a child with a Biker.
2. I can get dates with women that just months ago where way out of my league.
3. I'd do me.
4. maybe after I get the muscle I want on my chest.
5. My children call me "skinny daddy" Thanks Mom!
6. I was right. I am to #%@&! good looking to be fat.
7. I run as long as I want.
8. She hadn't seen me in 60 pounds. I had to hear her brag about 20 pounds in 9 months. So I whipped off my shirt in public for the first time.

Hi,
My top reasons are:
1. To be healthy
2. To look younger
3. To serve as an example to others who try to lose weight (so they will be motivated to continue)
4. To serve as an example to my daughter who will get used to a healthy lifestyle from the relatively early age.
5. To fit into my old favorite clothes!
These are my top 5 reasons.

if you could also write your reasons i would apresiate it !!
Well I'd agree with number one and my number two would be that I want it to be easier for my pony to carry me to compete...
Oh dear to number 3 cos I guess I have that one too but it's only been two years in my case! Wish I could move on to your number 4!
And there is my number 4 - small matter of a lovely dress which looks lovely even now but could look better on me! To be worn infront of said man - and might finally cure me once and for all!!!
But I'll stick mainly to HEALTHY and helping the pony in our competitive red mist

these are my reasons..
- wear knee high boots
- wear shorts
- wear mini skirt
- wear sexy black dress
- wear normal sized rings
- take pictures without trying to hide the fat
- tuck jeans in boots
- fit into size 12-14
- weigh myself i weigh using other countries measurements so i dont know how much i am
- try on wedding dress and it to fall off
- wear my belts around hips instead of waist
- have one chin done
- wear strapless top
- zip up all boots
- wear colors
- be told i lost weight by 5 people done
- lose weight by brothers engagementand sons christening
- water in bath to not stay behind me
- wear tight clothes
and something that is harder to explain is to make a feeling go away, a feeling i get when im around thinner women, i feel like a giant ugly and uncomfortable. and i also think people keep looking at me and thinking look how fat she is or that i shouldnt wear this or that, reason why i always wear shapeless black.

5. Because I'm just too #%@&! good looking to be fat.

I like this thread;) All great reasons to be motivated. I've gained a few pounds this year and hoping to lose them again. My reasons for losing weight...
1. So people could get off my back about me gaining some weight.
2. Actually I think it's mostly that 1st reason. Is that bad? hehe
3. To not destroy all my weight loss. And keep good habits that keep me at a healthy weight. I wouldn't want to undo everything I've done, actually sometimes I do, but I guess that doesn't fly with society (the people I know). I also got use to being accepted smaller to want to undo it, though I believe very much in size acceptance.
4. I'd like to not have to buy more larger clothes if mine stop fitting me.
5. I'd like to just stop worrying about my gut and my buttons coming undone hehe.
My reasons seem all negative. Anyway hope to add positive ones someday soon. This whole weight thing is annoying to me.

It's totally ok to have negative reasons. I started the same way myself. Was ashamed to talk about me loosing weight because I saw my overweight and my need to loose it as a huge flaw. Anyway, negativity can be motivating, but the good thing is you discover postitive things along the way as well.
At some point though you will be making a nice salad and stand back to look and the wonderfull colours and think "this is how nature wants me to eat"... or you will be done with a workout at take that cold shower and feel so reenergized.
