    Watching The Biggest Loser UK or US - any country will do. I identify with the one about my shape/size/weight and see how much better they look and how much happier they are when they've lost some....

    Designer clothes. I know it sounds crazy, but I have always been plus size. For once, I would like to go into a store and be able to at least try on most stuff.

    I am going to see my favorite singer (Eric Church) in November and I want to let loose and have a blast without worrying about how I look and whether things are wiggling. The wrong things anyway. LOL

    my sister. for years she has given me clothes that are too small (picture a very tight size 12 trying to fit into a size 8). she finds it hilarious because she is really thin, but it depresses me a lot. i might really dislike her but the clothes are cute.

    I don't really consider it strange: but my biggest motivation is the anticipation of trying on wedding dresses. I have been on a weight loss journey for 4 years, but 4 years ago was NOT in a serious relationship. I am now and prob will be getting engaged/married within the next year, but I figured 4 years ago, I'd get a jump start on it so that my weight would be one less thing to stress about when the time DID come.

    I have a paper chain (yes, like the kind you made in kindergarten to count down the days until Christmas) and there is a link for every pound down to my first major goal of 200lbs. Every 10lbs the color changes, and the last 10 are red (b/c they are the tougher ones). I only take links off on Sundays, and it is strangely fulfilling and motivating seeing the links slowly come off.

    OOooh! I like this one! :)

    pooping well :) I feel so much better when I do... and that is a result of eating more fruit and veg and drinking loads of water :)

    Mentally - Wanting to live life to the fullest with my son and husband
    Physically - Wanting to ride rollercoasters/water slides without fear of not fitting.
    personally - wanting to not cheat myself out of the best life ever
    Emotionally - Knowing that I CAN do this!

    I want to look nice in my clothes again. I want to be thought of as sexy one more time in my life. It has been a very long time since I felt pretty or sexy.
