My biggest NSV is to be able to find a pair of knee high boots in a normal store.
Another is to ride Dragon Challenge at universal Orlando!

I'm simple, my wake up call was the team of guys at 6 flags that had to push down on the roller coaster safety bar so I could ride.
I just want to get on and secure the safety bar without a team pushing

I am looking forward to:
Taking my son to an amusement park without having to worry if I can fit into the rides.
Having a lap.
Shopping in normal size clothing stores.
Not being the fat sister/daughter.
Being healthy.
Feeling good about the way I look.
Having more energy.
And many more wonderful things!

To stop being the only person sweating in the room!
To wear my husbands T shirts
To get excited when getting dressed

This may be silly, especially since it might not happen for me genetically.... but I really want to see my collar bones.

To walk into Talbots and buy size 8 pants/shorts/skirt. Any size 8 bottom. To walk into any department store and shop in any of the departments not just Plus. To paint my own toenails. To not looks like the Goodyear Blimp at my older daughter's HS Graduation in June 2017.

Having to buy new clothes - often
Being proud of how I look in photos
Surprising my family (out of state) when I see them in October
Being able to get in and out of my car without contorting myself
Being comfortable without a shirt on at the beach
Taking the stairs at work without getting winded
Getting rid of my CPAP machine
Discontinuing high blood pressure meds

My goals... buy women's clothes instead of big baggy men's shirts, yoga, swim, school, travel,

For starters:
Being able to play with my 8-yr old son more. He just came in the room and told me "your the best dad ever." All three of my kids are great but I've gotten better now since my wife and I have 3 (no more!) I just want to run and play with my baby. Take walks with him, take him to the zoo, hiking in caverns, and go to his school to pick him up without feeling self conscious about how I look. This is my #1 NSV

Jumping on a trampoline, swinging, riding rides with my daughter.
Not sweating all the time.
Being able to wear non plus size clothes.
My husband being able to pick me up .
Getting my sex drive back!
So many more things, these were just the first I thought of.

I can relate to a lot of things other posters said. The one thing I can't wait for is being able to get a shoulder purse that fits my arms and looks proportionate to my body.

Going back to belly dance. I don't like "exercise" but I love to dance. I'm so out of shape now my heart rate maxes out just walking for a few minutes. In the same vein, I want to drag my husband to swing dance lessons.
Other than that, many of the same things other people have said - fit in "normal" chairs and airline seats, shop at "regular" clothes stores, less pain in joints.

I have a few that I am happy about being able to do soon.
*** Sitting on a chair without my arms folded in front of me to hide my flubbers.
*** Being comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit to the beach.
*** Not being so insecure that I need a jacket everywhere I go to hide my body.
*** My back, ankle and knee not hurting anymore.
*** Taking a crazy amount of pictures at places I go to.
I'm tired of being ashamed of my appearance... Good luck to everyone!

I have reached a lot of NSV that I never thought about before. Sitting curled up, fitting in the middle seat of the car, comfortably fitting in benches and chairs when out with hubby, crossing legs, sitting with knees to chest, painting toes, wearing "regular" clothes, buying a form fitted dress, wearing heels without feeling like my feet will fall off,

I made a list from A to Z of what my long term goals and wishes are. Airplane seats all the way to zip lining! Some interesting ones that make me laugh, and one or two that made me cry. But basically I want a healthier body to live the rest of my life enjoying instead of hating each lump and roll.
Love reading these posts and the before/after photos, so inspiring!

My goals are similar to everyone else's... Be able to fit comfortably at a booth, able to ride roller coasters again, lose the weight I need to in order to have abdominal hernia surgery and removal of excess belly apron. That's my biggest goal, I've had a hanging belly all my adult life & can't wait to get rid of it forever!!

I love this post! I've been keeping a list actually.
1. Take a surfing lesson
2. Take a dance class.
3. Go paddle boarding in hawaii.
4. Shop with girlfriends
5. Not feel like my belly has a life of its own!

Be Happy !!!

I would love to take horseback riding lessons without fear of hurting the horse. Most of all I would just like to be able to walk without using my cane.

My goal is to cross my leg and fit in a size 10

My long term goal is to be able to shop in the same stores as my daughter when she gets to be a teen. She's almost two, so it's a very long term goal!
Near term, I want to be able to ride roller coasters, get scuba certified and dive with my husband, and not have to use a seatbelt extender on the airplane.

When I started my bariatric process last June I was wearing 6xl shirts.
I'm now buying and wearing 2xl shirts.
By the Fall, I'd ove to make good on my threat to my son and raid his closet for a couple cool 1x shirts he owns.
