I know that it is important that we are all losing the weight for ourselves, but come on, let's be honest - is there anyone you really want to see once you are at your goal weight and in a killer outfit? Just so you can smile and think "eat your heart out??"

For me, there is an ex or two that I'd really like to "run into." Sometimes, when I don't think I can do another 15 minutes on the treadmill, or another set on the weight machines, I picture that "reveal!"

When I was losing that one person in the back of my mind was my ex (this was before I met my DF).

I did get to see him (he lives in a different state) about a year after I lost and it was worth every drop of sweat. Jaw on floor, eyes popping out of his head suprise. It was perhaps the most disarmed I ever saw him (he is a Navy Seal).

My ex-fiance.

Definitely my college buddies (1st year reunion is in May), including my former boyfriends and romantic flames! Also my future classmates when I go back to school in the fall.

EDIT: Also my grandma, who has always said less than generous things about my appearance (though never to my face). My extended family are all thin and gorgeous, while my siblings and I all got some kind of hidden chunky gene.

I'm going LARPing again in April (hard to explain...let's just say it's like a renaissance faire, sort of) and I'm going to be seeing people I haven't seen in over a year. I'd like to be about 15 pounds lighter by mid-april and in fantastic shape! I've only got about 6.5 weeks till then

At my goal weight, I'm looking forward to wowing my sister and grandparents (who I'll see this summer). And if I happen to see an ex boyfriend or two...that wouldn't hurt, either. I'm hoping to hit my goal by the end of May for my graduation--we'll see!

All my family who are coming to my graduation!


and probably my best friend's mom...who asked me if I was pregnant last time she saw me!

I've only my met DF mom and dad, so the rest of the family seeing me at my best is very important. Also my sister is due back home in six weeks, she has been gone for 6 months, so I'm hoping for the wow factor with her.

a lot of my newer friends have never seen me in shape - they've only known me to be the weight i am at this moment. i can't wait to go out again and for people to see me all fit-like, especially this really cute guy i know (who has a girlfriend, but whatever!). thanks to this thread i have the motivation to go work out!

Funny, but I don't think there's anyone specific I'd want to do an 'eat your heart out' type meeting, but I'd probably want to drop in on the group of people I worked with when I first started losing weight. I worked in a big plant, but I was surprised by how many people were really encouraging. I'd like to see some of them when I'm finally finished and say thanks (since I always think I was a little shy about it).

Of course, on the opposite side, I'm almost embarassed to see some of them since I gained some of it back... (not as badly as now since I've started losing again).

Well, I'm like RealCdn... No one in particular that I want to see me in my new fit body. Kinda everyone I met once upon a time. I think mostly the people I went to high school with. But just everyone, because I know I'm gonna be one smokin babe. I mean I already get compliments, like your so pretty and so on, but for people to see me all small, it'll be the best! I know I'll have just about everyone eatin out the palm of my hand

I'll admit it! When I need that extra motivation I think of all those people I want to impress when I'm a Skinny Minnie!

The most important one is a guy that I'm in a long distance relationship with. We haven't met yet, but plan to this summer. He's definitely the one that I want to Wow the most.

My family would be the next one. I've never been tiny, so it'll be nice to see their reactions when they see me at a 'normal' size.

And lastly would be an ex all the way back from High school. He's not so important to me as the others. I really couldn't care less if I never see him again, but if I do I want to blow him away

My high school classmates. It'd be nice to make their jaws drop.

And of course, my dad's family. They've been on my case about losing weight since I was little....so yeah.

my ex-fiance and his entire family.

anyone I went to high school with (I'm only slightly smaller now than I was in HS, but by goal, it would be awesome)

anyone I went to college with (this is probably the best one - imagine a 5'5", 230lb dance major... they wouldn't know me now, let alone by the time I make goal)

The dressing room mirror! A 3-way!

I want shopping to be FUN again, and to prance around think, "gosh I'm so cute!" instead of shopping leading me to feel bad about myself.
