1. I want to ride the roller coasters at Cedar Point again (the last time I went I was too big for Millenium Force Q.Q
2. I want to wear skinny jeans and not have it be ironic.
3. Never having to hear this pickup line again: "You're pretty good looking, you know...for a "bigger girl".
4. No more thigh chaffing when I wear a skirt/dress. Oh the pain, oh the agony!~
The one time I got stuck at the top of Superman in Largo, MD. The ride operator had to walk up all the steps. She get to the row in front of me ask" Are you two wearing your seat belt." The two men said no because they were to big for the seat belt to go around them. They were force to not ride it and had to walk down all those step. I was screaming pretending to have a fear of highs.
Weird reason to keep going and lose FAT. Well I like sexy time where the woman cannot contain herself.0 -

Do not feel bad.. My wife is plus sized and I love it! A pretty face with a curvy figure is better than an ugly face on a skinny twig. Take it from a me, a man will not just look at your weight. Your personality and overall demeanor matters so much more. Best of luck to you tracyannk28

not sure if you want to lose weight, or if that was your REASON for LOSING weight, but regardless, plenty of GOOD guys dont mind a gal with a few extra pounds. And theyre the ones who are more likely to stay and still be happy if you gain weight.
just sayin ' ...
Your statement makes me sad

I read all of these, and I didn't think any of these were weird. Not even the zombie apocalypse answer. What does that say about me?0

Don't be sad! I lost 65 pounds and spent $6k on getting my teeth all fixed and still spend the weekends alone wathcing Netflix.
But at least I'm healthier!

Not sure how weird it is but I always see it as
"The better shape I am in, the harder I am to kill"
which I find is always a nice motivator!0 -

I want to be healthy, we have a history of heart disease in our family, open heart surgeries seem to be the "thing" in our family, I don't want to be a part of our zipper club.0

Run / Ride faster. I'm already fairly fast, but with 60 less pounds, I could be even faster-- and suffer less wear and tear.0

3 1/2 years ago, I was very fit. Then I was raped. I was drugged pretty badly and so was unable to fight back and was left very sick for a few days. I packed on a lot of weight. Now, I'm fighting back by taking care of myself, by lifting weights, walking, nourishing myself. I'm doing other things, of course, but this part of my healing is me saying he doesn't get to control my life or my body anymore.

Here's a weird thing that motivated me to lose (I'm a healthy BMI now).
I was worried that if I had a medical emergency, I'd be too heavy to lift, lol!
Or if I was in a fire, I couldn't be pulled to safety!
Is that weird enough?0 -

Thank you. I appreciate that. I just find that it's not a motivation a lot of people understand or honestly, want to hear about.
