Hi!
When I look at the scale you are doing great with your weight loss. It's true that just wishing to get rid of the excess weight doesn't help. The key is to put it into action.
Did you actualy reach your goal?
 
To feel more confident in myself and be able to hold my head up high knowing that I look good.. Also to be able to wear all the clothes I own that no longer fit me and not be the "chubby friend" any longer as all my mates are slimmer than me now!
 
- Confidence boost
- Not feel like crap
- Wear more flattering clothing without looking bad in them
- Impress my friends and bf
 
i want to lose weight and build muscle to show people its possible...as long as your smart and have the right help you can do it...and i help make people money as they lose weight
 
the main reason why you want to lose weight is to feel healthy about yourself and to look good as well. it's not nice to have too much calories in the body.
 
I Love Clothes

I personaly dont think obesity is pretty at all.I want to be a normal size so I can wear all the cool clothes that I stare at in catolouges,but wouldnt be caught dead in at this size.
It effects my weightloss becasue I want to get this over with before the end of my sr year so I can have atleast a few months of highschool where I fell like a normal girl,and also rub it in everyones face who ever called me fat and ugly :p

There are so many reasons that I can list:
Health, Endurance, Happiness, Confidence, Longevity...

But, to be completely honest, I feel that I need to be happy with myself before I can truly be happy with someone else. My weight and self-esteem issues were very detrimental to my last relationship. I want to be happy so I can be happy with a good guy (who won't tell me he'll leave me if I gain "too much weight")

I made my post before reading all of the replies and this one has stuck out for me.

I am 23 years old and I've never had a girlfriend. I am sure others are in the same situation, I know what I want in life and I am to afraid to try to grab it because of how I have felt for so long(16/17 is when I started putting on the weight) and I am at the point where I just can't ever be like that again. I am 23 years old for heaven sakes and I want to be happy with myself so I can find someone to share my life with. I want kids one day, I want a nice house, I want to do all the thing's I've dreamed of but been to afraid until now.

As hard as it is to say all that even on a forum that is my biggest reason. I want to lose weight because I need to be happy with myself so I can go out into the world and take what is mine

I think everyone know's why they should or want to lose weight, it's really a matter of people stepping up to the plate. I've put it off for so long and as angry as I am at myself I learned to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made and turned it around into a positive message. I will never be 265 again. EVER

Hi,
There are many reasons for losing weight.
You cannot wear the stylish clothes.Be fit, like climbing three flights of stairs and feel fine not sweating and gasping for air.
 
I have asked same question to my girlfriend.

She replied that to looks attractive and make me happy, she wanted to loss her weight.

There is lots of reason, when you reach 30 something its a little harder to loose the weight, so most in this age regain scramble to try and loose the weight.

I mostly feel it is best to loose weight for health reasons, a little bit of extra weight is actually quite attractive and should do you no harm at all.

One of my friends was really over weight, when he discovered he was going to be a father for the first time, he decided he wanted to loose weight so he could be an active father playing with his son.
