Because I'm going to middle school in August and want to be able to fit in the desks. Not to mention changing in gym, and wearing the clothes everyone else wears.

I want to be able to walk without breathing heavily, I want to not get diabetes or have a heart attack. I want to ride a bicycle, go white Water rafting, go horseback riding. I want to be around for as long as possible and be healthy!

Paula - your reasons are exactly the same as mine:)

I agree with the comments about living life instead of watching it. I want more energy and to avoid the major health problems I know I'm headed for.

I also want to go clothes shopping and be able to focus on whether something fits me *right then*. As opposed to wondering if it will fit next month, or if it will be too big('cause of course I'm always planning to loose weight) or too small because I didn't.

So I can be active with my family without my back going out!

So I can go back woods camping again, go for walks without my knees hurting, get rid of my c-pap & diabetes (just found out about the diabetes yesterday). To be here for my children and their children. To not be embarrassed wearing shorts out in public. To fit in the seat at the movies. So I am not the biggest person in my family. To be able to go swimming again and not feel like everyone is thinking that I'm too fat to be in a swimsuit. To know that when people do look at me that they see "me". In other words, I am doing this not only for my physical health, but my mental health as well.
