[conwaylucas]

I definitely can relate to a lot of these. The tying the shoes thing always gets me.

for me it was to not have to hold your breathe while tying your shoes

[TruePerfection]

1st

[Amandarose531]

I knew I was fat when I had a few dozen pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of jeans because I had those exact problems haha.

Good read.

[injured44]

you could just sum it up as not to feel inferior which is basically what all those things come down to.

[lyrics312]

It was eye opening to me when I first read the list. I was surprised at how I relate to alot of those items but I never think about them because it reminds me of how out of shape I'm in. I thought it would serve as a good reminder & motivation to those that are trying to lose weight

[98dirtybird]

101. To not be called ralphie may or billy bob.
102. Not get stabbed from your belt buckle.

[Il_Dago]

Oh god #86. I thought I was doing well with in my losses until I saw a pic someone snapped of me at a party this weekend. I went to my truck and dropped f-bombs until I felt better.

103: To actually be able to believe and live #100 instead of just repeating it as a catchphrase.

[lyrics312]

bump for others to see

You are doing great in your losses I can relate to hating my pictures though, haha. I seriously doubt #99 is going to happen for me, ever. Food is way too good. Sure, it keeps getting easier but I still think about it. Moderation is the key to everything, I didn't exercise it before, now I do. It's made all the difference.

[lyrics312]

#104: To be able to help others lose weight properly
