...I want my weight to be one of the last things someone notices about me.

I believe it's always good to remind yourself why you're working so hard; it keeps you motivated even through the tough times.To make you think really hard about this, IN 15 WORDS OR LESS, share a reason or reasons you're working to lose weight.

    I want to feel better about myself and I had so much more confidence with everything from swimming to dating. I miss looking in the mirror and loving what I see. I want my body back...

    I'm losing weight because I'm sick of people making those comments that are meant to be nice... "I mean, you're a bigger girl and you're still pretty". Gr!

    I want to lose the social anxiety I feel now when I'm in public. I used to be SO confident and assured, but now I just want t crawl under a rock when I'm in a social setting.

    I'm trying to gain, but I want to play if you don't mind (the thought of gaining weight scares me at first, so it's great to remind myself why I'm here)
    I want to gain weight for my health. I want my Raynauds symptoms to lessen because it's hard to live with them as bad as they are now. I want to live a long life :)

    1. For my health and well-being, for now and forever
    2. For my fiance's health and well-being (if I'm eating better and exercising, you can bet he is too!)
    3. So I can look lovely at my wedding next year <3

    I'm losing weight because I want to be able to fit into the gigantic suitcase of clothes that don't fit me anymore since I've had my daughter that I was able to still wear when I was PREGNANT with my daughter.

    I gave birth to a daughter in August and she died the day after delivery. I'm losing weight so that I will be as healthy as possible when I get pregnant again.

    I want to persevere and not give up because I have a setback (like i have in the past).

    I want to have more to do with friends than go to the movies or out to eat. I want to find friends with similar exercise interests.

    I want to look good in my clothes in May when I got to Quebec

    I want to control my depression and anxiety issues.

    I want to have calories and energy to burn!

    I want to be a healthier person, both physically and emotionally!

    Fitting into clothes comfortably and confidently are always great reasons because nothing feels quite as wonderful as fitting into a pair of jeans that fit you perfectly and feeling OH SO FINE! :tongue:

    I want to be able to continue doing activities that I love for many more years.... it is getting harder and harder to pack the weight as I get older. I am too young to slow down yet!
