    QOTD Tuesday 9/27/11: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1. I don't want to be bigger than my husband. This is nuts because he is 6'2" and 165 lbs, but I want to weigh less than him. I want to feel smaller than him.
    2. I want to be able to wear anything in my closet without worrying that it won't fit, and for that matter, I want to go shopping and buy things without agonizing over them in the fitting room.
    3. I want to be happy when I look in the mirror

    Thing I will do:
    I want to get pictures taken. I'm not sure what kind of pictures, but something. I don't have many pictures of my husband and I (except on our cruises).

    QOTD Tuesday 9/27/11: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1. Last year's holiday photos were bad and this year's are just the same. I'm sick of hiding my stomach in photos, either with my arm or bag or my kid!.
    2. I am tired of thinking that I only 'deserve' frumpy clothes. I used to wear nice clothes and they're all hanging inthe wardrobe gathering dust. If I could just shake the weight off, I wouldn't need to buy anything new for a long time.
    3. I want to eat healthier. I always seem to feel tired. I want to be one of those people that you see running when the sun is just coming out.

    Thing I will do: Book a beach holiday for next Summer and spend every waking hour of the day of that holiday playing with my son on the sand...in a bikini..and not holding my stomach in!

    QOTH Tuesday: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1. To re-gain my confident and outgoing personality
    2. To fit into all my favorite clothes sitting in my basement (and that INCLUDES my bikini)
    3. To be more active

    I have a friend who does "rock the dress" photo shoots, which is where you do a photo shoot in your wedding dress. You know those photos where people put on their old jeans to show how much weight they've lost? I'm going to rock how much weight I've lost since my wedding!

    QOTH Tuesday: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    - I am a collegiate athlete, so I would love to be able to improve my performance, stamina, and endurance. It's hard to be the "big girl" on the team.
    - I want to feel confident and feel good about the way I look.
    - I want to inspire others (my family) to lose weight.

    I'm going to buy cute clothes for the first time!

    QOTH Tuesday: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1) My health
    2) My stage presence
    3) My overall feelings of self-worth

    I have almost acheived my goal, I celebrated with a new wardrobe already. I think my final present to myself will be new Head shots. But mostly my goal is to keep it off.

    QOTD Tuesday Sept 27: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1. To be healthy
    2. To have more energy
    3. To just be an all around better person (cause I feel better about ME!)

    The one thing I would love to do once I get there is to go on a romatic vacation with my hubby - of course I am out of work and the economy stinks so I may have to make it an weekender in the next county but hey that works too!

    hello ladies, well I had to revise our team list. I moved some people around so please see the update below. I'm sorry for the changes but someone drop out of the challenge and I didn't want anyone to be without a partner.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    QOTH Tuesday: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1) I want to look amazing in any clothing styles I want to buy - or at best I want to look *okay* in any clothing styles even though some will always be less flattering. I want to fit into more stylish things like designer jeans and ted baker dresses.

    2) I love being fit- I want to be able to drop and do pushups whenever I want (ok I can already do this but I want to do more of htem) and reach up and do a pullup at the park whenever I want (cannot do this!). I want the remaining loose puffy fat around my arms and back gone (I am getting close to this ladies, huge improvements here).

    3) ................I have no idea.

    Once I lose it I'm gonna go on maintenance and do that for a few weeks or a month and make sure everything is ok and THEN I'm gonna go buy some clothes.

    QOTD Tuesday 9.27.11: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    1. To be emotional, physically and spiritual healthy.
    2. To set an example for my family and my friends.
    3. I want to look good to myself when I look in the mirror.

    The 2nd part of the question is a good one. I haven't really decided what I'm going to do when I lose this weight. I'm hoping to finally be walking down the aisle and having a baby honestly. Who knows what the future holds:flowerforyou: .

    1. So, I can keep up with my 3 yr olds.
    2. So, I can live longer and feel better.
    3. So, I can have fun shopping again, right now it sucks.

    One thing I want to do when I lose this weight is go shopping, and try on clothes for my husband. :blushing:

    Sorry gals for being behind on the QOT*Day*---somehow *day* translated to *week* in my brain! lol Anyways----QOTD Tuesday: What are your top 3 reasons for losing weight and what is one thing you are going to do once you lose it?

    Here are my top reasons:
    1) I want to be a useful disciple of Christ.....the Bible says that in everything we do we should do it to glorify God....I want my body to be a holy temple for Christ

    2) My mom & aunt have struggled with obesity their whole lives....I want our family legacy to change....I don't want to be obese 10 years from now

    3) I want to fit into my clothes and FEEL good in them. I want to FEEL sexy for my husband!

    Once I lose the weight, I think I'll just go "shopping" in my closet. I have soooo many cute clothes that I would love to wear again.
