    so I can buy a smoking hot dress for my daughter's sweet 16 and be confident enough to wear it. so I can stop calling myself a fat piece of **** in my head every time I want to eat something, or every time I try something on. so I can accept a compliment from someone without mentally calling them a liar.

    To have a baby.

    Oh, and to make my skinny friends jealous. ;)

    Improve my health down the line. To put a stop to this gradual weight gain I have experienced for 10 years now.

    and so that my clothes look nice on me - no tight spots, no bulges!

    -- to regain mobility and enjoy activities from my youth. (horseback riding, softball, hiking, tennis, etc)
    -- to show my teenagers that life is fluid and anything is possible if you want it bad enough!
    -- to feel comfortable in my own skin again and experience love again. (haven't dated in years)
    -- to walk with pride and confidence; instead of anxiety and shame.

    I think you're already there. You need to step up your goal to Target.

    Oh, I want to lose weight to look like the "me" I keep forgetting I don't actually look like in reality. When I fantasize that I'm a rock star, the real me isn't the me in my imagination.

    I want to look down and see my toes.
    I want to sit on the floor and play with my grandbaby without having to crawl over to the couch when I want to stand up.
    I want to shop in the Misses department at Kohls.
    I want to ride a roller coaster without having to squish myself into the seat.

    No medical issues yet. *knocks on wood* Just starting to feel the wear and tear of carrying extra weight.

    Because I've got a great life and a lot to live for. And also because I'm sick of feeling like the fat guy when I hang out with my thin good looking friends.

    I've been trying for a few years and going up and down. Pain is the main reason. My knees and lower back hurt when my weight is up. I'm stepping it up though. I WILL get the last 30 off by June. 30 year high school reunion.

    my husband is in a band and i dont want to be the fat wife anymore, whenever i watch him perform i feel like he must be ashamed of me - he's not at all but i cant help thinking it. Also with him being in a band girls think its ok to try it on with him even when he's blatantly attached and i want to be hotter than them little tarts xx
