Shopping shopping shopping!0

The closet full of clothes I don't fit. I love clothes, and own a lot, but fit in nearly none right now.
Don't get me wrong, feeling better is up there too!0 -
Ultimately all I want is to be healthy. I want to be able to buy bikinis and tell myself "wow you look good". I've been with my boyfriend 3 years now, we talk about marriage all the time but I want to also loose weight so when the day comes I have to wear a white dress I can feel good about myself knowing I look great !
I almost said this too! I didn't want to jinx it and have to wait even longer for that question to come0 -
treating my body like a temple vs. a tomb0
-
I started so I could:
Live longer and enjoy my life with my kids more
Shop
High heels
sit with both legs up in the chair
tie my shoes without nearly passing out
not feeling embarrassed every time I left the house
eat in public without feeling as if everyone is looking
not sweating all the time
walking and not feeling as if I was gonna die
and so on........0 -
Being healthy!!! And of course, shopping for cuter clothes, doesn't hurt!0

I look forward to less pack pain, being able to wear what I truly want, being healthy so someday when we want to start a family we can, believing my boyfriend when he tells me I'm beautiful and to be happier.0

There's feeling better and having more energy but if I'm going to be honest it's clothes.
I remember when I liked shopping and would get an outfit because it looked awesome and I felt good in it instead of having to get something because I've gotten too big for old clothes and settle for anything looks half decent, fits and hides my stomach.
I hate clothes shopping now. Looking forward to liking it again.

All I wanted to do was be healthy at first, but as the weight has been coming off so many more things come to mind that I want. Losing 76lbs I've been able to do the small things.. cross my legs again, cut my toenails and be able to breath and I've gone down 8 sizes! But Now I want more and more... maybe do a "walking" marathon and tone a lot!
That is amazing. Of course you want more. After tackling that and succeeding, you should feel like you can conquer the universe (and rightfully so).

Same here...the cute stuff will never be made in 2XL.0 -
- Being at a healthy weight for the first time in my adult life.
- Shopping at any clothing store.
- Hopefully lose a foot size too. (Hey, I can dream!)
- It's been 6 years since my Husband passed away. I'm finally at a point emotionally where I'm ready to meet someone and hopefully start a new relationship. Losing almost 180 lbs (with 60 lbs more to go) has really added to my self -esteem and confidence in this area.
- Try new kinds of water sports. I love canoeing and would love to try kayaking.
- Fully dressing with my own sense of style instead of settling for unappealing styles mixed in with half my own style.0 -
I like being able to see my belt buckle.
I want to eventually get the Tim McGraw Keith Urban slum but muscular build
There is much work to be done.
On the way and just seeing it getting closer is a great motivator0 -
Where do I start because its all good. No more snoring, reduction in blood pressure to normal level, cholesterol drop of fifty points, new clothes, complements, I eat better food, exercise and most of all I feel great. Sorry if I I am looking back more than forward but this journey is so worth it. When you see it start happening you get to a point and think "I can really do this".0

A sense of achievement from having done a difficult thing0

looking forward to look the way i feel inside0

increased mobility and health.0

-To be able to LIVE my life & enjoy it
-To have people laugh around me and not assume I'm what they're laughing at
-To give my kids all the experiences they missed out because mom was too big (jet skiing, rock climbing, ziplining, you name it)
-To not stay home because I have worries like "will I be the biggest one there?" "will the seating hold me/be comfortable?" "how far will I have to walk to get there? Is it uphill?"
-The list goes on & on0 -
By not being in the category of obese. And just to be a healthier me and get rid of blood pressure medication, (that one may not be possible) and to be able to tuck in a shirt.0

I want to prove to myself that I'm in charge of my life, and I can align who I am with who I want to be. In the past several years I've really done a lot of work on my career, on my approach to life, and on becoming the kind of person I want to be (and who I feel I'm meant to be) but the extra 30-40 pounds I'm carrying is really the last barrier to being the person I think I'm meant to be. It's my last real misalignment and after being so honest with myself and doing so much hard work in other areas of my life it would make absolutely no sense to continue to lie to myself about my weight and the way I care for my body.
And, I want to wear the clothes I love and feel like are more "me," not just the clothes that cover me up and don't make me look terrible. And I want the clothes to fall correctly on my body and not look wonky (attractive clothes just aren't as attractive on me when I'm heavier, at least not to my aesthetic).0 -
Shopping in a regular store for clothing and not having to go to a specialty shop.0
