hey im two weeks in and doing well. Its the middle of the nite where i am and im thinkin bout my second weigh in tomorrow.
(wondering what iv lost, wether im doin this right or was last week just a fluke!:laugh: ) Anyway im trying to stay positive this time round and my main motivation is a dress iv bought - size 16 . iv decided thats my reward when i reach each of my mini goals i buy a new top, dress, etc to wear and then throw away an item of clothing that i wear just now. it will keep me going cos if i want nethin left in my wardrobe i need lose this weight! lol

So thats my motivation whats everyone elses.....?:smile:

    My motivation is to one day to know and be able to say that I have totally whipped my lifelong
    tendency of being overweight. I look forward to dancing in the endzone and getting a penalty
    for taunting.

    I look forward to buying "skinny clothes" too!

    I look forward to having my son's arms actually be able to wrap around me to give me a hug. I look forward to having self esteem, self respect and self worth back! I was so confident!

    My motivation is health, clothes, and this upcoming summer (hot weather means fewer clothes to hide in)!

    My motivation is to be able to back to dancing....my costume is a corset and hot pants! I want to feel good when I wear them!

    I love the idea about throwing larger clothes away when you lose weight, its a great idea and means you can't slip back into your old ways!

    I love the pic of the bikini...very hot! Can I be cheeky and ask where it is from???

    I am looking forward to my first weigh in next Saturday...however I'v already got a big nightplanned out next Saturday and am already worried I will go over my daily allowane!!

    Of course you can. It's by a company out here called Beach Bunny Swimwear. They're ridiculously expensive but since I live close to their warehouse I go to the sales they have and got like 4 of their bikinis for under a hundred bucks. They're usually $150+ each piece!
