    I wanted to get healthier so I could better control diabetes and I kept going. I'm so happy I did :smile:

    I have came up with a way to live healthy, weird schedules, and on a really small budget. I'm doing it because my bday is coming up soon, not feeling happy with myself, back to communicating with a long distance friend.
    I'm starting with getting fit then work on the abs under the body fat.

    Totally to skinny......now that I am there.....I want to be fit. I can wear a size 4 but if I took a picture of my stomach someone would be amazed that I could fit into a size 4.

    I am on maintenance now and plan on staying right where I am at until after the holidays to see if I can just maintain and then if I can do that then I will make my goal for next year to have the killer fit body. :happy:

    I have to admit that my motivation is to get thin. I used to be so skinny and so small before I had to have my thyroid removed, all I want is to have that back. Now, someone is probably going to jump at my throat for this, but I really don't care that much about fitness. To my mind, the fitness is something that comes as a nice side effect to all the physical exercise I'm doing in order to move the number down, not something I'd ever deliberately set off to achieve.

    I do care about being healthy, but to me it's secondary to being smaller. Not necessarily thin. Thin isn't something I've ever aspired to be.

    I want to be thin, fit and sexy. I want to look 1 000 000 $ in bikini and I want to be able to do the crazy yoga poses and run as much as I want. So yes, this is not a matter of "either or" but rather the case of "I want it all!"

    I started out wanting to be thin, because I have been both heavy (most of my life) and thin. I felt better thin emotionally but I was also treated better, less name calling because thin is in.:grumble: After many years of dieting and weight up and down, I have chosen to strive for fit, because I will end up thin in the process and I will be healthy and happy. Some forget that its about being fit and happy, not thin and making everyone else happy, that is where I became lost.

    I had both knees replaced this past winter, and I want to keep them as long as possible so I don't have to go through the surgeries again! Less weight means less wear and tear on the joints.

    And I'm tired of feeling like I'm always the biggest person in the room!
    Pretty much me ( no surgeries -yet)
    But sooo much pain every day.
    Very frustrating, as i don't know if i should just be calorie counting and trying to lose weight, or if i should start building muscle and get fitter/stronger.

    Both. I'd love to be fit but I want to be thin, too. It's sad, I know. I just want to fit into cute clothes and not have my belly hanging out when I sit down.

    Fit! I love exercise and I'm trying to improve my endurance and strength right now. When I was younger I ate a ton of candy and hated sports and physical activity. I was missing out. I don't care if I lose pounds, as long as I lose inches and gain muscle.
