I want to feel confident this summer and fit into all of my size 8-10 clothes and look good at my graduation/summer ball

I want to wear a bikini! I think if I get down to about this weight I'll feel confident enough. Ideally I want to lose even more than that but we'll just see how things go.
When I get over 140 lbs ish I tend to put on weight between my thighs. I have bad stretch marks there too so when I wear shorts in hot weather they get really irritated and uncomfortable. Also I just wanna look good.0 -

Ultimately 135, but 140 by summer
So I'm fit - want to get back into the gym habit because it helps me de-stress. So I feel confident in a bikini and when I'm out on the town.
I can look good in clothes now but I'm conscious of certain body parts and I don't want to be

I want to get fit! ^_^ I discovered I'm pretty good at lifting weights, so I'd like to see if I can get stronger, get rid of some of my fat. Of course, I would love to look good in a bikini. XP To be honest, I'm not sure what a good GW is for me, since I do have quite a bit of muscle...0 -

I want to be a singer (after four years in university getting my bachelors in music) but have never had the confidence to get on stage because of my weight. My starting weight was 165 so I'm slowly getting there. I can't stay the weight I am because it doesn't work for me, and it doesn't look good on me.0 -

Hi my name is Jessica!
Age:19
SW:164lbs
CW:156lbs
GW:140-145lbs
Height: 5'6
I want to lose this weight because it is mostly around my stomach are, love handles, muffin top, and also my "wings" hahah.
I tear up every time I look at my stomach and I hate how it looks. I have never felt comfortable at the beach unless I'm with my
Supportive boyfriend haha. But my goal is to attempt to obtain a somewhat fit stomach and look and feel great at the beach! Aswell
As look good in crop tops, and tighter shirts. I also hope to lose a little bit of my boobs because there are D's currently and give me such back pain!
I can't wait to see everyone's progress0 -

Name: Priyanka
Age: 18
Starting Weight: 159 lbs
Current Weight: 142.5 lbs
Goal Weight: 125 lbs
Height: 5'5"
Reasons why you want to lose weight: I guess right now it's mostly for vanity's sake. I'm young enough that health issues aren't really of any concern, so it's all about how I look really. And setting myself up to live healthy throughout my life when it becomes more and more important! I want to rock a bikini! I weighed about 144 last summer (I've sort of fallen off course these last few months) and wore one for the first time in years, and this year I want to wear one and be super proud in it. Last year, there were days when I decided not to go to the pool because I didn't want to wear the bikini in front of people because I felt really bloated. This year, I want to weigh little enough that even when I've eaten a lot, I still feel comfortable with my body! And of course, thinner thighs so my legs look better in shorts would be amazing too!
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now: I feel so un-confident in my body, especially when I'm at the pool or beach around other gorgeous girls. I want to be proud of how I look and be proud of how hard I worked to get there. I'm starting college in the fall and I want to be proud there too. Right now, I'm ashamed of how I look. That needs to change.0 -
Shannon

5'4"
148 lbs
125 lbs
Reasons why you want to lose weight:
To feel more comfortable in my own body, confident enough to wear a swim suit and to be able to dress in more styles of clothes. I feel like I'm always trying to cover up.
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now:
In my early twenties I was at 120-125 lbs. I gained weight through stress eating and not being as active. I found myself eating more than I should have been purely because my brain was so focused on how miserable I was that I would just keep stuffing food in even after I was full (had a stressful job at the time). Now I'm in a happier time in my life and feel I have the ability to take on the challenge of losing weight.0 -

Between 133-138lbs (I'm getting a new scale! >.<)
120lbs
I'm fed up of being unhealthy, always being "the chubby one" in any group of people my age and feeling self-conscious about my appearance wherever I go.
I'm happy with my progress so far as I'm finally within the "healthy" BMI range but there are still problem areas of my body that I hate and make me want to hide away, like my thighs and back!0 -

