When presented with that question most of us (I hope) would automatically say that we are losing the weight for ourselves! But is there anyone else you want to lose this weight for?

Personally, I come first! I'm doing this to make me happy. But there are 2 other people I'm trying to lose this weight for. One is my boyfriend, we have been together for 2 years and I love him very much. He always tells me I am beautiful, and I know he is speaking honestly, but I want him to think I am HOT!! The other person is my mom. I've been overweight ever since junior high and I know it would make her happy and proud to see me slimmer and healthier.

Me, me and ME!

I want to lose weight for myself because I hate looking this way. Other than that I want to lose if for my fiance' I know he loves me no matter what but I feel like you I wanna WOW him. I also don't want to be the fat mom at my son's school I am afraid this will cause him to be embarassed.

Its all about me baby, but its also for my future children ( I want to be heathly) and I guess partly for my DH I know he loves me and has loved me a size 2 and a size 22 but I would like him to have a wife as healthy as he is..

This journey was mostly for me. I wanted to look and feel better.

Ok, looking "hot" was on my list too. My SO has seen me heavy and thin and could never keep his hands off me regardless of my weight. It's great to be able to wear the things I want to now though.

Mostly for me, to improve health and to be able to do more things. But also for my man. We like to travel and it's darned inconvenient at this size.

I know my extended family will be delighted for me, but they aren't a driving motivation.

ME!!!
I want to like how I look and feal.

The first reason is my health. I want to have grand children some day, so I don't want any sudden seizure to stop this.
Then it is my boyfriend. He has accepted me as fat but I know he would prefer me thin.
Finally some of our friends who didn't knew I was on meds and said I didn't have the strength to do it. I have already started seen their envy.

I can't rank them easily but I'm losing weight for myself, and for my future kids, and for my husband so I don't leave him any sooner than I have to. Pretty standard answer!

Myself, and someday when I get pregnant, my baby. I want to be as healthy as possible before we try to conceive.

I'm losing weight and eating low carb for my own health, happiness and SANITY!!!!

I'm miserable when binging and gaining weight!!

I've tried for so long to just eat normal and I can't!!

This is the only thing that works for me!

First of all. ME. I want to fel confident and sexy and not feel insignificant to other people all the time! I also want to get into modeling (artistic.. fun modeling. Never fashion let's be 98'lbs modeling!).. so I need to be a biiit thinner and toned for that.. plus I need the confidence!

Second.. is yes, my boyfriend. I don't want to feel insecure around him.. even though he always tells me that I am beautiful and I know he means it. I just have this weird idea in my head that since his ex was thin.. I need to get as thin too. And plus.. I dont want to feel all uncomfortable while we're intimate.

But really
ME ME ME!!!

ME!
Sounds selfish huh, but as a mum of 3 Ive always put my family first and never really had time for myself, so therefore always ate quick food, and not taking the time to excersise.
So now my kids are older, I choose the next yr to be mine.

The second people Im doing it for is, my children, I want them to have their mum at the weddings/graduation, children etc.

And lastly my poor husband, who has NEVER complained about my weight and always calls me beautiful.
I want to give myself to him, and be worthy of him.

95% me. But I'd be lying if I tried to deny the other 5% that pops up every now and then: spite toward certain family members whose genes I want to deny sharing, the what-if-I-run-into-an-ex-boyfriend factor...

I am losing it largely for me, so I can look and feel better. But there are definite advantages for DH, since I will have more energy and be able to go hiking and do other activities with him (he is very active so it is nice to be able to keep up with him).
