I find it interesting that . . . (Biggest Loser Discussion)  

hi aurone!

but you know, i think the most effective plan is doing something for yourself. although it is good to do something for someone, the best motivation would be self preservation.

anyway, i am pregnant now and i have promised myself to lose the baby weight fast. then maybe i can get pregnant again. lol

good day and God bless you! :-)

Hello,I am losing weight for myself. For many reasons too. One of them is because I want to be around for my children. Another reason is because I hate the fact that there is so much more stuff that my friends can do that I can't. My goal is to try to get back to my high school weight if it is possible. I was 135 back then but after having four children I have gained so much weight. I hate the fact that when I go to amusement parks I can't ride half of the rides because my stomach is in the way. Plus I want to get back into my dress that I bought that I was only able to wear long enough for a couple weddings. When I get back into that dress I plan on taking my hubby out for celebration. I so can't wait because this is the year that I am going to make myself happy and put myself first for the very first time. I am the the type of mother,wife,daughter,sister,and aunt that always thinks of others first. I always put my family first. Now it is time for me to have this myself first moment. But that is why I am losing weight. Well I wish you good luck on your weight goal.
Happy Mylotting

Ya even i wanna loose weight but, the thing that inspires me is my Fiqance's teasing
Actually he keeps on starring at other girls n he likes skinny girls so, it really inspires me n moreover , i feel quite lazy all the time so, i feel that if i will loose weight . i will feel good

I'm trying to shed the pounds for me. My husband is really supportive and he would never been mean or look elsewhere, but I would like him to be proud of me for being a slim-wife instead of a not-so-slim one.

I'm also not prepared to buy myself a load more clothes when I already have a wardrobe full of perfectly good clothes, they are just a bit on the snug side.

I find it difficult to get motivated sometimes, and exercising is my biggest failing when dieting. But reading about the success of others spurs me on, so I am glad to hear that you are getting healthy for you.

All the best.

Hello Aurone,

I also watched the biggest loser last night...this is not something that i regularly watch, but like many people my new years resolution was to lose some weight. I am 155 pounds but I am tall so I don't look heavy....but I feel heavy. My clothes don't fit as well as they should. My husband jokes with me that am getting chuncky, but he never makes me feel bad about myself and he is still very attracted to me....I think your ex husband was a jerk....i think he had a problem not you, if he loved YOU it wouldn't matter how much weight you had put on....my husband has stuck with me and I have put on 50 pounds since meeting him, I've had 2 children so that of course adds on the pound. Anyways the reason I would like to lose weight is for myself and no one else. I want to get those second glances when I walk by again. Plus I want to get my Belly button pierce. That is my goal for this summer. I have already lost 5 pounds and my energy levels are up so I am keeping motivated...but I will tell you it is hard!!!!

Good luck and don't lose weight except for yourself

happy new year

five years ago i lost 150 lbs, that's a whole person,lol. i did it for me, not for my kids, not for my ex, not because i thought it would fix every thing in my life, but for me. those people on biggest loser are doing it for the money, it's a game. i have watched it, not very often though. i have a real problem with the trainers on that show. those are obese people for the most part, they have not been exercising, and they surely have not been counting calories. and the trainers having them jump right in and start doing training as if they exercised everyday, exercises that could be very damaging to their joints, muscles, etc.

You are right. We lose weight firstly for ourselves. Overweight is one of the upfront causes for high blood pressure. A doctor told me just by avoiding meat will not necessarily lead to weight losing. I will continue my walking and exercises to lose more weight. What is more, a good appearance is pleasing to others and enhance my self confidence.

I watched the biggest loser and they have some very very large people this time around dont they? and then they sent half the team home? IT was very different from how they usually do it.

Okay..on to the weight loss thing. The experts (who ever they are LOL) say you should do it for yourself or it wont stick. I think that is why some of the people from that show gain the weight back. The guy from I think it was season one..gained all his weight back but he won the money. He wasnt in it for the right reasons. I would like to see the revisit some of the contestants to see how they are doing now. Sounds like your better off without your exhusband...I used to joke I lost 215lbs when my husband left because that was what he weighed!

I have been doing the dieting thing myself...exercise is the easy part controlling what I put in my yap is not lol! I have the hardest time not eating after 7.

Good luck!

I'm sorry that your ex told you this. Mine did the same thing, and is also my ex. The funny part of that story is the woman he chose as his new partner 10 years ago is now heavier than me! LOL

I also watched the Biggest Loser. Its one of my favorite programs. I'm also working to lose some weight and get in better shape. And I'm doing it for myself. I have health issues and I'm worried that they will keep getting worse if I don't take care of myself. Congrats on your weight loss so far, and good luck with it in the future.

I think doing it for your kids is for yourself... YOU want to be there a long time to be able to take care of your kids!!!!

I am losing my weight for my kids and my husband. I want to get my figure back that I had 17 years ago !!!
