    1. I am looking forward to wearing a slutty halloween costume * every year my friends do and they go out and I make an excuse not go.. not this year I will out shine them all!


    I love this!! I find true joy in wearing slutty halloween costumes. Don't know why, don't care. I've done the slutty baseball player, slutty cop, slutty vampire, slutty sailor...the one night a year girls can dress like tramps and nobody is allowed to say anything!


    But also, my goal is to be able to rock my bikini with all my girlfriends at our annual boat party (my bf's best friend throws this huge party on a 75 person barge every summer) instead of wearing my cover up the whole time :)

    And one day being able to go running in just a sports bra. I don't even care about my post-pregnancy stretch marks--if my stomach is flat and not jiggly, I'm running without a shirt on!

    wow everyone is doing this for vanity and not for health


    Sure, I want to look good. That's the obvious thing to look forward to. But think about it, feeling good about the way you look is so important to your MENTAL health as well. Of course we ALL want to be healthy. Every single one of us. But that confidence in our own body image is something that so many of us have longed for our entire lives. Don't hate on those who want to be happy with the way they look, we care about our health too.

    AHH!! What an amazing thread!!!!! So many things I could name but my top 5 would be as follows:

    1. Not being ashamed of my husband trying to pick me up!
    2. Feeling comfortable nomatter what i'm wearing or NOT wearing ;)
    3. Loving EVERY pic that is taken of me
    4. Not looking like I have had 2 c-sections
    5. No longer being in the obese/oveweight category, but finally NORMAL! :)))

    These are all on my top list. #4 I've had 4 and one hysterectomy to boot.
    I want to be able to look myself in the mirror without feeling like I want to vomit
    I want to wear all the wonderfully fashionable clothes that my coworkers wear. I just love the clothes.

    I have many reasons. But here's a few:

    1. Skinny/low rise jeans.

    2. Bikini at the water park. :wink:

    3. Being healthy for myself and my family so that we can add to our happy family. We all have more love to give and we desperately want to give it.

    I think the health thing is a given. The entire reason i started losing weight was to get healthy ;)

    -Being strong and in top health
    - keeping up with my husband and his pals when we go on backpacking treks
    - and of course feeling beautiful & sexy for myself and my husband
    - AND I can not deny how good it feels when I go out and run into hordes of people from HS that despite my married, kids and homemaker/educator lifestyle I began at 18 (and still happily doing so these years later) I am still in better shape then those unmarried, no kids and some years younger then me... This is shallow of me, but after years of being treated like some stereotype- it feels good to see their faces!

    wow everyone is doing this for vanity and not for health.....I am doing it because I want $1250 and I want to be healthy. I signed up at http://www.healthywage.com and paid the $300 bucks for the BMI challenge and combine that with incentives at work I will have $1250 to spend on me. Sure it will be nice to fit into the old clothes but to be healthy for my kids is really the biggest reason the rest is just additional incentive.

    sooo.. you're doing it for the money?

    I think vanity is a better excuse. :p

    I have a long list but my main one, besides being healthier and stronger, is that I want to feel as beautiful as my husband thinks I am!

    My husband already bought me my goal reward, now I just have to "live up to it"! He got me a nice little Mini Cooper S with turbo and panoramic sunroof. :love:

    SUPER JEALOUS. Can you tell me where I can find another one like your hubby? I'd work my butt off for a Mini Cooper, not to mention the turbo and sunroof. Woo girlie, you are SPOILED!

    In other news:

    I look forward to a healthy future. Having babies is WAY ahead on my little brick road but I can't wait to have one of those cute pregnant bellies.

    Oh not to mention being able to shop with my sisters in the awesome stores.
