A moment of truth - What is the real (by that I mean vain) reason you are trying to lose weight?

Mine is to 1) Look like the skinny girl I was in high school at my 20th reunion and 2) to look hot in a bikini again.

    Hmmm, really? I am the only one doing this to look good.

    Definitely not! I too want to get back to my previous (slimmer) me. Buying new clothes that fit the way i want them to is amazing!

    No.... you're not alone. The others can't answer right now, I expect they're busy posing infront of the mirrors... :bigsmile:

    This is the dress I just ordered... http://www.lightinthebox.com/trumpet-mermaid-halter-floor-length-evening-dress_p245970.html?utm_campaign=cartcross

    I'm here to fit into it... the health and fitness are delightful side effects. Now THAT'S vanity..
  • I want to lose weight to be healthy (well kinda, I still love pizza) and to fit into a vintage wedding dress August 2013. I figure I can cancel out my pizza addiction with my exercise addiction.

    At Christmas I was really slim and was toned. I'm still somewhat slim, but I've lost almost all muscle. So I want to look great again. And since I have a special someone now, I want to give him something to look at. Even if he says he doesn't care. Lol

    I wanna wear those cute midriff bralette tops when the summer comes around! Pair them up with some cut off demin shorts and pretty much rock all the looks from nastygal.com by the end of this year. Woo! Festival season!

    Hell no you're not alone! I want to be healthy, but I definitely want and expect to see difference in my body that I'd WAY rather see than what I see now in the mirror. I don't want to have to wear plus sized clothes ever again!

    Those are my reasons too!

    On a side note, my son just graduated high school last week. He sent some of the pictures to his girlfriend who lives out of state. Her family was drilling her about "the girl" in his his pictures and why he was taking so many pictures with his female friend (that they assumed was graduating with him). Um, yeah, that would be me! Although I know I don't look quite young enough to be graduating, I will admit, that was a huge ego booster!

    Flat stomach, buff arms, just general sexiness. I also want to be really strong.

    Me too! Sometimes I stare at the girls at the gym with great legs. Ha! I need to share that tidbit with my hubby.
  • I was 100 lbs when I married my hubby, 16 years ago. I've gained "only" 39 lbs in 16 years, and I have two kids, but still! On someone my height, that extra weight shows. Plus a healthy weight for 5' is under 125 lbs. So yea, I wanna be that hottie hot hottie I was back then, though I doubt I'll ever be down to 100 lbs again. lol.

    Hubby says I'm beautiful like I am, and I adore him for that. But i know I can do better! & I feel better. & maybe I can keep up with my extra active children if I get back down to 115!

    You know what'd be great though, having abs/definition to show off as well in the midriff shirts, yeow.

    ARE YOU KIDDING?! :noway:

    I'm convinced I can return to the size 8 I was AFTER I gave birth to my third child... Of course, I was 27 when I did it, but I figure even now that I'm 40ish (and with all the other success stories out there and on MFP) IT CAN BE DONE! Calories be darned!!! :laugh:
