Awesome thread! I have a note card with my Top Ten Reasons for Losing Weight (and keeping it off) in my wallet. I'm not sure if these are them verbatim, but they're sure close!

1. I want to be healthy and live a long life.

2. I want to be able to shop for clothes without looking for the "Plus" or "Women's" section.

3. I want to go to my 10 year HS reunion and have people wonder who I am. Then when they find out, I want them to faint! LOL

4. Before I become pregnant, I want to be healthy for myself and my baby and also down the road so I am a good role model for my child(ren)'s health.

5. I want to feel sexy and be able to cross my legs all the way ;-)

6. I want to be a Tae-Bo Instructor someday.

7. I want guys to hit on me again (not that I would act on them b/c I'm married, but just that confidence is very nice!)

8. I want to go to an aerobics class and not feel like I'm the biggest one there.

9. I want to go to the beach or swimming pool and not worry about the way I look.

And last but definitely not least...

10. I want to be the thin me I know I am!

I thought of another one:

I don't want to have to shop at the dreaded "back wall" of the lingerine department.

Great thread!

1. Because I turned 30 last year and I know losing weight isn't going to get easier as I get older, but harder. Now is the time to do it!

2. Because I can already tell my son is going to have a struggle with his weight. I don't want to be a bad example for him, but a good one.

3. I always want my husband to think I'm as beautiful and sexy as the day we got married (I was only 19 and a size 5 at the time)!

4. Because I know how much of a difference carrying those extra 10 (or so) pounds around can make to your body. I want my body to thank me and treat me well as I get older.

5. I want people to look at me and be surprised that I've had 2 kids and gained over 60 lbs. with each of them!

I know there are more, but these are the first thoughts that came to my mind.

well some of my reasons are:

1) to be healthier
2) to fit into the millions of clothes I refuse to throw out because I promised myself I would fit into them again soon
3) to have my energy back
4) to make the men go crazy (tee hee hee)
5) to have more self confidence
6) to be impressed with myself again
7) to enjoy my disney trips more (with more energy, look better in the pictures,etc.)
8) to inspire others that they can do anything
9) this weight loss is the start of me rebuilding my life since I was so sick
10) to remind myself and everyone else that I can make things happen!!!

those are just a few........not to mention getting my dis wish goal clippie!!! hoping to hit my goal before my december trip and with the DIS Wish behind me anything is possible.

Have A Disney Day!!!!!!!!
