What are your top 5 motivators for losing this weight that you can't do at your current weight?[/

So today marks my ONE WEEK with fatsecret and I have met a lot of very nice and motivating woman! I have a question for my buddies that I came across from another Fatsecret buddy.......

What are your top 5 motivators for losing this weight that you can't do at your current weight?

Mine would be...
1. To be Healthier
2. To have energy to play with my son and husband
3. To get new clothes I like not ones that look "ok"
4. To be able to ride ALL the rides at the amusement park
5. To just be back to a size that will help me appreciate everything again, all this extra weight is killing more than my health it is killing my soul too

1.Shop for great clothes.
2.Look beauiful in my clothes.
3.Feel comfortable in my clothes.
4.Look sexy without any clothes on.
5.Feel confident without any clothes on.

Wouldn't it be great if we could make a master list of "motivators" that we could all add to. Hey Mandie160 I agree with all of yours and would add
