What is?

What is your motivation of lossing 100+ lbs? Just curious.

Re: What is?

My motivation was to find the person I knew was hidden behind all the fat. I was miserable, ugly and not enjoying life at all. As I lost weight...my self confidence came back, I started to live life again instead of watching others live it.

My motivation now to keep it off is that I never want to go back to those days again. I feel so much better and my life has improved over 100%.

Re: What is?

I want to be feminine.
I no longer want to be the butt of jokes and stares.
I want to be normal a normal human being and not a freak of nature.
I never want to have to say: "When I get skinny I'm going to _____________."
I want to be healthy.
I want to live for a long time.
I want to learn to be more social and make new friends.
I want to get a decent job.
I don't want to embarrass my son and husband.

But short term... I just want to fit in the airplane seat when I fly in October.

Re: What is?

Good motivations!
And Kara, I bet your husband and son aren't embarrassed of you. They love you just the way you are.

My motivations are:
-I don't want to be a fat bride.
-I'm wanting to study overseas....I don't want to be the fat girl.
-I want to be healthy.
-I want to look hot How shallow, I know. But as a teenager I was quite a hottie and now...not so much.

Re: What is?

Being hot would be nice... That's a great goal! For me, I will settle for just looking human, LOL .

Here's to us and our goals!!!!!!

Re: What is?

My biggest motivation are my children. I have 4 gourgeous children and I don't want to end up with diabetes or any other diseases or illnesses. I want to be healthy for them and for myself. I was so atheltic in HS. I was the tall girl that weighed 180, but didn't look like it. I was very healthy, I played sports and was active...then I had my kids, all back to back. My twins will be 4 this week and I can not believe how little weight I have lost since I had them, it's my own fault though, I haven't given much of anything a real shot.

Three of my kids are boys and I want their friends to come over and say, "WOW, you're mom is hot, she can't really be ......(whatever age I am)." I get asked if I'm younger than what I really am, so I guess I have a young face, but I feel like I'm trapped in a 60 year old body. Does anyone else feel that way? Like you're way older than you are? My husband and kids keep me young at heart, but my body tells me I'm aging too fast....must...get back into shape!!!

Becoming healthier.

Be able to look into the mirror and not have to pose for myself to make myself look better.

When I dream, I'm always thinner, much thinner. I don't know if its my selfconscious telling me to lose weight or if its the real me inside trying to show me what I really am. I'm always surprised in my dreams at how I look, and there's always a moment where the fat me takes a second and comments that I look real good.

Re: What is?

This was so inspiring to me!!! Thanks for sharing. I have about 100 pounds to lose and I am on extended induction. The support here on Century Club is great! Hope I can pop by once in a while

My motivation of losing 100 pounds is:
To be healthy
To be around to see my kids grow up
To get my self esteem and confidence back again
To wear cute and sexy clothes not plus size ugly clothes!!
To not feel like everyone is staring at me in disgust
To have skinny lovin as mentioned above. Fat Sex is NO FUN!!! Whats the point?!
To climb a set of stairs without stopping at the top and gasping for air
To chase my two kids around the park
To live life again
For my kids to be proud of me and not feel embarressed of having a fat mom
To maybe meet "the one". I am a hermit right now and don't date
To be happy

this is what diabetes did to my mom. IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME.

Re: What is?

My Dad passed away at 64 years old and my grandpa was only 65. neither of them were overweight. I knew since heart disease is inherited that I better get my big butt in gear. Weighing 400 pounds just ups the odds of dying young by tenfold.

My main motivation for wanting to lose the weight was so that I could be around for my mother. She was very dependent on my Dad and I wanted to make her golden years as easy as possible. Dying young voids that plan. Thank God for this board and Dr. Atkins.

Re: What is?

I do feel like I'm in a much older person's body. Now that I've been on atkins, not so much. Before it was terrible.
Freud would have a ball with our dreams and the unconscious!

You ladies are cracking me up with the skinny sex! lol
