I am curious what everyones goals are to losing weight? Not your weight goal.. but like why you are losing weight and what size you want to be in clothing wise. Ya know you could want to be 155lbs and be 4'11" or 155lbs and 6'.

Also curious what area everyone is in?

I want to lose weight for health, to look good in clothes again.. etc. I want to be like size 16/18. I loved that size. Honestly because I know the weight won't come off the way it went on I figure I'll drop some extra weight/sizes and then let myself gain a little after.

I like extra meat on my things/butt.. I don't mind a little extra on my belly .. just not the HANGING down fat! I don't mind the little "kangaroo pouch" I use to have.

I live in the Seattle, WA area. I am from Orlando, Fl. Move here at 16.

There is such a thing as border line diabetic. I was probably border line diabetic before I got pregnant. I had gestational diabetes and it "went away" for a few months and it is back for good now. Now that I know what diabetes feels like I realize I had a lot of symptoms before getting pregnant.

I don't know what actually causes the hanging belly. I know people who have it and have never had children. I do think alot of it is genetics. I think I have really good genetics when it comes to body structure and how well my body holds weight. No one has ever been able to guess my weight! They always guess less. Even now-- but I think my body is starting to get fed up with my weight! It's starting to show more. So I need to help it out and get it back down!

I want to lose the weight to look better. I miss shopping for cute clothes and I want to turn a few heads when I walk down the street (there I said it.. As much as I hated this before, I sorta look forward for it now.. pitiful huh?)

I'm 5'5'' and I want to be at 165. When I was 165 I normally wore a size 10. I could even wear a size 8 in some cuts. I was surprised to read everybody's goal size. I guess I have super heavy bones or something. No complaining here.

I live in Cairo/Egypt.

Hi all,

Okay....I'm unsure of what my goal weight is....I think it's about 140lbs. I would like to wear a size 8/10....but who knows. I have lost 70lbs so far....and got about 46lbs to go. I went from a size 26 to a size 16!! I exercise 4-5 times a week....I do from 15-18 miles a week on the eliptical....and 3 days of weight training....to tone and firm....lol. I am 186 right now and am wearing a 16 quite comfortablely. When I wore a 16 years ago....I was about 10lbs less. I think I have more muscle mass than I did years ago. I started losing weight when I quit smoking. I didn't want to quit smoking and get too fat.223 when I quit, when I got to 256, I couldn't move. I'm 5'5"! Now, I bike ride with my three kids....and wear a bathing suit and actually swim with them.

I have a short term goal, I want to lose weight so when me and hubby(my fiance) get married I can wear a size 22w or 24w wedding dress. Long term I would like to be in a size 16/18 because I look and feel better at that size.

I am in Ashtabula, Ohio about 5 minutes from lake erie in northeast ohio.

My goal is to reach about 225. I am not sure what size that will put me in or anything though because I have been heavy all my life. I may want to lose maybe 50 more pounds after that, but not sure yet.

I want to lose the weight for a number of reasons, the main one being my health. I was diagnosed with diabetes this summer and i need to get it under control, I also have really really bad arthritis in my back and it is painful to walk very far, I don't want to wind up in a wheelchair so I gotta do something now. I also want to renew my wedding vows with my husband in a few years. Next month will be our 7th anniversary, and on our 10th anniversary I want to do the whole wedding thing I didn't get the chance to do when we got married 7 years ago. I didn't think I looked good enough to do the whole wedding dress, reception thing so we didn't.

I live in Oklahoma City, OK. I have lived here all my life. Maybe someday I will move somewhere else, but not quite sure where we are gonna go right now, if we go anywhere.
