Less health problems.

this is the entire deal for me. i live with chronic lower back pain every day, and the heavier i am, the more strain it puts on my back and the more it aggravates my pain. so i'm committed to shedding weight solely for that reason. losing weight will mean less pain to manage. once i get down below 200 i think i'm gonna try to find some very low-impact back muscle strengthening exercises that i can do that will hopefully help with managing the pain too. stronger muscles should bear the burden better i'm pretty sure.

This would be it for me. The prospect of getting diabetes is also a horrible one. Obviously there's a lot of complications there (nerve damage, organ damage, etc). But I would really just hate having to test my blood sugar and administer insulin all the time.

I imagine walking around with extra weight does put a lot of strain on the joints and whatnot and lead to pain. That's not fun.

I know the amount of effort and the time it takes can be pretty intimidating too. But it seems like almost every day on Reddit you see people posting about how they lost 200lbs in the last year or so. It can be done, you just need long-term goals. You can either lose it in a few years or roll the dice with staying the same forever. Really though, the weight loss would open a lot of doors for you.
