    I want to be a fabulous looking 45 year old--healthy and vibrant and strong AND lose the weight before it gets really really hard-the older I get the trickier it is--want to get in front of that. And I have a gorgeous skirt that I have not been able to wear in two years. 15 pounds really makes a lot of difference. I keep unpacking that skirt with the summer clothes to motivate me. 15 pounds by labor day. Plus more energy and less achey-ness. And all this from only 15 extra pounds.

    -Not being the fattest person in pictures
    -Being able to dance better (I'm a member of a dance team so)
    - Wearing dresses/skirts without chubrub
    - Being able to shop in Japanese clothing stores (I had to avoid them all when I was in Japan last summer)
    - Being able to wear high heels
    - Shorts and short skirts!!
    - Being more attractive> better chance of dating> finally having a relationship
    - Feeling healthier and active

    I can't believe someone else has the same obscure goal as me! :smiley:
    I was in Japan for xmas/new years and i was absolutely blown away by the amazing fashion they have over there, but I didn't fit into a single thing it was torture! I'm going back there next year and I'm determined to make up for not being able to fit into anything first time round :wink:

    I look forward to being able to really enjoy summer, I love the sunshine but Australian summer weather + overweight = sweaty nasty hot mess not a good look xD I want that to change for sure

    This pretty much describes my thoughts!

    I will admit, I have never been a large person, but I have been an extremely fit, competitive athlete. I have known what it's like to be 16% body fat, to run a half marathon in 1:30 and to place in the top 10% at an Ironman. I remember these things with searing clarity. At 48, my goals are different, and I hope that by losing 15 pounds (I'm half way there, now) I can feel strong and fit again. Wouldn't hurt if I could fit into some of my clothes, too!

    I'm cheering for all of you who want health, fitness and strength in your future – it is an awesome feeling and well-worth the challenge.

    When I started my weight loss journey at 321 lbs and 5ft tall, I was looking uphill. I started visualizing myself in a thin body with my face thin. I got more vivid with clothing picking out outfits and the color they were and started believing I could do it. I had the mindset of losing my weight in 25 lb increments. When I hit 130, I could go into any store and pick out anything and have it fit. Now at 117 lbs I can wear anything, my health is good, no back pain or swollen feet, I can cross my legs, and the best part is I learned to love myself and have a good sense of self. I actually liked me and had self confidence. I am humble and am here to help people. I have had friends lose the weight, get all high and mighty, get divorced, get lost, and in the end gain the weight back. I have confidence you all will hit your goals and feel great. Lose the weight but not yourself. There's a big difference. <3
