No matter where you are in your weight loss journey, I want to know what it is you want to accomplish by losing weight. How do you want to feel or think you will feel? If you have already met your goal weight, do you feel the way you thought you would....better....worse???

This is meant for motivation.....

I will kick it off...


I want to get out of bed every morning and actually want to take a shower and get ready because I know when I'm done getting ready I will be a hot hottie!!! LOL

I want to be able to go shopping and not go to the plus sized stores. I want to be able to find cute clothes that fit me and are flattering!

I want to be able to wake up next to my husband every morning (I used to not snore the the fatter I get the worse it gets. Now he goes to bed with me but as soon as I start snoring he gets up and goes to his room )

I want to have control over what I eat. I want to run my life....NOT FOOD!!!

Okay so thats a start...you guys tell me what you want ....or what do you imagine your life like at your goal weight????

I'm not quite at goal yet, but pretty close. Close enough that I appreciate things in a whole new light.

I get up every morning knowing that weight is never going to be a reason for health problems.

I love to go through a crowd unnoticed, not worrying that someone is going to yell insults at me

I now revel in clothes shopping, even though I still shop at Goodwill LOL!

I love knowing that I can eat yummy food, and that yummy food is good for me!

I love that my husband can't keep his hands off me (and I thought it was bad before )

For me, a huge goal was to jog 5K without stopping. I can do that now. While I don't know if the goal itself is enjoyable (still not sure if I actually enjoy jogging) - but the feeling of having accomplished that is a great big high!

That is so awesome! I'm so happy for you..


I want what she said too...LOL

I want...
to reach my goal by August 30 or be close to it, I have been dieting for 2 1/2 years now!
- I Want to be thin because :
I want to not be so self concious
I want to enjoy the way I look and wear smaller tighter clothes
I want to be healthy
And mostly I want to lose this weight so finally I can be happy!!!!

I want to lose because i want to be confident in myself again. Even at a seze 12 I was prolly the most confident person you would ever meet and now not so much.

I want to be able to run a 7min mile again. (this is going to take a lot of work)

I want to be able to control my hunger and have more self control over binges.

I want to be sexy and curvy not cute and lumpy

I want to be happy just being me!

*I want to feel comfortable wearing more than the one same stupid outfit I wear EVERY day ..

* I want to buy cute clothes and have fun with fashion again .. I ALWAYS loved clothes soooo much ( A obsession) now I dread even having to go get a single pair of jeans... ugh

* I want to be able to actually wear ANY bathing suit.... ( without wanting to drop dead)

* I want my husband to be attracted to me again ( trust me he is NOT )

* I want to be comfortable to get dressed in front of my husband again.

* I don't want to always think about what other people are thinking about me .. If they see the same thing I do ..or do they see worse or better? I HATE being so self conscious...

* I want to feel good about how I look again

* I want to look good and be a good role model for my kids teach them to be healthy and eat RIGHT.

* I want to get back my confidence , I remember when I'd go into public and not even think twice about it !.

* I really really want to stop being depressed about how I look .

* I want to wear shorts and tanks and SKIRTS and dresses.... did I mention SKIRTS? In the summer time when its HOT.

* most of all I just want my happy life back .

man that is ALOT of wants ! I jsut wish I WANTED to go exercise

I want people to not be able to guess my age (from behind anyway ).
I want to fit into the pair of jeans I wore on our honymoon (that I still have - and have now moved from a box in the garage into the "pretty soon" closet in the spare room ) - they are now in the "vintage" category so would be oh so chic
I want to always walk with a confident stride instead of slouching and lumbering along.
I want to be able to maintain my healthy attitude long enough that people who know me forget I how fat I was; and people who meet me for the first time think I've been thin and fit all my life.


Oooh, this was good. Sometimes I get in a bit of a rut and forget to reaffirm my commitment. Thanks.

I want to be able to buy super sexy clothes in normal shops.

I want to be able to go swimming in the pool, I dont use our communal pool as I dont want people seeing me in a swinsuit.

I want to be able to feel sexy.

I want my confidence back.

I want to look in the mirror and smile instead of feeling like crying.

OMG...WOW!

This is sooo good! I can relate to sooooo many of these....the one about wearing the same outfit everyday...thats me!!!! I only have a few things to wear that are comfortable...I always keep myself from buying clothes because I keep telling myself you'll lose weight and those clothes will be too big...either that or I can't find anything that fits cause everything is to small....YEAH RIGHT.....IF THAT SHIRT IS AN XXL THEN I'M A SUPER MODEL....LOL

I too have a pair of jeans that I hope to fit back into.....and I'm so glad this post could help motivate you!!

And I too want to cry everytime I look in the mirror and see my 50 chins...LOL

I guess that is another want....I WANT TO HAVE ONLY ONE CHIN!!!!

Doesn't if feel great to know that we aren't the only person who feels the way we do? That we aren't crazy.....or stupid.....or incapabile of having what we want!!!!!!

Thanks everyone

Once I reach my goal I want to

Go shopping be able to wear cute clothes not plus size

I want to wear a Bikini or atleast a Tankini without a shirt over it next summer

I want to wear less clothes in the summer time because even though its like 80 90 degrees outside in the summer I almost always wear pants because I hate my legs and if I do wear shorts my thighs rub together and if I go somewhere like Kings Island and Amusement park and wear shorts eventually my legs get all sweaty and I get a rash on my thighs from them rubbing together how unattractive.

I want my fiance to find me irristable and for him not not be able to keep his hands off me like he use to when I was thinner.
