I mean I KNOW there are VARIOUS reasons why we're doing this...health, feel better, smaller number on the scale, smaller body, etc etc. But if you had one specific little thing to say you're looking forward to...what is it?

Along with everything else of course,
Mine is I can't wait to fit a smaller pair of jeans because I have tons of jeans once I get smaller and can fit that size! haha

    I would LOVE to run a marathon, but the training is so time consuming I am not sure if I can commit to that.

    Otherwise, superficially, I want to wear something in a size 6 - my dream size. It would be all kinds of awesome if I could say I went from a size 22 to a size 6 :bigsmile:

    I am doing this for me, my confidence, and my self esteem, which are all damaged. But I do have a friend's wedding coming up in February 2013 and I so want to wear a beautiful dress for the first time in my life! There will be people at this wedding that have not seen me in like 20 plus years so it's a powerful motivator! I absolutely love clothes and I have not been able to wear my own style since .... well ever really! So I want to find the real me inside this fat coat I have been wearing way too long!

    I've been overweight my whole life. Never ONCE been thin and in shape. I'm doing this to feel good about the way I look...and also for health. Diabetes runs really heavily in my family and I don't dare tempt fate. But honestly, I just want to feel comfortable with my naked body and be able to feel confident in a bikini and any outfit I wear. I don't wanna be known as the chunkier girl anymore. This isn't for anyone but myself. Not trying to impress others, just to tell myself that I CAN change my lifestyle and be in shape! :)

    Obviously my main goal is to not have the health implication that i know comes with being obese. My whole family has this problem, although i am not as big as them i know that i was on the path to being so. But my superficial goal, is to buy clothes that i actually like, not to choose them because they hide my stomach, or cover my arms, or make my bum look smaller. This would be amazing x

    I too would like to wear sleeveless tops and not be embarrassed by 'bat wings'. I also have high blood pressure. I hate the muffin top hanging over my pants, and being short of breath when walking up the hill to go to the main campus at my work. And my little brother is sick, it made me realize how life is so short. I need to take care of myself so I can be around for my kids and grand kids.

    I am trying to get healthy and to a decent weight so that I can finally begin trying to start a family. I have spinabifida, so adding more weight and strain to my back would be crazy--plus I don't want to risk any complications.

    Be Healthy, stop the insanity and be able to accomplish anything I want physically with my body because its not in my way any more.

    On a side note as to things I can't really control...a man that loves me because I now love myself..and to start a family. Sadly the only thing I have control of in that equation is the self love side..the man seems to be ever elusive. But the most important thing is above :)

    Definitely to wear shorts and skirts if not this summer, then definitely by next summer. I've always been super embarrassed by my legs/butt/hips, so it'll be nice to wear lighter, cooler clothes. Pants in DC summers are truly horrible

    My main goal? To keep feeling as great as I am now. To be able to run and play with my grandkids. To wear that bikini this summer. To just have fun. :smile:

    Ok, hope this isn't tmi... and I don't know if I can actually get to this but... I have a small ... bump of ... me, between my actual bottom and my thigh. I'm 5'5" and 140ish, so not too bad, medium boned, but would love to get rid of that! Does anyone else have one of those?

    To wear a bikini in 100% confidence and not have to worry about finding ways to mask certain areas of my body with my clothes (i.e. love handles --> my nemesis). I also want to be able to see how toned and strong I am. I know it's there because I can feel it. It's just hiding under a small layer of fat that will be gone soon enough.
