What do you want from losing weight?

Posted on 06/16/08, 09:25 am
Lots of people wants to lose weight for many reasons.
Mine is for me to feel confident in myself, look good in my clothes, have more energy and for a better sex life. All add up to me being Happier with myself. Also me and my fiance are looking to have kids soon and get married and i just wont feel to happy doing that with how i look now. Having my picture taken on, what would be the best day of my life, and looking back on my fat pictures wouldnt be very nice. im looking to loose 5 or 6 stone (70 - 84 pounds) and that is alot to loose but in time i hope to do it but i know that it will take alot of time and effort and thats why i started this group.
Tell me what you would like to get from losing the weight and how much you would like to loose and i will help you.

    I need to lose at least 80 pounds, but I am realistic that this will take at least up to 2 years to drop it in a healthy manner.
    Number one priority with my weight loss is to extend my life!!! I want to live to see my little girl marry! I want to exercise and enjoy the outdoors with my children. My youngest is just 4 so I have lots of years left to enjoy travel, outdoors and parks. I do want to feel sexier about myself also. I feel like there are no angles now that I could possibly take a picture that look good!
    So to sum it up my expectations from weight loss are
    1. Better health and longer possibilities of life
    2. Ability to do more with my children, more possibilities in our life.
    3. Feel sexier and better about myself.
    Let's Do It!!!

    I want to be able to wear whatever I want without wearing magic knickers LOL

    I climbed a mountain a few years ago & felt fantastic afterwords! It was such an achievement. I would love to be that fit again

    I want to be able to go shopping and comfortably put on a size 4 again. I am taking trip to DC this summer withmy 16 year old and went shopping and I cried for about an hour afterwards and didn't buy anything....

    I want to look and feel sexy again and I want to be able to feel comfortable in a bathing suit. I used to love hanging out at the pool with the kids. I haven't worn a suit in years because I don't like the way I look in one...

    i'm not just overweight i am obease and i want to lose the weight so i dont grow up with heart problems (im only 17 but my life expectancy is 34). i have never been in love or even had a boyfriend and i cant help but feel like its because of my weight. i want to lose weight for alot of reasons but i guess the main one is to prove to myself that i can do it! im sick of people telling me i cant and getting teased for been overweight- i am a confident person but i thik ive let it become more nieve then confidence and i have been lying to myself for years by saying that im not fat.

    i just want to go to my 18th feeling fabulous and truely comfortable with who i am and not forced confidence.
