Be honest! You dont have to describe, but knowing us, we will. I didn't include "Combo" to increase elaboration LOL!

I chose wedding, because my sisters is approaching and then mine, but all are applicable but to make my partner happy. Mike looks at skinnier pics of me and says I looked sick or "not me" or something.

I also voted wedding. I would have picked pregnancy, but that will come after the wedding, so my main motivation is that. My sister's wedding is in October and mine is the following April... so that's that. Ben loves me at my weight and doesn't really care either way. I'm miserable at my current weight and def. want to look better for myself though. I also just generally want to feel better and exercise more.

i picked To reduce health risks/ increase odds of a healthy pregnancy and To become fitter and have more stamina

because i have PCOS and insulin resistance it will (in theory) be easier to become preg if i was healthier. so that is my main goal. also i would just like to be more fit in general. i've never been skinny and i know i never will be, but i would like to be closer to "fit" lol

I voted to feel good about myself. I gained about 15 pounds after my wedding and I'm the heaviest that I've ever been. I feel terrible about myself right now. I also miss being in shape and having the strength and endurance that I used to.

I chose the first one, but really it's because I still need to lose some baby weight. Miss Lily will be a year in three weeks and I'm very close to my pre-pregnancy weight. Unfortunately, I had a couple extra pounds on me when I got pregnant so to be at my "ideal" weight I have (depending on the day, lol) 12 - 15 more pounds to go.

I could do it if I just got serious so it's time to stop making excuses and get crackin'!

I said to get back to where I look good. I feel really crappy about myself, and my weight. I miss not having to suck in my tummy, and I am definitely not feeling the love handles!

To become fitter and have more stamina ~ Need that with a 17½month old

To get back to where I looked "good" ~ I've always been a little chunky because of medical issues but I would like to get down to at least 180 right now, so about 50lbs would be good loss for me. I'd like to be in a size 14 again instead of a 20 (yes Im that big)

I chose 3! To get back to where I looked "good". That would be between 108-120 pounds for me (I'm 5'2 but I look like death when I'm at a very low weight and I start to look fat over 120).

I also chose To reduce health risks/ increase odds of a healthy pregnancy. I'm healthy but a little bit overweight (bmi = 25). I would love to have a bmi between 20 and 23 when we start TTC.

And I also want to be fitter. Because who wouldn't want that?

I chose to get back to where i looked good, because i am 4'10 and i weigh 140. That is a lot. Any weight that i gain shows because i have nowhere to put it.

I chose to be fitter because it doesn't hurt to be more fit.

Lots of reasons why I'm here and in need of losing some serious weight...

To feel/look better for myself most importantly!!!!!
Better health (cancer, diabetes, heart problems run in the family so I don't need to increase the odds)
Healthy/Happy pregnancy


overall I am pretty happy with my life right now but my weight is one thing that definately brings me down - has for years and I am finally done letting it control me and how I feel about myself.

Before the holidays, I was going to the gym 3 times a week and eating fairly well. Things just kept coming up and I couldn't find time for the gym this past week and 1/2. Plus all those Christmas foods and candies.

Like I've said, I'm 155 'bs (umm at least I was when I weighed in at the gym the second week in December) and 5.6". I don't think I'm overweight, but I'm not toned anymore. I hate how so much jiggles I am afraid I'll gain alot more.
