    I want to be able to make my body do whatever I tell it to do. So...like run a marathon, compete in triathlons, etc. I don't want to be burdened by weight and lack of muscle.

    I'm overweight at this point, still have 20 to lose before I hit the "normal" point...and 35-40 for my final goal, but I honestly think I look good now. I know how to dress appropriately so most people think, "what, you need to lose that much?"

    I want to sit down, like a lady, and cross my legs - not at the ankles - but knee over knee.

    I am only 4lbs to my goal. ( i may go lower but will still be in the middle of my normal range) I dont want the upper part of my arm to wave when I wave my hand. fix the inner/upper thighs and a flat stomach. I am currently at 38 inches and would like to be 32 for now. we always have a big party for the 4th of july at the beach. I would like to wear a bathing suit without a tank top over it
  • 1 - Get rid of my Diabetes 2 diagnosis.
    2 - Fit into those clothes I've been holding onto - hey, maybe the'll be back in style! ;)
    3 - Paddle my standup paddle board in a bikini and look great doing it.
    4 - Pick up my friends at the airport in April and have them not recognize me because I've lost that much and gotten that fit.
    5 - No more back fat.
  • I wanna have a thigh gap
    I wanna have sticking out hipbones again
    I wanna have thinner upper arms
    I wanna have a more toned but

    I think I'd be the happiest girl ever when I'd achieve all those things :)
  • Size 3 jeans in junior sizing &
    A decent thigh gap. :heart:

    I love this!! I want to be able to run a 5k. And go up and down stairs fast without feeling like I'm going to collapse at the top or break them on the way down. I want to run and play and ride bikes with my daughter for longer than 5 minutes. And not insist on the first pew in church 'cause when we kneel in the other pews my stomach pushes on the front while my butt is pushing on the seat and I feel fatter than ever.

    I have several ones. For instance, I would like to see my abs once in my life. I am an apple shape and I've never been so lean in my life that I could actually see (even roughly) the shape of my abs. I would love that.

    ^^This exactly. Even when I was 130 in high school, I still couldn't see my abs.
  • I want to be able to have abs so I can walk around with no top on on the beach and at the pool with confidence :)

    Me too except that I can't possibly go public topless :tongue: but would love to go to the gym wearing a sports bra & jogging pants. Although I see my abs when standing but its a different story when I'm seated or doing a crunch

    I want to feel my abs. I'm told hey exist, but i've never seen them.

    I also want to have a baby, and before I pile on the baby weight (ughhhh) I want to be a healthier, happier me.
    and I want to be around for my future children...

    I want to feel proud, and not be ashamed to be in a bathing suit

    This is stupid but I wanted a onsie pajama for ages and I finally bought one in the largest size they had in the shop which was a small. I can fit into it but its tight and I feel like it'll break if I sit down lmao. So I want to be able to wear it without feeling lumpy and fat and without feeling like it'll break.

    I have a photo of it but I'm sucking in my stomach so I look skinnier than I am.

    I want to shave a good amount of time off of my half marathon time. I know my weight affects this. I also would like to for once be comfortable enough in my own skin to walk around on the beach without feeling like everyone is looking at me.

    Keep up with my Son
    Not stressing out about sitting in a chair, riding a roller coaster, or jumping on a trampoline
    go snow skiing and tubing without hurting
    Not be a "space invader" on the person next to me on an airplane

    I want to feel confident wearing a 2-piece bikini at the pool in Las Vegas this year instead of staying far, far away from it because I'm embarrassed.
    I want to fit into the size 6 jeans that I've refused to get rid of for the past 7 years.
    I want to get naked in front of my husband and not worry if he's secretly grossed out by me.
    I want my 7 year old to call me "little" and mean it.

    to have a midsection that is not flabby
  • I have many. The closest one is this:

    I only have one pair of jeans that fit. They are a size 22 from LB. I thought I was a size 24, but then I tried these jeans on (last year) and was so excited to see that I could fit into a size 22. So I bought about 3 pairs of jeans in a size 22 off eBay. They were the same brand. They didn't fit. I couldn't even get them closed. I was so sad. I refused to buy any other jeans for myself. So here I am, about a year later, hoping that very soon I will fit into those 3 pairs of jeans so that I can wear jeans more often. :-)

    ETA: Less vain goals would be to stop taking blood pressure medication, to be able to run and play with my children, to get to a place where I'm comfortable enough in a swimsuit so that I can take my children to the pool, to be able to have more stamina for various... activities, and to be healthy enough to sustain another pregnancy in case we decide to have another child. So yeah. All things that I'm working toward. But I'd love to be able to fit into a new pair of jeans by the next couple of months. LOL

    To wear a pair of Lucky jeans (with the big thread) and my GoGos tshirt and look good in them.
    Also this:
    "I want to get naked in front of my husband and not worry if he's secretly grossed out by me."
  • Well, I stopped fitting in my favorite jeans nearly two years ago- I want to put those jeans back on!!
    And this one is kinda humorously embarrassing, but here goes:
    I am an American living in Barcelona. This summer, I want to be able to take my top off at least once at the beach! Last summer, I couldn't do it-- not because I was ashamed of my boobs, but because I was ashamed of my flabby tummy!
