Skinny Bucket List

My weight is coming off pretty good. My first big goal is 50 pounds and I'm at 33 now. To Celebrate I'm going to learn to ride a motorcycle and buy a Harley :D I keep telling people it's on my skinny bucket list. Even though I'm getting the whole 'you're crazy!' thing from people. Actually here's my whole skinny bucket list:

1. Ride a Harley

2. Get back on a roller coaster

3. Get a boyfriend (:wub:)

4. Wear a bikini (of course, that's my final bucket list item :D)

So, what's on your bucket list? Maybe I can add some ideas to mine :)

i hear ya on the clothing store. I agree also about the roller coaster. I once went to great america with a friend (male) stood in line for over an hour only to get there and not be able to fit in the seat. OMG! how embarrassed was I. My friend was wonderful. He took his ride. i met him at the bottom and he never once said anything, we went on with our day like nothing happened! LOL

Ooh! I'd like to be able to comfortably do a roller coaster again. I always tell my friends "I just don't like it anymore" but the truth, it's just not comfortable, or I don't fit, and it's embarrassing! I guess along with that sit comfortably in a movie theatre seat, and an airplane seat. It's getting a lot easier, but I want to not be touching the sides ahha.

My #1 thing is I want to be able to go in to ANY women's clothing store and buy clothes. Now, I won't ever be skinny mini, I'm a big girl, I'm tall. But I want to be able to buy anything I want from New York & Company, or Express a regular store. Hell, I'd love to buy some cheap disposable clothes from Forever 21! ahah

Ok, so this is embarassing but...

1) be naked in front of my husband and not feel shy

2) be able to fully participate in intimate moments (sex) with hubby

3) to just not have to wear clothes to try to hide flab. I know I may need excess skin removed down the road to fully accomplish this

4) to go hiking again

Well I would love to:

1) Shop for clothes anywhere I want

2) Tie my shoes (with the bow in the middle...lol...)

3) Re take my picture for work (a skinny version)

4) wear a tankini

5) walk a marathon

6) wear a higher heel shoe

7) buy a really good pair or trendy jeans

This is a terrific post.... There are so many things that I want to do which I have never been able to or at least not for a very long time. Although mine are not so adventurous but maybe those will come after I acheive some of my others!

So here goes not in any particular order:

  1. Wear shorts again (without thighs rubbing or shorts riding up)
  2. Cross my legs
  3. Not feel winded after walking up stairs
  4. Have more energy
  5. Go on the roller coaster (or other amusement park rides) with my kids
  6. Have less back pain
  7. Feel more confidence
  8. Not be self concious with regard to being with my husband
  9. Not have my shirts be tight in the arms
  10. Not need the seatbelt extender when flying

There are more I'm sure but this was my initial list! I can also sympathize with the tying shoes and having the tie be in the middle.... that's a good one too!

Faith

Great topic!

1) Shop wherever I want for clothes

2) Wear heels without my feet blowing up like balloons

3) Stop hiding from cameras

4) Have more fun during, uh, "private time" with fiance blush.gif

5) Being able to wear lingerie for said private time and not wanting to hide in the bathroom

6) Finally feeling comfortable in my own skin

7) Walking up stairs without breathing like a rhinoceros

8) Tie shoes without holding my breath

9) Cross my legs properly

10) Actually have a hairstyle that looks cute instead of one that hides my fat face

11) Do a boudoir photo shoot for fiance

12) Rock my wedding dress!

Love this

1) put the tray down when flying - goal date - Dec'11

2)lay on the beach in Hawaii in regular swim suit - goal date Dec'11

3)Feel comfortable in a theatre seat

4)Ride a bike

5)Able to walk to the top of Waterfall Gully - (Mt Lofty)

And finally

6)Get a tummy tuck and a boob lift!

Oh, and i can probably already do number 1) (whoo hoo) but i am not flying again until will go to Hawaii in December so wont know for sure until then.

My list is short and simple :)

1. Wear a bikini ( if I cant wear a bikini by this summer I'll scream, Ive had so many surgeries)

2. Run a 5k race I have never been a runner. I'd love to do one of these with my friends.

1. go zip lining

2. ride a roller coaster

3. fly in an airplane comfortably WITHOUT a seatbelt extender

4. kayaking

5. repelling

6. wear shorter skirts and tank tops in public

7. buy a pair of high heals, or at least kitten heals. i can only wear flats right now

8. buy a pair of trendy boots...my calves are too big to wear them right now.

9. apply for a better job. so difficult because people don't like to hire fat people.

10. travel, travel, travel and see the world

I just had to repost this because these are all on my skinny bucket list..also

bungee jumping

parasailing

get on every ride except the kiddie ones at Disney and six flags!

Go on vacation to Jamaica and Hawaii and feel my sexiest!!!!

Feel like i'm being looked at and admired instead of how heavy I am.

Just to comfortably cross my legs

Not to see groans on peoples faces when i sit next to em on the subway. just tooo many to name.

My goal was always simple. I wanted to walk into Victoria Secrets and buy a matching bra and panty set once I hit goal. Well I'm at goal now and we dont have the extra money for me to do it. :(

One day I would love a tummy tuck and boob job!

Great Idea! I just love this post and I've gotten some super ideas, too! Here's my list:

The biggies:

1. Ride my horse more, and be able to get on without a mounting block.

2. Zip lining with my sister in Costa Rica.

3. Scuba diving - or at least snorkeling

4. Tropical vacation or cruise with DH.

Every day pleasures:

5. Shopping at the mall - and finding clothes that fit.

6. Fitting in a theater/plane seat

7. Being able to squat - and get back up

I'm being banded this Wednesday and I can hardly wait! Here is what my 'bucket list' looks like...

1. Sit in and fit into booths/chairs/roller coasters etc without fear of not being able to fit or breaking anything.

2. Being able to shop in any store and know that there will be something there for me to wear.

3. Shopping in stores like Victoria's sec./express/american eagle/gap with my friends and being able to enjoy trying on clothing along with them

4. Being able to cross my legs comfortably

5. Would love to be able to RUN and not feel like I'm going to die

6. Fit into old jewerly or special outfits that I've not been able to wear in years

7. Looking forward to feeling good in my skin again!

8. Wear clothing more appropriate for someone my age; esp skirts and shorts and not worry about the 'chub rub' (i heard it called that recently and had to laugh) in between my legs!

How fun is this???

  1. walk up the stairs to the top of the Eiffle tower in Paris
  2. Hike a few mountain trails
  3. ride a bike without feeling like I'm going to faint
  4. tummy tuck, thigh and arm lift. Still deciding on what to do if anything with the girls
  5. scuba diving
  6. and the list could go on.....

Things already accomplished:

  1. fly with the lap tray down correctly
  2. fly without a seat belt extender and fit in my seat without sucking in body parts
  3. fit in a booth
  4. walking small / large hills with walking paths
  5. buying clothes in a non-plus size specialty shop

I love love love this post.....

I want to.......

Wear a skirt that is above my knees

Wear something sleeveless

Wear shorts

Wear a bathing suit in public
