What Made You Want To Lose Weight?

[Rainbowbear]

My motivation is

1) to help running a 5k in October slightly easier (I'm a running newbie)
2) health - currently fighting cancer and helping to get to a healthy weight is good for me and also gives me something positive I can help fix without drugs
3) to feel better in my own skin

1- My back problems got so bad i could not even play, walk or have much energy for my kids 2- My knees started to swell and hurt which made my back even worse 3- My husband has been in afghnaistan since march and i really wanted to prove to him finally that i have a grip on my weight, he is back in 3 weeks and i cant wait for him to see the difference. 4 being able to put on a nice outfit and have a nice out with my friends, feel good and have a dance something i aint done in years x

My motivation is the holiday I'm going on soon. I want to look ok in a bikini and feel confident

I eventually want to have children and want to set a good example to them, I don't want to have health problems and pass them onto my own children. They need a healthy mother who will always be there no matter what!
I also lost my nan 2 days ago due to poor health and seeing her in the state she was in has given me the biggest kick up the bum, the weight needs to go!!!!!

I want to lose weight to feel more confident, buy nice clothes, look pretty.. Have to admit I also want my husband to be happy with who he's married to.
And we want to have a baby sometime soon, so I don't want to be this big when becoming pregnant, anyway my weight can even cause me not to get pregnant.

Going shopping and realising you are 2 sizes bigger than the last time you went is not great. I used to be ok with my size until it started affecting my health. Now my asthma is at its worst, I get back aches when I walk, my feet swell and my belly is huge. combine all the above and you'll end up with plenty reasons to want to lose weight.

Now my only problem is willpower!

Another reason, I'd like to have another baby next year and don't want to be told how scans arent that clear due to being overweight...

i want to lose weight to feel good about my self and if i dont do it now i never will my motivation is probably the thought that if you only lose one pound a week thats still 52pounds a year so i dont have to spend my whole life dieting!

My motivation to lose weight is a few things. I want to go out with my children and not have to cover up, take them swimming, to the beach etc. ( 3yrs old and 6mth old twins)
my husband is going away with the army and when he returns in march i want to be 5 stone lighter. I want to be the person i was when we first met. Im scared of losing him. ( first time iv said that anywhere else other than my head)

i want to look in the mirror and smile and not hide away.

i've just lost four stone and you won't believe that I didn't even think I was fat. I was completely in denial about how big I was, and ate and drank to make myself feel good. saw a picture of myself at a ball.. and cried.

feel great now, best of luck in all of your weightloss journeys- it can be done!
