why are you working out/ getting into shape?

I am losing weight to get back to my normal weight after a horrible relationship. I also have to go to my best friends wedding next year and i want to wear a suit like my pic again. I'm gone from a 46 chest to a 42 and want to be a 40-38 by next november.

Also, I met a girl in town I'd like to date but I need to stop looking a pudgy drunk in order to do so.

What's your reason?

I'm fat.

It's so I don't end up with the beetus like my mother has, and also so I can start wearing smaller clothes and look good for once. I've been studying fashion and can't wear half the stuff I like because of my size.

but im down 40lbs so i have to say im getting there.

I want to be able to survive a sparring session, now that I can only go to martial arts class on the sparring days.

I'm working out again because I was borderline diabetic. Since I've begun exercising I am no longer diabetic and I don't drink soda anymore.

look better in clothes
look better naked
perform better in physical activities (being able to carry a girl upstairs to your bedroom has very practical applications)

I'm working out so I don't look like everyone in this fat state.

I just want to be more awesome in every way. Strength for its own sake, muscle size to match my beard.

While there are many factors, such as my grandfather died due to heart/lung problems, and the fact that my whole family are generally fat fucks, as well as the gained ability of doing things without tiring out and generally healthy, the actual main reason as to why I'm losing weight is pretty shallow(in most people's eyes):

Girls.

I've never had a girlfriend, never had a girl make friendly conversation with me if they didn't want something from me(money, computer repair, work-related), never had a girl initiate any conversation with me, etc etc. I could go on, but there's no need. Why?

Because I'm changing. While it's a small step in the right direction, achieving a normal weight as well as being "easy on the eyes" is all towards the goal of someday having a pleasant conversation with a woman. I'm not even interested in sex anymore as the primary factor of being with a girl(it's a factor nonetheless). I can say I've finally achieved my goal when a girl asks ME out. Until then, time to realize that this is my own fault for the shape I'm in, and time to fix it.

I think its just amazing when you start to realize how strong you've become. Lifting things that were once heavy have now become light as a feather.

Its seriously torture on my off days, I do work or go to school so the Gym is pretty much my only fun in life.

similar...ony i have many hobbies...i love seeing my body progress.

I started working out for girls, but as i worked out more, i literally stopped giving a shit, i was too busy looking at myself, as i lost fat and actually build up my muscles.

and as all idiots like me come to realize...looks doesn't mean shit...i've seen enough fat slobs be with wonderful chicks that i no longer work out for girls, i work out to look at myself in the mirror.

at the moment, i weigh 135lbs. my goal is to return to my weight of 127lbs last year, or maybe 125lbs as a new goal.

the reason being is that i started buying a whole new wardrobe to celebrate my new size when i dropped 30lbs. now that i'm gaining weight again, everything is starting to feel a little tight. so i sure as heck am not buying new clothes again because of that!

Geez, I could lose 8 pounds in two weeks by diet alone. Girls have it easy (unless you are a fag.)

i is a dude, and i like my clothes! hrrrmmmph!

my body hit its plateau for weight loss at 127lbs, so i started to gain weight because i haven't been strict with my diet. coupled with the fact that i haven't hit the gym since September.

My only real ambition is to join the army and be a para, but because of pulmonary valve stenosis and ventricular septal defect I can't join the military. My dreams are shattered. I work out to prove to people I'm fitter than then, despite having two congenital fucking heart defects.

I started running because a friend wanted some company. I stuck with it and suddenly it was a part of my daily schedule. At first I thought it might be fun just to improve my stamina but then I noticed I started losing weight too. I used to be the fattest one in my circle of friends but now it's the opposite.

I'm hopefully going to Canada next year so I'm slimming down and toning up for that.

Oh, and I want basic better health and self esteem.
