in Health and Weight Loss
Hi I’m obviously looking to lose weight for my health this time round but I do have a lovely holiday booked for June to Las Vegas, I went last year and the heat was intense especially being big so I’d love to slim down and get fitter for my holiday as there is a lot of walking. Does anyone else have a specula occasional coming up they would like to shape up for?

    Yes the incentive for me is we are going on holiday in July and the last time I went to this resort 2.5 years ago I was at goal weight and loved the confidence I had. I need to shift this baby weight now and I know I can do it!! Good luck!

    My sister-in-law is getting married in May and asked me to do reading. I’d love to be at or near my goal weight when I have to stand up in front of all those people!

    My 10 year wedding anniversary is in July. I’d like to be close to my wedding weight by then.

    Besides life. And health of course. I actually want to hike the PCT next year. It will be slightly easier if I drop more weight first.

    Eh.. not exactly, but kind of. I'm losing weight and getting fit because it needs to be done, and it'll take as long as it takes. I'm working on just living my life as it is now rather than putting things off anymore. Nobody cares about me being fat or showing some skin in hot weather more than I do, but it sure is taking a while for that lesson to sink in.

    That being said, I am attending a wedding in a month and a half and it would be nice to fully be another size down instead of stuck between sizes. I'm putting off dress shopping until the last minute, which kind of stinks, but I'm steadily losing so I genuinely do not know what size I will be.

    It would also be nice to be at my goal, or a hell of a lot closer to it, by the time I get married... whenever that is. Next year maybe, I dunno (we're engaged with goals to meet before we set a date). The actual marriage is more important than looking good in a dress so I guess I'll just see what's going on when we get there!

    Yes. I want to have another baby’s. And I want to be a healthy weight at the start of my pregnancy.

    I didn't initially, but now I do.

    My brother is getting married next year and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a bridesmaid (I've not been asked yet, but my sister-in-law to be, did tell me some time ago that when they did eventually get engaged, she'd want me as a bridesmaid, so I'm pretty confident). I would like to be settled on a weight well before, so I don't have to make adjustments to the dress I'm going to be wearing.

    Also I want to look fiiiiine :wink:

    Mostly, I want to feel confident, be strong and healthy. Vanity does play a part though. I am attending a gala in Scotland in May hosted by Sam Heughan. Sam Heughan stars in my favorite show, Outlander, which also happens to be my favorite book series. I will be working out with one of his trainers and doing a group activity with others from all over the world who have been working the past year to be healthier. I need to be able to complete the workouts without dying. I am participating in my first half marathon on the grounds of Stirling Castle while I am there. Less weight to drag for 13.1 miles is a big incentive. I also want to wear a beautiful dress at the gala without having bingo wings and back fat.

    My main motivation is to look great in a bikini. We just went on vacation to Florida, and I felt I looked pretty good in a bikini, but by this summer, I want to look fantastic. Last year I worked hard to get from overweight to healthy. This year, I want to work on the vanity weight.

    My sister in law's wedding is in September and we are also going to Belize for our first anniversary in September. I need to look great in both a dress and a bikini.