I was at my goal weight in september, but have gained almost a stone over the winter. I also used to be quite fit and active but have stopped since it got cold, hence the weight gain. Mostly I want to get my fitness back, loosing the weight is just an added bonus to doing that0 -
Hi everyone!
Jenny's the name. 32 years of age (well I will be next Wednesday!)
Height: 5'5.
SW: 179.5
CW: 162.7
GW: !40 (and I will see how I feel then!)
Like many people on this site I have always struggled with weight issues. I like food, especially the bad food! I have really enjoyed teaching myself about healthier options over the last year. When I turned thirty I figured it was time to loose some weight. Heart disease and diabetes are rampant in my family and I figure that loosing weight is a good way to try to combat this!
And of course I want to look good...... :-)
Really looking forward to getting stuck in with this group and really try to loose the last twenty pounds before/ during this summer. God luck everyone!0 -
Name: Erika
Age: 20
Height: 5'5"
Your current weight: 160
Your goal weight: 140
Reasons why you want to lose weight: To be healthier overall, feel better inside and out. I want to set myself up for a healthier lifestyle that I can stick to. I need to learn the good habits while young.
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now: I used to be fit in highschool (4 yrs ago) but have since completely let myself go. I never had good eating habits because I never had to then! I got up to 185ish lbs and one day decided that that was not okay. I have slowly lost weight over about a year and a half. Now Im just trying to get down to a normal BMI.0 -
Name A.
Age 31 :noway:
Height 5' 5.5"
Your current weight: around 75 kilos (167 lbs) Am having issues with my scale though.
Your goal weight: 63-65 (around 140)
Reasons why you want to lose weight/Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now: Was a fat kid & teen. I successfully lost 90 pounds and maintained +/-130 for about ten years. The last 4 years I have struggled with maintaining my regular exercise routine and with depression. I've gained 30 pounds (10 in the last year) and am really unhappy and uncomfortable with myself. My clothes don't fit. I'm unemployed which has been tough and is a strain on my sense of self-worth...the weight contributes to lowering my self-esteem. I don't want to be as small as I used to be, but am putting my health first (physical and mental). Yeah, turning 31 doesn't help the ol' metabolism much... I want to feel more confident and enjoy my thirties and not waste them criticizing myself.0 -
Hi,
I'm Gemma
Age 40
5' 4"
Currently 173lbs - but weighing in tomorrow
Losing 20lbs sounds good to me as it will take me to the weight I was when I got married.
I lost tons of weight and kept it off for years but it's started to creep back on since having my child. It's a slippery slope for me so time to turn it around now.0 -
Name-Stef
Age-25
Height-5"4'
Current weight-171lbs
Goal weight-145lbs by July
Reasons why you want to lose weight- Mostly vain reasons, want to look better and not feel like a fat mess beside almost everyone I know. Had lost 15lbs last year before I moved country for a job and gained it all back and more. I also want to up my exercise regime as I have recently quit smoking and would like to be generally healthier.
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now - I look terrible in pictures, can't wear nice clothes without looking lumpy and bumpy, I want to look good for my boyfriend, hate being the fattest member of whole family and generally feeling like *kitten* all the time. I have terrible problems with sleep, developed psoriasis and self esteem issues which have contributed to my weight gain over the past few months. Honestly I want my confidence back and I cannot see that happening at this weight.0 -

Your current weight: 130
Your goal weight: 118
Reasons why you want to lose weight: I am the heaviest I have ever been. I want to feel nice in my clothes again

Thank you for starting this group:
Name: Carrie
Age: 34
Height: 5'4"
Your current weight 136-138 lbs
Your goal weight: 128-132 lbs.
Reasons why you want to lose weight: I've gained weight with a promotion at work and added stress. It makes me feel badly about the way my body looks and also the way my clothes fit. I want to be slimmer in the tummy, but I don't care as much about the number on the scale.
Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now: I don't like the way my clothes fit. Some of my clothes have become tight. I feel more confident when I'm about 5-10 pounds lighter. It would help my overall happiness, well-being and health.0 -

I am an emotional eater and a rollercoaster with my weight. I fluctuate a lot within about 15 pounds and I am so tired of never having anything to wear that looks decent. I would love to wear shorts this summer and not be self conscious.
I feel so much better in the 120's both mentally and physically. I really need to move more. I am lazy ..0 -

GW ; 130
Height ; 5'5
I want to finally fit into the nice clothes I have put aside and to look slim and nice in anything I wear
I went up to 180lbs after my second son was born and recently went to 138lbs then gained from october -february back up to 152lbs. I need to stop eating silly things I dont need and stop the emotional eating. Im back to a 1pm-8pm eating schedule with intermittent fasting as it was how I lost weight the first time and it works to stop me over eating. I always find I eat more the earlier I eat so this works perfectly for me. My goal is to wear a beautiful summer dress this summer and be confident!0 -
