Why do you want to lose weight?

1. Health
2. Fitness
3. I want to be able to say "I look good"(and really mean it) not "I look good for my age"

When I started karate we have a student creed we say at the beginning of class:
"I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health."

I truly believe in this creed and have been able to quit smoking after 25 + years of 1-2 packs per day. If I can do that, I can get my health (weight) under control as well.

1. Get back into work clothes (I've been unemployed for a year, now they don't fit)
2. Health
3. to look good. I've been single for way too long

1. Look and feel better about my self
2. To be healthy! Diabetes and heart disease run on both sides of my family.

Amazing, only 2 people put health first. Without health all else fails. Health is #1. Control over myself, #2. Want to prove to myself I control me not the food. Image is #3, want to look good to myself and then others.

Health

And to feel and look Sexy in my own eyes!

2. To have more energy and do more high-energy activities

To some extent, all of my top three have to do with health. Too much fat in your midsection around most of your internal organs is really bad for you, and that's where most of my extra fat is. I want to be at my ideal weight when I get pregnant so that I can have a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby, and I want to be more fit and active which is all about being healthier as well.

Not saying you were putting anyone down, but I found your observation interesting enough to expound on.

1) Looks (which in turn boosts my self-esteem)
2) Better sex (but of course, what a great workout)
3) Health (a great consequence)

Because, as of now, my health is good. Exxcss weight will effect my future health, but I like to focus on more immediate goals

1. Improve health (heart & back)
2. Improve energy level
3. Improve quality of life

1. To look better in a bikini than my friends that haven't had kids yet
2. To fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes
3. To get into the best shape of my life by my 30th b-day

1. To feel better about myself
2. To be the woman my husband deserves
3. To be a healthy example for my baby girl
