Good question, Valerie! I have lots of reasons, probably too many to list.

- I like wearing sexier clothes... mind you they aren't really "sexy" yet, but I feel sexier wearing them
- More endurance - I can walk longer and am overall much stronger than I used to be
- No double chin!!!
- I can fit in those little plastic patio chairs (that was a big one for me)
- spending less money on new clothes
- not hitting the bottom board in my waterbed

and most of all, feeling like I'm normal now... I don't stand out in a crowd. Of course, now I look forward to standing out in a crowd when I have a really nice figure.
