    First motivation was to fit into my clothes again rather than buy a bigger sized wardrobe. Second reason was to fit into my wedding dress! By wedding time I had become addicted to working out, and now all of my "skinny clothes" fit again and it's just about being healthy and looking fit, for me :-)

    This is a question I have asked myself from time to time. Sometimes its about being healthy and in great shape and other times I just want to look good and be stared at like a piece of meat.

    This...I would love to be stared at like a piece of meat...at least once in a while. Also, to have a skinny face again - no extra chin! To be able to have more choices for clothes. To be able to date more...dating is very superficial and people always judge by your size.

    I am also training for my first half-marathon and I want to be stronger and way more in shape.

    The truth: to be more comfortable and have a better standard of life and health.

    The fantasy: I'm preparing to survive a zombie apocalypse by becoming ninja fit.

    I want a baby! My husband and I have been trying for 5 years now, and before I seek medical help, I want to do EVERYTHING i possibly can before we go that route, and losing weight I believe is the way to go. And i want to have a healthy pregnancy!

    Good luck to you! I want to lose weight for the same reason. <3

    I hope your dreams of becoming parents is granted soon..

    I know the heart ache of having to go through the medical tests, and seeing everyone else having children but my husband and I... So I know what you might be going through..

    Keep your head up!! :flowerforyou:

    Best wishes to you both! My best friend went through a multi-year struggle and is at last having a healthy pregnancy. I certainly understand how you feel and hope your parenthood dreams come true soon!

    I want a before and after picture. I have been heavy so long, that I dont have a post puberty skinny picture and I want one! I want to go out on a date with my wonderful boyfriend and be the hottie that he thinks I am. I want to not feel like all people notice is my spare tire. I want my daughter to see my transformation and know that I am healthy and it is how you should always be. I kinda want my ex-husband to see me and be a little jealous. I want to buy a pair of jeans in the mall that doesnt come from Lane Bryant.

    I am just trying to be healthier so I can stick around for my kids for a long time. And hopefully lead them, by example, to lead a healthy lifestyle themselves. I was so fat that I never went outdoors with them; that was left to my husband. :( I love playing with them! I missed out on a lot of that...
