What motivates you to lose weight? I want to:
1) take extra pressure off my bad knee
2) feel good about my body
and admittedly
3) look good in fashionable clothes

1) I want to be healthy. 2) I wanted to be respected by people at school. 3) I want attention from guys. 4) I want to be able to wear fashionable clothes. 5) I want to be an actress when I grow up. (Not that you can't be a fat actress but I mean how many of them are there, not very many!) 6) I want my family (parents and grandparents) to stop hinting to me about losing the extra weight. 7) I want to make the Volleyball team in 8th grade. 8) I want to make the Softball team in 8th grade. 9) I want to do better in gym class. 10) I want to be happier with myself. 11) I want to be able to walk/run a while and walk up the stairs without huffing and puffing. Ok well that's all I can think of right now.
