Watching The Biggest Loser UK or US - any country will do. I identify with the one about my shape/size/weight and see how much better they look and how much happier they are when they've lost some....0

Designer clothes. I know it sounds crazy, but I have always been plus size. For once, I would like to go into a store and be able to at least try on most stuff.0

Walking around the house in my underwear. If I am not comfortable, I need to work harder
Yes!! This ^^0 -
I am going to see my favorite singer (Eric Church) in November and I want to let loose and have a blast without worrying about how I look and whether things are wiggling. The wrong things anyway. LOL0

my sister. for years she has given me clothes that are too small (picture a very tight size 12 trying to fit into a size 8). she finds it hilarious because she is really thin, but it depresses me a lot. i might really dislike her but the clothes are cute.0

Seeing my abs0

I don't really consider it strange: but my biggest motivation is the anticipation of trying on wedding dresses. I have been on a weight loss journey for 4 years, but 4 years ago was NOT in a serious relationship. I am now and prob will be getting engaged/married within the next year, but I figured 4 years ago, I'd get a jump start on it so that my weight would be one less thing to stress about when the time DID come.0

I want that 13.1 sticker on the back of my car for running a half marathon! I'm really just in it for the sticker
Me too! haha I've got a ways to go but one day I will be able to run one and get that sticker!! :laugh:
Hahaha! This was me a couple of months ago! I completed my first half back in March--you should see the back of my car now! lol (stickers GALORE)0 -
I have a paper chain (yes, like the kind you made in kindergarten to count down the days until Christmas) and there is a link for every pound down to my first major goal of 200lbs. Every 10lbs the color changes, and the last 10 are red (b/c they are the tougher ones). I only take links off on Sundays, and it is strangely fulfilling and motivating seeing the links slowly come off.
OOooh! I like this one!0 -
Going to the next concert0

Bigger people that I know personally, they keep me motivated because I know I never want to look or live like that.
I thoughts was the only one, now I don't feel so bad lol0 -
um...a song by Destiny's Child...Cater to you...she says...I wanna be the same chick you fell in love with..
I think about that sometimes...because currently I aint that chick...LOL
I do the same thing!!!! Too funny!0 -
pooping well
I feel so much better when I do... and that is a result of eating more fruit and veg and drinking loads of water
Amen to that!!!0 -

I want to see hip bones, collar bones, jaw line, shoulder blades, ankles, knees, elbows. I don't want to be encased in fat anymore!0

Mentally - Wanting to live life to the fullest with my son and husband
Physically - Wanting to ride rollercoasters/water slides without fear of not fitting.
personally - wanting to not cheat myself out of the best life ever
Emotionally - Knowing that I CAN do this!0 -

I want to look nice in my clothes again. I want to be thought of as sexy one more time in my life. It has been a very long time since I felt pretty or sexy.0
