I'm losing weight for ME!
I no longer want to hate the image in the mirror.
I do not want to be out of breathe walking up stairs.
I no longer want to be 25 with high blood pressure.

I have several reasons that I want to lose weight. Not to sound selfish, but most importantly, for ME! I have always been overweight and now being 25 years old, I finally feel like I deserve to be healthy and happy! I have been through a lot over the past few years. From going through an abusive relationship (he made me feel like I wasn't worth anything), to moving back to my hometown (which actually was a good thing), I ended up reconnecting with a high school sweetheart (we are now engaged) but we recently had a miscarriage (early Feb. 2012). I have always had issues with my self esteem and I have had issues with depression. I have gained a LOT of weight over the past 2 years. I am at a place in my life where I am happy again. I just want to look as good as I feel. My fiance and I will be married next year (09/28/2013) and I want to be the beautiful bride that I know I can be! I saw someone else on here who said they had a miscarriage as well. That is another thing I NEVER want to go through again. I want to be healthy for my future babies!

- Feel comfortable in my skin.
- Fit in my old/new clothes
- Sleep without having breathing problems.
- Run again without feeling out of breath
- Wear a bikini this summer (:
- Don't feel awkward when being intimate with boyfriend cause of extra skin. (avoid to punch him every time he caresses my stomach)
- Wear dresses and shorts and skirts again
- Show myself I can do it without provoking any harm to my body or my family, in a healthy way.
- Learn to prepare my own meals.
- Become balanced and set limits.

- To be healthier and have more energy (so far so good)
- To be able to wear the clothes I want to wear . . . like shorts - spending a week in New Orleans over the summer and going to disc golf tournaments with my now ex over this past summer and unable to wear shorts was a real motivator for this.
- Related, to look sexy in my hockey jerseys instead of butch . . .
- To be more attractive to men - not that I'm losing weight for THEM - but I want to get married and have a family before I'm too old to do it and enjoy it - and the healthier I am the easier that will be all around - from being attractive to the right guy, to being better able to have kids, and then to keep up with them after I have them . . .

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping to lose weight so that I feel confident enough to start rock climbing. I hate that my weight is preventing me from doing activities that I love and doesn't reflect how strong I am. I also simply like the way having less weight on my body feels, I'm a bouncy person and it's easier to bounce around!

Hi Shannon! I want to lose weight mostly for self confidence reasons -- I have been my ideal weight before and so I know how I feel and look when I am "at my best." I just want to get back there :) From that comes more confidence in my career, my love life, and even my day to day (less weight to carry around on jogs, more comfortable doing water activities in summer, etc.).

How about you? What is motivating you?

- Lauren
