Well, let's see I have been fat all my life and have tried every diet imaginable.  I just want to see what I look like skinny.  I believe that if I could get thin I would never be fat again because I would be so happy I wouldn't let that happen.  So I guess we will see what happens.  Right now I am 5'5 and a half and I weigh 230lbs.  Everyone says I don't look like it and I don't think so either but I carry it well.  I have even had someone say oh your legs are perfect, its your belly that you need to loose.  Wasnt that nice of them.  So anyway I am trying and we will see.
