Reasons for losing weight

[diorsmum]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has any other reasons for losing weight, other than the obvious because we are too fat

Mine is to have IVF. BMI has to be under 30. Hopefully I will lose it just to put on again in pregnancy

Awww that's a fantastic reason to do it!! I'm doing it for my daughters sake, I want to be able to keep up with her. Also, sick of being the fat one in the group and want to feel good about myself.
Good luck hun with a goal like that you are sure to succeed!!

Hi, my doctor has advised me to lose weight for coneception as well. Also I want to be a size 12, its been years, I am the biggest of all my friends and I want my confidence back.

I have a few reasons but my biggest reason is my little girl I want to be able to enjoy time together playing and running around and I would be absolutely mortified if she was ever embarrassed to be seen with me in front of her friends......

Well being a man and having three sons I didn't want to conceive! But being type 2 diabetic and losing control of it really got me worried so I decided that I needed to finally do something. Hence the LT. It has been a hard 7 1/2 months but so totally worth it.

Aching joints

Improved self confidence

To feel sexy & ladylike again

To be able to walk into any shop & be able to wear what I want without it having horrible geometric patterns or massive flowers emblazoned across them!

To improve my general health

To get back to feeling "me" again! *Sigh*

Well for the health benefits alone but mainly so I can start living my life! I'd got the point where I didn't go out. I went to work then came home!

I want to go dancing, I want to wear nice fitted clothes and I want to have fun!

Roll on summer

I didnt think you could do this if you were diabetic, obviously I am wrong. Can you tell me whether there are any extra restrictions, as I may recomend it to my mum x

Well I am type 2 diabetic - If your Mum is Type 1 then she may not be able. Even so as a Type 2 I had to get it OK'd by my Dr before the pharmacy?LT would let me start. When I did this diet back in 2000 I was actually put on it via a trial at my local hospital run by my diabetic consultant so I iknw that it's fine for type 2 - Type 1 is a different issue check to be safe.

My reason: I took the dog & cat to the vets one day. I was in a wheelchair, so I had the dog on a lead & the cat in a basket on my knee. Problem was, my belly stuck out so far the the cat basket wouldn't fit on my knee, so I had to get a smaller basket & balance it on my belly, then tie it with another dog lead to my neck. If it had fallen off, I would have strangled myself! I then had the embarrasment of the vet trying to untangle the lead from my hair.
So my reason is, smaller belly means bigger cat basket!
