    At the moment, I am not really try to lose weight but am focusing on being healthy in my food choices and going for daily walks. My main motivation is just to have more energy so that when my girl is on the move, I don't get too worn out.

    Because Im fat

    No serviously I need to lose weight to help with TTC I have been to several specialists and they have all pointed to my weight as a contributing factor. So I would like to lose weight and hopefully get pregnant or at least not have them use it as an excuse anymore

    My reasons are definitely not as noble as some others, rather pure selfishness. I just want to be skinny and have my gorgeous pre-baby bod back. I want to wear skinny jeans. I want to be able to wear singlets without a shirt over the top to hide my love handles and flabby arms. I want to be proportionate so that clothes look 'right' on me, rather than having to search high and low and ending up in tears every time I go clothes shopping because I'm an odd shape. I want to be able to buy clothes online, without having to try them on to see if they will suit my shape.
    I mean, if I were a size 14 head to toe, I wouldn't be worried at all about losing weight. It's the fact that I'm a size 10 in the bum and a 16 in the arms, shoulders and bust, so I look terribly top-heavy.

    I have 15kgs to go until I'm back to pre-baby weight, although I know my chances of getting back to that are pretty much slim to none - my eating and exercise habits are shocking. If I can lose 10kgs I think I'll call myself sexy again

    How frightening Mr Squidipa! Good on you for setting out goals and having a plan

    Afm...same as above...I just want to be in proportion again and not have love handles/flab hanging over my jeans It's weird because I've lost all my baby weight - the kilos are gone but my body shape has totally changed...there is still flab

    I guess overall I just want to be fit and healthy.

    1) Because it feels awesome to be fit
    2) Because I love being able to walk into any shop and being able to buy what I want
    3) Because it's good for my health. I know that I'm healthy on the inside, unlike plenty of others who are skinny on the outside but rotting from the inside
    4) Because I love watching jaws drop when I see people I haven't seen for a couple of years
