Hmmm, a couple of my shallow reasons. ;)

I want to be in front of the camera, not always hiding behind it as the family photographer.

I'm tired of being the fat mom at playgroups. :o

My hubby is gone right now (military), when he gets back I want him to go :love: :T I don't want to look like the mom of 3 kids. ;)

Oh, another shallow reason is that since my guy lives in a different state, I only get to see him once a month or so. So I like it when he sees me again and says "You look f***ing awesome, babes!"

Makes me grin just thinking about it.

I am so glad I am not the only one that finds shallow things somewhat motivating--okay, sometimes LOTS motivating. I got Christmas cards done this past weekend. I used a family photo that was taken two weeks ago--usually I just send Christmas photos of the kids. The people in my life that made things more difficult than need be before--well, I am loving it. All they had over me before was the way they looked. What do those have now. NUTTIN'! :)

:D:D I'm am so with you! A friend is coming over Thursday evening to take some family photos of our family around our tree. I was going to have her take about 20 or 30 digital pics so I can pick the best one of me...LOL ;)

My extended family and friends have to know something is up when I only send pictures of the kids!

To answer Ufi question, my biggest motivator to stay on plan is to prove I can keep it off this time. I have heard a few gossips around town about how I'll never keep the weight off :(...and by next year I hope to be at goal for several months and feeling and looking better than ever. :devil:

My 20 year reunion is this spring. I will be entering @ a lower weight than I was in high school--140. Not to mention I will be decked from head to toe for it! I want to be the MILF for a change! How is that for shallow????

Health will always be my main reason for losing weight, however, being able to feel confident about myself doesn't hurt either. This summer all of my friends and their boyfriends/girlfriend's and me are going to Las Vegas. I've been to Vegas numerous times but I have ALWAYS been the "fat friend". I just don't want to be that girl anymore. All of my friends are thin/"normal" sized and since it is going to be summer in Vegas, the swimming pools are definitely going to be packed.

I just want to be able to wear cute clothes without worrying what flab or roll is hanging out. I want to be able to wear a bikini as well. I have never worn one in my life and I really want to be able to.

I had a yellow bikini when I was young. My mom took a picture of me in a hotel pool, and that was the first time I remember thinking that I was fat. Wow, that was pounds and pounds ago. I'd forgotten about that. What a horrible trip. My dad ended up getting really sick and had to be hospitalized for awhile.

I have never worn a bikini and I never will. I'd be happy to sport a slimming miracle suit in a decent size.
