Do you have a specific reason for losing weight - for an occasion for example or for health reasons in general?

For me it's mainly health reasons and so I'm healthy for my little boy but on a more immediate level it's for the summer holidays so I look a bit better than before. Next summer I'm planning on being in a bikini lmao but for this summer a couple stone off will do me.

What about everyone else?

Obviously mainly health reasons. A lot for confidence, and just to like what i look like rather than be ashamed and embaressed.

A just to be a more positive role model for my kids! x

Mine is just to be a healthier, stronger version of me. Push myself and see what I am capable of achieving.

Mine is because I haven't been happy with my body for a long time, It really got to me when I had my booking in appointment and I had a BMI of 32, I knew I was over weight but putting a number on it really depressed me.

I was 84kg in my booking in appointment, I was told I was "allowed" to gain 9kg from that figure through out the whole pregnancy. I have only put on 4kg so I am happy with myself.

As soon as I can I will be back on the dieting and hopefully exercising wagon!

I got to the point where I just couldn't find anything nice to say about my self, I picked fault with myself all the time, I hated photos and I had 0 confidence, I didn't fit into the clothes I liked and was genuinely unhappy about the way I looked, it wasn't good for me or my children!

So I'm losing weight to change all of the above!

plus I'm getting married next year

When are you due? x

I've always struggled with my weight, and this is just the last chance I have to get it sorted. I became the heaviest I'd ever EVER been and I just seen no end to it unless I did something. I was ashamed, and it was affecting me very negatively, even though I would push it to the back of my mind.

Now I'm feeling brighter that I'm actively doing something about it, and succeeding, even just a little bit

Also for health & confidence reasons of course. I'm 22 fgs, I shouldn't look or feel like this!

Mine is more to strengthen myself and manage my back pain better. I love that we have a lot of varied reasons here! Hopefully we can inspire others to stick with it x

I've a million reasons, but health is a big one. I was getting to the point where I was having chest pains and aching joints. I'm 24, I feel like an old woman!
I'm massive though, I always have been but I was at my biggest when I started again. It'd be great to not be the biggest one in the room all the time!
