1: I want to make my own clothes and use less fabric!

2: I think it annoys my sister in law that I'm losing weight and exercising, and that makes me smile because I think I'm just a meanie hehehe. When she's ready, we're there as support but she has to make the choice.. we can't make her join those of us in the family who are getting more fit. She needs to join us in a serious way though.

3: I want to be able to buy cute clothes and dress the way I'd really like, and not feel like I need to hide behind sweats and big tshirts.

4: I want to be able to look down without having extra chin skin bunch up.

5: I want to get out of that disgusting "obese" tag on the BMI scale!

(but mostly I like to annoy my sister in law)

I'm still learning this, gotta remember to 'subscribe' to see responses! :)

@Thighs be gone- I'm in Frankfurt, where all kinds of tasty unhealthy food awaits me. Where were you?

Not far from you! Weisbaden. I was just in Frankfurt in November though for holiday. Yes, I agree--lots of WAY unhealthy foods awaiting one in Germany. I must say I ADORED German/Swiss breakfast layouts at the hotels or better B & B's.

Immediately, I am motivated right now by my upcoming wedding in May. Cameras everywhere. We paid our photographer a hefty sum because I love photos and want to cherish them for decades. I don't want to look back and think "I wish I had actually used my gym membership before my wedding. Why was I so lazy?" I too am guilty of facebook photo detagging. :o

Then comes summer. We're planning a honeymoon that will involve a beach which means a swim suit and I want to look good in it!

Later on this year, I want to wear one of those super cute Halloween outfits I see in the stores. I always seem to yo-yo the pounds back on around September and therefore I never participate in Halloween. This year I want to dress up as something hot for Halloween!

If I can make it to Christmas maintaining my goal weight, then the next step will be to get my pudgy husband-to-be to start losing his beer gut when he finds that I have moved in and there is nothing in the fridge except grilled fish and vegetable salads.
