There are many reasons why you should lose weight. In fact, different people aim to lose wait for different reasons. Following are some of the most common reasons for losing weight.

1-To reduce your health risks: Remember, the more extra body fat you have, especially around your waist, the higher your health risks for certain diseases may be. Simply having a higher than normal BMI (a ratio of weight in relation to height) suggests that you are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and cancers of the breast, endometrium, prostate and colon. Risks increase with waist sizes larger than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women. Weight loss may be one way to help lower blood pressure and to improve abnormal cholesterol levels. Even if you don't have any problems right now, but your BMI is in the "obese" range at 30 or above, your health risks may still be considered high if you aren’t physically active on a regular basis, or if you have high serum triglycerides (a component of a cholesterol blood test).

2-To improve your health: You need to burn calories to lose weight and exercise is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and lose weight fast. Incorporating enhanced physical activity or exercise into your day by walking more, running or exercising to a fitness video can strengthen your heart and lungs and the efficiency of your energy metabolism. This will also help lower your blood pressure, improve your HDL, or "good" cholesterol, and reduce your risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Besides, increased physical activity has been thought to be associated with lower anxiety rates and it also brings peace and calm to your mind and body.

3- To make yourself happier: Losing weight, when done responsibly, definitely benefits your physical health and your emotional and spiritual life as well. One of the first things dieters report is how much extra energy they have after they've lost even 5 or 10 pounds. They also sleep better and enjoy enhanced sex lives.
