  • A huge thing for me lately is being able to buy boots and they fit around my calves!
    Last year I couldnt find any that fit as my calves were too big and I refused to buy wide-width!
    LOL

    So I don't have to constantly rearrange clothes and hug a cushion when sitting down!

    OH MY GOSH!!!! I sooo do that!!!

    also, I want:

    - to be able to scratch the middle of my own back
    - to be able to paint my toenails and breath at the same time
    - stop constantly holding in my stomach so that it looks smaller, this is exhausting
    - to not be smothering hot, when everyone else is chilly
    - to not have my undies rolling down my stomach inside of my pants
    - cross my legs comfortably (almost there)
    - to no longer be shocked (and appalled) at my size when I catch a glimpse of my reflection or see a picture that was just taken
    - to have a more attractive neck and shoulder line. (there is some weird angle going on there that I don't like)
    - to not have my thighs,etc still moving after I've stopped.

    I sure there are more, but that will do for now.

    NOT THIS!

    So if I drop something when eating, it falls on my lap instead of my chest!! I want to wear lighter colored tops without worrying about spilling something on them, and then the stain always being the first thing someone sees!!

    My reason was so I could see my collar bones. Seriously. I always envied anyone who had them showing, so I worked hard to get there. It worked.

    I can now wear sexy off the shoulder, strapless tops all cause I know I have the look for it.

    My weird reason too lol.

    I just said to me BF the other niht I was starting to see them...he thought I had lost my mind!

    #1 weird reason. . .I like it when my rings kinda spin around on my fingers. . .dumb, but true.

    #2 weird reason. . .collar bones/nice shoulders.

    Those are the odd things I think about but never really say anything to anyone!!

    I want my boobs to get smaller. They are HUGE and annoying and I am so done with them!

    Ditto. Losing weight, but not much in the boob department. :(

    Collar bones (they are kinda starting to show, but not enough)

    my legs always looked like fat jiggly things, so i want them to have a nice shape (and it has been working)

    I am hoping to have smaller boobs. When you have a size 44G boobs, it gets hard to shop in the bra department.

    So when I walk next to my husband and our shadows are cast in front of us, mine isnt noticeably bigger (AKA wider) than his.
  • To look better and be healthier of course,however the main reason was so all my gorgeous rings would fit me again.

    I knew I had to get committed on this weight loss for real when all of a sudden I had so many rolls on my back that EVERY shirt looked horrendous. I just hated catching a glimpse of myself from behind no matter what I had on.

    Good news, I have officially eliminated all of the back fat rolls, but now I am working on my strength training to get some real muscles! That should be a much better view :)

    I am with you on everything you said. I hug a pillow everytime I sit and I am constantly adjusting my pants or shirt. I hate it!!! I am throwing all my throw pillows away once I lose the weight!
  • To be happy.

    To know what I was supposed to look like. I've been fat to varying degrees since I was a young teenager, but I've never been at the right weight for my body. I have no idea what I was supposed to look like as a healthy weight adult. It would be nice to know!
  • So I could look cute in sweatpants and a t-shirt and not just look lazy.
  • This is a great thing to think about to help stay motivated. The motivators are not listed in any particular order:
    1) to be able to wear zip-up boots
    2) wear a two piece
    3) wear the new pair of awesome skinny jeans I bought that are just too small
    3) not have wavy arm flab
    4) be able to see the contours of my face
    5) look younger, I always look younger when I am skinnier
    6) love who I see in the mirror
    7) to not feel like the fat friend
    8) so that my tummy doesn't stick out further than my bust
    9) feel comfortable in sleeveless shirts
    10) enjoy it when my boyfriend touches my stomach, sides or lower back

    I don't have much weight to lose but my reason for getting fit and losing any extra weight is because my son thanked me for not being fat, he said a lot of kids in his class get made fun of because their mom or dad is fat. He said he didn't have to worry about that. That made me realize how much bullying as such is a problem and the last thing I ever want is for my child to be made fun of because of me.
  • So I don't sweat though a shirt at work when everyone is reaching for coats and jumpers.
    So I can have a picture taken of me an not want to smash the camera when I see the photo.
    To be able to have a full length mirror in the house and not have it depress me.
    So I can buy clothes in normal shops and not just specialist places online.
    To be able to wear a wetsuit and not fear greenpeace turning up and trying to put me back in the water.
    For my moobs to be smaller than my female colleagues.

    and stealing one from above to not have my underwear get a permenent crease in it from belly rollover.

    ooh and no more distorted belts from the strain against belt loops when sat down.

    To be able to wear those clingly, body hugging dresses and not have any lumps in the wrong places. (not there... yet)

    Cross my legs without them falling asleep. (Can do this now)

    Go downstairs and not feel my belly fat bounce the opposite direction of the rest of my body. (getting better)
