What better motivation than to dream *BIG* & see your efforts turn those dreams into reality!?

For me, I look forward to the fall time... I want to slip a pair of skinny jeans on and a pair of knee high brown riding style boots! Skinny jeans has NEVER been apart of my wardrobe! & as for the boots....well, even the extra calf room ones they make now were on the tight side! I hope to wear a regular size and not have to use that extra zipper room this fall! Cannot wait to go shopping for those fall pieces! Keep dreaming BIG, you are your own motivation!!!!

What do you look forward to?

    I too look forward to buying cute, smaller sized clothes! I avoid so many cute clothes because of how I look in them. I don't want to have to worry about that anymore. It's time to go shopping and be happy after, not depressed.

    I'm looking forward to actually DOING things! I want to sky dive, ride roller coasters again, take a self defense class, and learn to surf. My weight holds me back from so much activity. Now that I've lost 74 pounds, I find it's so much easier to get around, and I can spend hours at museums and art galleries without getting out of breath or having pain in my feet or knees. I am hitting up an amusement park in one month and I plan to ride every coaster, front row, multiple times, to celebrate fitting in to the seats!

    No longer eating at a deficit. Except for GW of 140#, I've reached the other goals I set for myself. I can fit through doors, buy clothes from "regular" shops, health markers are great.

    I want to run around with my kids and not constantly tug at my clothes or wonder how much my stomach is sticking out. I want to feel comfortable in my clothes.

    Feeling truly comfortable in my own skin. I know most of that is mental, but I felt so much better a couple years ago when I was in better shape, far more confident. I also look forward to being able to wear a bikini and feel glamorous in it!

    Buying cute, age appropriate things! I'm in my late teens, but I've always dressed in "older" clothes because the cute teen/early 20s clothes never looked good on me. Soon I will look good in leggings!

    I used to run, rock climb, and kayak. Sometimes all within the span of one day! I was light and fit. All I felt was exhilaration, not exhaustion. That's what I can't wait to feel again... I can't wait to feel like all of this "strenuous" activity is a piece of cake again. :heart:

    I look forward to wearing those nice summer clothes and to no longer try on cute clothes only for them not to fit. I really look forward to gain confidence and be a happier person.

    Just want to feel healthy. No more covering my belly bulge. I want a life of healthy eating and no guilt over a bad meal once in while.

    Being able to make a work-appropriate dress with the same amount of fabric I now use to make a shirt. Being able to buy clothes off-the-rack in general.

    YES!!!! I feel like I have been wearing a 60 year old mid western matrons clothing since I was 13. 3X-4X most of my life. I want to dress my age.

    I tend to like my clothes a bit loose - I feel intensely self conscious when things are tight around my middle. Right now I seem to be between XXL in straight sizes, and 1X in plus. I can't wait to be so deeply in the straight sizes that all clothes are available to me.

    There isn't anything that I've ever denied myself because I was heavier than I wanted to be. Loving myself the way I am now, all the time, is part of the deal for me.

    I want to be able to wear *just* regular undergarments under my clothes. No compression shirts or spanx in order to look professional (and half boil to death).
