In General many people know there are two basic reasons to lose weight
1. Health
2. Appearance.
But these two reason just gives a formal answer and not a bigger picture and reasons to lose weight.
I think before you ask a question "Why lose weight", first few questions that should be asked are
Who do you love most?
Who do you care for most?
What do you want for the ones you love and care most?
What can you do to be around your loved ones to give them what they need?
So what you need to do be around?
The answer to above question would help you derive motivation, desire or reasons and an answer to the very basic question "Why lose Weight".

Top Reasons to loose weight
HEALTH
APPEARANCE
Some people despite knowing health is a big concern, they are not really very serious and tend to ignore the fact that they are putting on weight and there is no compelling reasons, motivation, desire that drives a person to loose weight.
In this article I would like to share the top reasons for me that I think of to lose weight. One or more may be yours too.
1.FAMILY
My Wife, my kids, my parents, brother and a sister. These are my compelling reasons to be healthy and lose weight. I love them and will do every possible thing to be around them. Well Love is not complete with just a feeling of love and care, but it has to be in acts too.
My lovely 8 year old daughter and my 3 year old smarty pants ( my son). I can't imagine not to be around them. Both are very energetic and always wants to be involved with me in some kind of sports , art, music etc. For this I need to be physically fit to be able play with them.
My cheerful wife, who is always there with me in happiness and sorrow. I can't imagine not growing old with her. Cherishing the memories of life spent together.
My Parents - who were always there for me when I was a kid and now its my responsibility to be there for them in their old age. To support them financially , physically and mentally.
My Siblings - who always count on me in their difficult times..
So these are the most important reasons for me to be healthy enough to be around them in good and bad times of life.
My wife once told me that, "for the world you are someone, for someone you are the world" and yes this is my world and I would do every thing to be with them as long as possible.

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems.WHO 2000 p.6 Body mass index (BMI), a measurement which compares weight and height, defines people as overweight (pre-obese) when their BMI is between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2, and obese when it is greater than 30 kg/m2.WHO 2000 p.9
Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused solely by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass.
The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. To supplement this, or in case of failure, anti-obesity drugs may be taken to reduce appetite or inhibit fat absorption. In severe cases, surgery is performed or an intragastric balloon is placed to reduce stomach volume and/or bowel length, leading to earlier satiation and reduced ability to absorb nutrients from food.NICE 2006 p.10?11
Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing prevalence in adults and children, and authorities view it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Obesity is stigmatized in the modern Western world, though it has been perceived as a symbol of wealth and fertility at other times in history, and still is in many parts of Africa.
