I think its great that you want to get to know everyone and know there goals. As for me I want to look amazing on my wedding day which is Nov 9th 2008 so that gives me a year to loose at least 100lbs. My other goals is to show my kids that when you work hard for something you get what you want. I have always been the type of person who if I dont see results right away I give up I am like whats the point but since I have kids who look up to me and see my actions I need to show them to go for there dreams. I want to be a healthy mom and wife . I dont mind being a bbw and I do love my curves so I dont want to loose any of that I just want to have a better shape to my body and look better in clothes. I want to wear a swim suit after not having one for almost 8 years. I plan on going to some kind of beach place for my honeymoon and want to be able to wear a swim suit and be proud of what I have done. I hope that everyone is doing well and on there way to reaching there goals. I have just started mine and I know that I can do it .

I was starting to workout and eat healthier earlier this year when I injured my back. I was down for about 6 months. I lost a lot of strength and gained a lot of weight. My goal is to be able to ride my bike like before...I have a great bike and it is just sitting in my garage (missing me). I would also like to have enough strength and stability in my body to dance in a dance class. Additionally, I would like healthy food choices and preparation to come easy to me.
Those are my future goals, but my TODAY goal is to speak lovingly to myself as I begin changing what have been lifelong habits, to forgive myself for the injury my weight has done to my body and to understand where my habits have come from (self-protection), to find new and better outlets for my feelings.

Baby steps,
Rae

I have a bad hip, and all this extra weight just adds strain to it. So I'd like to lose in order to have a healthier life and to keep my hip a bit longer!

I want to look better and feel better about the way I look. I also want to feel better and have more energy.

I've wasted 35 years of my life. I want that time back. I know people in their 50's that live a more exciting life than me. That's what I want. I want the next 35 years to be everything this last 35 could have been.

Other than that, I've got a two items of clothes from when I was in my early 20's and in the best shape I'd ever been in. A pair of cut off shorts that I never could wear in public and a black shirt that I had some pictures taken with once upon a time. I want more pictures in it. I have taken care of that shirt for over 13 years now.
