I recently joined a weight loss competition with my family. I could really use some motivation/inspiration. I paid $20 to join. There are 5 of us in the competition. The person who loses the most pounds wins $50, and the person who loses the biggest percentage of his/her original body weight wins $50. The money would be nice, but I'm actually a little more excited about feeling a little more confident in my clothes. I've compiled a list of I want to lose weight because... What do you think?
Because I want to look better in clothes
