in Introduce Yourself
I got married almost 4 years ago (almost wrote hours! LOL!) and I want to lose a good chunk of weight before I have kids. I'm looking at at least 70+lbs to lose. I also want to get remarried to my husband and wear the dress of my dreams - rather than having to settle on the plus size one.

What's your motivation?

Anyone please feel free to add me as a friend!

    Going to the beach this June. :D Last year I was completely oblivious on how much weight I was putting on, and now I think I can get rid of at least 10lbs by my beach trip. :) Add me if you'd like.

    I can totally relate, my goal weight is somewhere between 80-90 lbs. but to even take off 50 would be fabulous, I wouldn't complain, lol! Next year my husband & I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary and I would love nothing more than to renew our wedding vows on a trip that we have planned down south, to be on the beach in a beauitful white flowing beach dress (not plus size) and our 2 girls standing beside me, that's my inspiration :blushing:

    1. To feel and look good in my attire again for me and my family :):smile:

    2. To prove to myself that I can accomplish anything with God’s help, when I put my heart into it regardless of what some mean people have to say about it. :wink:

    Combination of health, babies, not wanting to be single (which I want to come before the babies, and is bigger than just a weight issue, I know), and not a small amount of vanity/jealousy. Having skinny, fashionable friends was a part of the equation, too.

    I want to be fit and healthy. In better shape than I have ever been. I don't want to develop diabetes (which is genetic in my family) or have anymore issues with my liver, or any other organ for that matter. A part of me just wants to wear the cuter smaller clothes etc. To feel sexy naked etc.

    My boyfriend and I are going on our first cruise the end of next month. I want to look good in a bikini. I want him to be smug and happy that I'm all his. I want other girls to be jealous. I'm losing weight to have better self-esteem and to be happy when I see myself naked.

    Well today is my first day of a new chapter! I brought my flight ticket to move to the Gold COast from New Zealand in July, signed up at my local gym and signed up to this - everything is looking up. I currently am weighing in at 127.5kg my aim is to lose 15kgs in three months - before i fly (5kgs a month). This way i wont be squashed into a seat to much on the plane - or will have to ask for an extra belt (shame). Then I will set my next target. I look forward to support and guidance by everyone that has already started thier journey.
