Red face One reason to stay on track today

I found a thread here last week with a similar heading and i cannot for the life of me find it!! so im going to start my own...

Today my reason to get my butt of the couch and do some exercise, to eat properly and to stay motivated is:

My best friends wedding next October where i am a bridesmaid and helped chose the amaizing bridesmaid dresses.... i want to look beautiful in it and not be self conscience about myself...


Anyone is more than welcome to post their own reasons

You can totally reach your goal by next October! How exciting!

I am pretty sure my Boyfriend will ask me to marry him soon-ish (maybe X-mas).... I mean, we have already talked about it many times for practical reasons, but he wants to surprise me with a proposal. Anyway, I'd like to get a bit leaner now in preparation for wedding photos! (I HATE taking photos!)

Another is that I'll be 30 in January - I feel like, for the first time in my life, I have the tools to effectively and healthily lose weight and keep it off (YES, its taken 15 years to learn this, but particularly with the help of 3FC). No more fad diets or starvation followed by immediate weight gain for me.

Thanks for starting this thread - I NEEDED this thread today.

Today is my birthday. I am officially in the latter part of my 20s. Much like Unna, it is now that I need to start caring for myself. I can't wait until "tomorrow"



.....also, my wedding is in two months and I want to look good for that

Happy Birthday thinnerthanhim!!

I want to stay on track today because I bought 2 pairs of made-to-measure jeans, and either I measure badly or they don't do exactly what you ask, cuz they are both TIGHT! I spent $150 on them so I'm gonna get into 'em SOON! lol

It used to be for vanity reasons but now its for health. I still want to look good but now health is my main motivator.

I want to stay on track because I like the way I feel right now. I hate the out-of-control feeling of eating with abandon that I had before I started my plan. I think I need boundaries.

BTW, happy birthday, thinnerthanhim!

Today I will stay on track because I want to finish what I started, I want to fit into the dress I bought to wear to a wedding in November, and I want to match my pledge to Sarge.

I'm going to stay on plan because I hit a new low weight today, and now when I lose one more pound I will weigh the same as my partner - something that has not happened ever before in our >15 years together!

Also, because I am really looking forward to lifting weights tonight and I want to feel lean and strong when it's time for my session, not bloated and full.

I will stay on plan today because I like the way I look in the mirror and how much more energy I have compared to the lethargy before I started.

I want to stay on plan today because I secretly (well not so secretly now) want to reach my goal by my anniversary in 2 weeks. I lose in spurts, so it's completely possible if I lose about 7 pounds in one week like I did last month (I only lose for about 7-10 days a month due to gaining around TTOM and ovulation).

I'm not going to be upset if I don't make it, but it is pushing me to be really good these days. FOR SURE I want to be out of the 180s by then. It will be the thinnest i've ever been since being married and since our dating (18 years married, almost 19 with dating)

I will stay on plan today BECAUSE it won't be easy to do. It's is a big challenge since I'm on a business trip (hotel, no fridge, catered meals, no close grocery, etc). If I can do it now, I can do it anywhere and any time!
I am also feeling quite calm in my body and the work I'm doing to lose the crazy cravings.

I am also stepping onstage in front of 2,000 people tonight and want to feel thin-thighed and confident!
