    my "silly" one is looking as great as i can for our last vacation as a newly married couple. if we start a family next year, then it probably won't be the same for awhile :happy:
    Definitely a great goal. Of course starting a pregnancy being fit makes it a lot easier to get back into the "fit" shape you were in. I'm getting in shape also for that purpose, but also to help myself feel better.

    I love this thread. my SIL is like that too. I hate to speek ill of her right no b/c she is having healkth problems....but one day I took her some cloth i not longer wore. She looked at the size and said "great adn XL I need this I'm teh fattest I've ever been" Made me feel like she thought I was a whale.
  • I think this is silly, but I get pretty embarrassed when walking up a steep hill puts me out of breath. When I went to pick out my Christmas tree, the trees were located down a hill in the woods. After coming up that hill, I was panting worse than the two guys carrying my tree! I was so embarrassed! I think that was the first big sign that it was time for me to get fit. That way, I won't get red faced (in more ways than one) over being out of shape.

    I want to be able to keep up with my family when we go to New York in June. I dont want to be the huffer-puffer holding everyone back from having a good time because I know we'll be walking and walking and walking a LOT while we're there.
  • You know, I joke, but in all seriousness, i would absolutely LOVE to look good in a pair of True Religion jeans. And not even just good...GREAT!

    Ugh! Muffin tops... ugh! I hate that... I've learned to wear the size that actually fits right to not cause those (or at least not make them as bad...) but I don't wanna have to go up a size to avoid fat hanging over my jeans and also have my jeans have to be too big on my butt...
  • Thank you so much!!!

    This is going to sound bad, but I use my friends weights to keep pushing me forward. I remember when I was 230, I used my best friends weight (211) as a first goal, then I over came it. Next I used my other friends weight (197) as a goal. I over came that one too! My next distant goal is another friends weight (155).

    I don't know why, but it gives me some kind of motivation to say that I weigh less than some people. I think this is probably brought on by how these people have treated me in the past. Even though they are friends, they have all said something hurtful in the past about my weight.

    I think I just wanna rub it in their faces LOL!

    I'm a bit of a comic book geek, and Batman is my favorite universe/genre. So... I really, really want to be fit enough to wear my favorite character's skin tight costume! (Her name is Harley Quinn -- the Joker's girlfriend -- , and she's my ticker picture as well as my avatar)

    There's a convention coming up in March that I would love to attend in-costume, so it's a huge motivator :)

    HAHA! That's awesome!!

    I started out on my weight lost journey wanting to run a marathon when I turned 40 - which I did.

    Now, I am the trophy wife :) My husband is a HS administrator and his students think his wife is "hot". It's really embarrassing to me, but he is really proud.

    My next goal is to beat my marathon time - and run at least 3 races this year with my 11 yo. His goal is to run a marathon with me but I won't let him do it as this young.

    Attention and compliments from girls and guys alike. I consider it silly because it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks besides myself, but it still makes you giddy to hear it, lol.

    As much as this shouldn't and doesn't matter I just want to rub it in my exes face that he had a good thing and didn't know it. Now I need to find a good guy who is worthy of my love and affection.
  • tall black leather boots. :)

    That's my silliest reason too! I have declared that once I reach my goal weight I'm buying thigh highs. I don't care how out of style they will be! : )

    I want to sit down and not feel like I can't move my arms without bumping the sleeping businessman next to me. I am getting close!

    tall black leather boots. :)

    Would tall black leather boots look good on somebody who's barely over 5 feet tall?? I think they are so cool but I've not tried on a pair yet.

    Tall leather boots on us that are vertically challaged...they turn more into thigh highs or higher, lol. I can't wear anything more than my combat boots that are knee high. I'm only 5 feet tall, lol.

    Oh- too funny! As you said, this is not why we really do it but when you work out hard- you kind of need to flaunt it.

    My silly reason? I want to jog in a sports bra and shorts in the middle of summer. My abs haven't seen the light of day in YEARS. (14 years to be exact)

    Getting married in 2 months and looking great in my wedding dress!!

    Im getting married on February 28th!!!! Same as you, I want to look great in my dress!
  • One of mine is pretty silly. When growing up, my sister was always the big one and I was always the skinny one. Well, 8 years and two kids (twins) later, I'm the big one and she has lost weight and is the skinny one. I know it probably sounds shallow/silly, but I want to be the skinny one again. Healthy skinny, and the right weight for my body.
