    Mine is that both of my two closest best friends are total gym rats. They're lean, trim and in amazing shape and I would love to be able to keep up with them. They have never ever made me feel less than them, but I would just love to head to the gym with them one day or do a race with them and feel like I'm actually 'with' them instead of them slowing down to let me join.

    I want to want to have sex again. I would come visit my then boyfriend and from 10 Friday night - 1 Sunday afternoon, we had sex 9 times. I do not feel sexy at all since having a kid 4 years ago and gaining 60 pounds. We've been married 5 years on the 28th.

    Mine is to be able to go a full round against my friend who is a pro MMA fighter with a 6-3-0 record. She's so entirely bad *kitten*. I want to be at least a fraction of that awesome.

    This is the best secret motivation I've ever heard! :D

    I'm 100% for aiming to be more lethal rather than just aiming for some arbitrary pants size.

    Rock on!

    2 main reasons besides health that I want to be thiner.

    1. I want to have a decent looking body because I haven't had one for as long as I can remember.

    But mostly

    2. So I can ride roller coasters again without worrying about whether or not I'll fit in the restraints.

    I want to be asked if I'm a model again. I used to have people stop and ask my mother if I was doing modeling, but that all stopped when I gained weight in high school.

    My secret motivation is to achieve my goal weight before i start college at the end of august ( atleast very close), to have my confidence back and to not let food make or break my day!

    This is one of the things that started my weight loss journey. Last year, my husband and I were huge roller coaster fanatics, and got season passes to Busch Gardens. All summer he had to push the harnesses down as hard as he could to fit me in them. One day we got on the ride and he pushed and pushed and the safety line didn't show. It was too late to get up and get off though- I was locked in. The attendant came by and gave the bar a good shove, and then politely told me that it wasn't safe for me to ride. I had to get off the ride, in front of everyone, completely embarrassed. I started crying. My husband insisted that he get off with me, but I told him to ride anyway. I will never forget the shame I brought onto both of us. I haven't had any trouble this year, even on that ride, but I don't want to rely on him to be there to push the bars down any more.

    :) Thanks. I enjoyed MMA a lot, and she and her husband/coach/manager would be fantastic teachers, but I am definitely not confident enough at this weight.

    I want to become a boxer. I can't afford a membership to a gym. I don't want to teach myself bc I will most definitely do it wrong. I'm hoping that in a couple of years we will be able to afford a trainer or gym membership so I can learn.

    I also would no longer like to be the fattest (or one of the fattest) girls in the room. I am sick of being the fat chick.

    I look at Victoria's Secret models. I buy size extra small panties during their semi-annual sales, even though when I wear their cheekies my butt cheeks are popping out of them. I also wear their Miraculous bras so that my little bewbs look bigger and waist looks smaller n take pix of myself that i keep stored in a secret folder on my lappytop... crazy n silly I know... but thats what secretly motivates me lol

    I am desperate to show I'm not just a frumpy Mum but I am sexy and confident (somewhere inside this flab!)
    I'd love to run a marathon to show the person who laughed and made fun of me even though I was slim at the time, except I have no way to contact them and no way to crow bar that into conversation even if I did!

    This is so one of mine. I have given stupid reasons for not wanting to go to six flags all summer because I don't want to be embarrassed by not fitting on a ride...

    I think my 'secret' motivation is that I want people to think of me as an athlete. I want to be known for being in the gym and getting it done.
    I also would no longer like to be the fattest (or one of the fattest) girls in the room. I am sick of being the fat chick.

    I'm with you on this. I'm definitely tired of being the fat friend. And I doubt it's a secret to my friends. I just figure everyone is aware of it, especially when I'm the only fat chick in a group of thin women. Let's play a game of spot the odd man out. Hmmm, lol.

    My secret motivation is two-fold. I am tired of being tired because of this excess weight and because my grandson told me his mother (my son's ex) called me fatty Patty and I want to show her who is a fatty Patty LOL!!!

    I don't tell loved ones (other than hubby) that I am trying to lose weight. Everytime I have I get the eye roll or that "look" like yeah right here we go again. It gives me total motivation to push harder for all the critics.

    I don't tell people I am trying to lose weight and then will be motivated and encouraged when they actually notice. If I tell them I am trying to lose weight, I will get that defeatist look that says, "Oh, there she goes again....probably won't work again."

    Ok, my secret motivation is really pathetic actually. I have this overwhelming fear of getting old and not being able to walk. I want to be strong so I can take care of myself when I am old. I believe my kids would probably roll my wheelchair into traffic when I am like 80. So I have to be tough so I can survive. Really sad and kind of twisted I guess.

    Hey... that's not pathetic at all! I'm sorry you feel like that about your kids, I would hope they wouldn't do that :/ but a big part of my motivation to stay healthy and exercise and eat well is looking at my grandparents. They are both around 90 years old and still live in their own house, walk on their own, etc... I'm so amazed by them. I want to be like that when I'm their age.

    I got two!! The number one thing is so when I have a boyfriend he can pick me up and spin me around! Number two is so I can one day say "look at me now!" to all the people who didn't think I could do it!

    This may sound morbid to some people, but it *definitely* motivates me. I told my oncologist (I am a breast cancer survivor) that his job is to keep me alive until I die of something else. (Fortunately he has a good sense of humor LOL) So hopefully by eating healthy and exercising I am keeping the "something elses" away, and making his job harder! :-)

    I want a guy to pick me up too. Well he tries. But he can't carry me too far lol. I wish he could just throw me over his shoulder but I can tell it's a bit of a struggle :ohwell:
