I want to give myself the best chance I can to enjoy good health into my old age.

I want to get up in the mornings and not have the first 15 steps hurt so bad.

I want to ride my horse in comfort, for me and for her.

I want to wear something besides stretch pants and a t-shirt.

I want my body back. I hate sitting in a chair outside, catching a glimpse of my reflection in a window and seeing Jabba the Hutt looking back.

Too funny!

I want to meet people for the first time and have them think about my eyes or my hair or my smile instead of my enormous body.

I want my husband to introduce me to his friends and co-workers and not be self-conscious about it and then also feel guilty because he doesn't want to be self-conscious about me.

I want to be taken seriously in business without having to overcome the hurdle of being so fat.

I want to wear clothes that flatter me rather than clothes that just cover me.

I never want my children to have to face the same struggle with weight, and I know that if they grow up knowing that I have won, they will have confidence that they can win if they ever do struggle.

I want to prove to my dad it can be done, and then not worry about him and his health so much.

So many more, but this is good for now. Thanks for the thread, 'cuz I really needed the reminder.

The reasons I wanted to reach my goal are:
1. to lower my amt of medications
2. to qualify for a liver transplant
3. to be more active in my kids life
4. to improve my self esteem
5. to feel "normal" when I go places
6. to just "fit in" in life

Now that I've reached my goal , these same reasons are why I work hard at maintaining the wt. loss
