What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

I have a petty reason for switching to recomp now even though I'm not at my target weight yet (a former 'happy weight'—I'm 5 pounds out): I'm terrified of boob deflation because I was flat-chested the last time I was at that weight.

I'm 40 next year so I want to be in the best shape of my life. But more importantly, I went on an ebay bender and bought a capsule wardrobe all in a UK size 10. I want to get there by September and surprise my friend when I see her.

It's like a set of clothes in basic colours that will mix and match with each other as well as other more colourful pieces in your wardrobe. Mine are in black, white and beige plus denim. The idea is quality over quantity. Think classic French style- black trousers, smart white shirt, black blazer. It's a mix of smart and casual pieces. Look it up on Pinterest. I'm smitten but won't fit into mine unless I lose a further stone and a half at least...

To finally not have a flat behind and skinny calves.

I want to look better so I can be more confident and expressive.

I’m tired of my underwear feeling tight on me 😂 I just cannot deal with it.

Because on the inside I feel like a total badass, but on the outside I look like a kind of frumpy middle-aged mom. I want my outside to match my inside!

Lol.... this reminds me of me. I don’t even have kids to blame it on!

Back to year 2009, I was at my heaviest weight, 253lbs, I decided to undergo a free health screening package worth US750 at my previous workplace (hospital) since it was 1 of bonus incentives given to hospital staff for good achievements throughout the year 2008.

My doctor said " Did the treadmill machine broken down when you step on it and jog??"

That humiliation made me decide to go for a change ,once and for all. I did it and shed off more than 60lbs.

I want to reach my target at 154lbs before age 40. To look great and fit 💪

I want to be able to wrap a normal towel around me after I have a shower! Such a stupid thing but the last time I could do that I was in college 18 years ago

I totally understand. The towel thing is a big deal

I can not remember a time that I have ever been "thin" I have been big all of my life. I just want my outside self to match how I feel on the inside. I want to see how I'm supposed to look in my eyes. Especially now that I'm 33. I'm not getting any younger.

to stick it to all the people who have asked me "when are you due?" when I wasn't even pregnant! I learned my belly pooch was either a sugar or carbs pooch cuz after going on a gestational diabetes diet with my first son and giving birth my belly pooch was gone for the first time since I was a teenager!
