    Vanity is my number one priority at the moment. I would gladly take 5 years off my life to achieve the body I desire.

    Health is obviously number one. I have PCOS and have been on medication for years. The more I lose the less I need. My number two would have to be just feeling better in my own skin. I want to be able to stop hiding from cameras. I have pictures of all my loved ones but they don't have any of me.

    Because I have chronic lung health issues that extra weight make worse - health is numero uno. I also have health issues that are just BECAUSE I have extra weight. (like a knee problem and a foot problem). AND it makes me have less energy because I can do less with less intensity. So ! Health wins by a large margin - it means SO many things.
    BUT - wardrobe, looking good (or at least better), vanity, the mirror, photos -all those reasons combine to make a number 2. If I have to get older (and I guess its better than the alternative) then at least I want to look better.

    I get it! Why be a woman if you can't have a great closet? I agree. I LOVE wonderful clothes, too, and DRESSING! :)

    Also - because I have conquered so many things in my life, done so many things I never thought I could do and I am having a real hard time believing I cannot control the bulge.
    so - health is number 1
    Vanity Various = number 2 and pure bulldog obstinace must be number 3.

    To me, it is a no-brainer. #1 is health and #2 is appearance. There is a lot going in to both priorities. With health comes ability to do more with less fatigue and exercise more robustly. Along with appearance, you get new clothes, and probably both results give enhanced performance in the sack.

    I'd love to be able to walk around in swim trunks without feeling self-conscious about my gut or wimpy pecs. I've started adding strength training to my walking/jogging.

    Looks. ;) in all honesty. As I feel I look better my confidence starts to soar and I feel more comfortable in my own skin

    1. Health (Just because you don't have any health problems now doesn't mean you won't in the future. Why not set yourself up for a healthier future. We all grow old you know.)
    2. Build strength and endurance

    After health, which will include physical strength and emotional stability, I'm really looking forward to looking like a fabulous mother of the bride in August. At the occasion, I will see my ex-husband for the first time in 10 years. Oh, it's all going to be great.

    I REALLY want to take up less space... & not be ignored that would be nice. We as people respond better to pretty, in shape, people better then we do to obese even not in shape people. Its pure human nature and fact and IT SUCKS. You go your whole life just thinking its normal but then one day you realize WTF? its not normal at all!

    Number 1.

    I have excelled in many things in my life. This has never been one of them. Time for that to change!

    No matter how awesome you think you are, you are either a parent your kids brag about or you aren't.

    Nothing better I can give my wife than for all women to be jealous of her.
