    Number one on my list is to finally feel confident and beautiful. But ultimately I want to just be over healthy not only on the outside but in the inside as well. Now that I'm single and eventually probably would be dating one day far away, I don't know, but I want to feel more attractive and confident for when that time comes around.

    At first my goal was to be able to wear jeans again, now that I can, (lost my pregnancy weight before joining back on here, so total is 68 lbs lost) I want to be able to fit back into all my cute skinny clothes. I look like a walking advertisement for people of walmart.com when I'm big because even though I want to look and dress nice, nothing would fit. I still have 110 lbs left to go but I'm getting there. :D

    Primary reason would be for health reasons. I don't ever want to here another doctor say "your arthritis would be better if you lost some weight". Either they are right and I'll feel better or I'll prove them wrong.... I kind of hope they're right though.

    My second reason...I want to enter my 40s feeling and looking like I did in my 20s (or at least close to that!). That gives me until November 15th....but I can do it!! =)

    The immediate reason- my brother is getting married in April, and I am his "best man" and I'd like to be able to rock a women's cut suit without looking like a linebacker.

    Long-term- I used to be very active in sports, but now I have slowed down and shifted my priorities so I don't get as much exercise as I used to, ergo I want to be more cognizant of what I eat in order to stay relatively healthy.

    I wanted to be able to wear skinny jeans. I was turning my jeans into skinny jeans in high school and I was too fat to wear them now it is here! I finally bought couple last week and wearing them!! :drinker: I also want to able to complete a 1/2 iron man triathlon before I get too old( one of my bucket list). Losing weight will help with my time and lessen the pain I get on my left foot during training. I want to look like a trophy wife! :love: Mostly of all, I want to grow old healthy.

    I think this is my version of a mid-life crisis. I love my wife so very much that I could not even contemplate having an affair (with anyone but her), and i am too much of a cheap-*kitten* Engineer to buy a sports car, so I am trying to get my college body back. Side benefit is that it is good for me!

    At this point I'm only about 15 lbs over. I'm losing the weight so that I can date again and secondly I enjoy playing sports and being smaller means I'm faster and can do a lot more.

    I have a couple of reasons....

    -To be at a weight that's healthy and maintain it this time
    -To be at a healthy weight when my husband and I start trying for a baby... I want to be able to workout throughout my pregnacy so that the weight will come off easy afterwards
    -To fit back into all my really cute tops, jeans & dresses
    -Summer,Summer,Summer time!!! We have a thing out here called Billy Bowlegs where people line up their boats and it's basically like a party on water.. So much fun!!! So I gotta look great in my bikkini!!

    I am losing weight so I am not so self conscious.
    Also, so this year when me and the hubby take the kids to the lake with friends I can wear a two piece and not hide behind clothes.
    I want to feel sexier and look sexier.
    I want to fit into the tiny little dresses I own but do not wear.
    And lastly, I want to get back into a size 3.

    My health. I have Metabolic Syndrome - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes - as well as acid reflux, and a few other things. The latest thing is fibromyalgia, which makes working out more of a challenge. The Metabolic Syndrome is worsened by weight, and also makes it harder to lose weight. I'm only 41, but I take 8 medications a day, which is ridiculous. So despite all the reasons why it will be difficult, those are the same reasons why it is really important that I lose some weight. I want to have a long happy life with my husband.
