    When I go out with friends to a bar or club (or any social gathering, really), I'm the invisible one. They all have wedding rings on their fingers and I'm the one that gets ignored. I'm tired of being invisible.

    My birthday that's around the corner is my present motivation, I want to be my husband's pretty wife instead of just his funny wife and I really really don't want to be the fat sister anymore!! I would be ok with just being the older sister :)

    wow some people have a lot of resentment built up...

    I don't have any malice toward anyone that may have helped me realize I need to get in shape... regardless of their impolite technique. Then again no one has ever teased me incessantly so I don't know what that feels like.

    To be honest I guess my superficial motivation would be to gain the confidence to go after a stupid boy. I just don't know what else to do...

    Come on, no one eating to show up snarky co-workers or others?

    Well, this is little motivation in the whole scheme of things but...

    My husband's Ex and her BF are motivation for me!! :) Lets just say she is very HIPPY and goes to the gym and doesnt lose the weight (because she STILL doesnt eat well)...while my husband says I look better then her any day of the week, still, she is blonde hair, blue eyes, and pretty good skin...and I just have personal ISSUES with that Stereotype. :-)

    OH, and my Mother-in-Law who, everytime I dont go get a 2nd plate at dinner, looks at me funny. Also, I would like my husband to REALLY lose the weight becuase she keeps saying he is pre-dispositioned be be heavy and he is SOOOO capable of losing his belly, ESPECIALLY with all that muscle underneath!!!!

    2 years ago sitting in TGI Fridays at supper with my wife and kids, i made her an offer that If I lost 80 lbs, I could trade in my Heritage Softail and get a brand new Harley Ultra Classic. She agreed, we wrote the agreement down on a napkin as we were sitting there waiting for supper to come and the kids both witnessed and signed the napkin. Two years later, I'm finally serious enough to do it. When I make my goal, I'll post pics of me on my Ultra... and a picture of that napkin I still have in my dresser.

    That seems like damn fine motivation to me... although I'm in no rush to trade my FLHP...

    I want to shop, for once in my adult life, in the Misses section of the store! I no longer want to be 'plus' sized.

    last year at BF's christmas part i had a fuscha size 22 dress that felt like a tent. Add insult to injury, it was everyone's first time meeting me, and i fell over. This year I want to be in the size `16 Little black dress looking damn fine.
