So many reasons and so many that were all ready mentioned but besides my family, it's mainly for the way I look and feel. I too hate being "the fat friend", I didn't used to be but now that I am, it's one of the worst feelings in the world. It's funny how the bigger you get, the more invisible you become. I hate it.

The progress I've seen so far is totally driving me to keep with it. So, I guess I'm my own inspiration.

Alibran will become famous soon enough
Why did I start? Because I hated the way I looked, and I was convinced all the slim people were looking at me and thinking, "isn't she fat?"

Why am I doing this now? Because I'm enjoying it. I don't feel fat any more. I feel like someone who's getting fit. And because I want to look good. (It's a huge change from when I started out wanting to not look bad.)

My inspiration? Everyone on this forum who is working hard towards the same goals. If you can do it, so can I.

Just in the few people who posted on this thread, there's been over 320lbs lost! That's amazing.

Staying motivated to lose weight has been so hard for me...I do well for a while then fall off track. I thought I was one of the only people who had that problem...but it seems like a lot of people struggle with it!

I'm doing this for many reasons...I want to look good, I want to feel confident, and I'm tired of being self-concious of my body. But mostly I'm trying to do this to prove that I can do this and I can stick to a goal. I know it's going to be hard but I feel good enough about it already just choosing to be a part of this and knowing that I have control over myself and my habits!

why am i doing this?
well i'll tell ya mostly because i missed the old me.........as i gained weight i lost my self-esteem and my spark, I felt ugly and undeserving. One day i looked in the mirror and thought "who the hell is this person? Cuz it ain't me!" Now everyday i see a little of the old me comming back.........the intensity of my personality returning and my drive, the sassy young (youngish) woman i am, not the sad sack i had become............and that inspires me!!!

nice topic, and a nice place for me to use up my first post

My biggest motivation is my bestfriend, who is a girl. It may seem shallow, or extremely shallow, but I think she'd like me as more than a friend if i wasn't a slob. Also, my family is overweight. Since i started striving to be a healthier/more fit person, they have actually started to pick up some of my habits, and found motivation of their own . Not to mention the nice new clothes I'm going to reward myself with when i DO hit my goal. Which i will :]

I have a great personality, im a funny guy, and im extremely confident with most other aspects of my life. Fitness just isn't one of them, and I can't wait to hit my goal weight, take a deep breath, and have a bit of a fresh start.

goodluck to everyone with their goals

My big motivation to lose the weight? At the gym that I was a member of, and now work at, they do a fitness evaluation when you sign up. The fit tester told me that I had 109 lbs of fat on my body. That scared me, and thinking of the health matters that could arise if I continued at my current weight.

I want to ride. End of story.

and I want to stop being the "fat girl" of the volleyball team. One of my goals is to walk into tryouts next year and have my coach go "What's your na....Jacqui?"

I want to be able to be attractive to guys, I want to wear pretty dresses like my sister does.

and I want to be healthy, just for me, so that I can live a good long life without worrying about my weight, and not being able to do things because of my weight. Change now, and reap the benefits later

The main thing that inspires me is i want to be able to look half decent with my shirt off , i am so sick of having to wear baggy shirts that really do nothing to hide my problem ...lol. I also want to be able to run my 3rd marathon , my first and second were way back in 2005 and ive kind of let myself go since then!

I inspire and motivate myself. I have to.. I don't have an exercise/weight loss buddy. I don't have people around me who are really supporting me right now. I'm doing this for me and only me. I'm determined to be happy with myself for once in my life.
