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 :)

Nice! That is so inspirational!

Here is my list:

1. Wear shorts in public without being self-conscious

2. Buy new panties and bras from Victoria Secrets (bye bye granny panties)

3. Wear a bikini

4. buy my first pair of capiris

Oh!!! How fun!!!!!!

1. I love love love maxi dresses - want to wear one without looking like a linebacker (I got boobs too so this may or may not happen even when I'm thin).

2. Not feel uncomfortable during sexy time with the b/f...constantly asking if he's looking at my fat. blink.gif

3. Go to water parks in the area and feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy them, not asking for a 2 piece, but at least not a skirted suit.

4. Take up swimming again. I swam competitively for years and want to get back to doing that.

5. Not have to worry about being smooshed in a booth/movie seat/plane/roller coaster....etc. I've never been turned away from a ride, but man have my hips been mad at me after being smooshed into some of those seats.

6. CLOTHES. I'm a clothes whore now, I don't even want to know what kind of shopoholic I'm going to be once I can go anywhere.

Yea!! I'm glad I'm not the only 'crazy' person here :) I can't wait til I get mine...

"I bought a Harley at 100 pounds lost.... i got the same response your crazy.... It's fun and very liberating. "

Hey all,

I'm new around here. My banding is this Friday...My BIG BIG BIG skinny bucket list top item is wearing a pair of hot leather pants, AND looking darn good in them. Leather pants would go great with your Harley....Keep it up....you are doing great, with one heck of a great outlook.

Ok, so my Skinny Bucket List is growing, but I'll put what I have so far. Many of these have already been said. They seem like the simplest things, but when I lose weight and can do these "simple" things again I will not take them for granted!

  • CROSS MY LEGS COMFORTABLY
  • PAINT MY TOENAILS WITHOUT STRAINING
  • CHANGE CLOTHES INFRONT OF OTHERS
  • WEAR A BATHING SUIT WITHOUT SHORTS OVER IT
  • RIDE A ROLLER COASTER
  • HAVE HUSBAND PICK ME UP
  • WEAR AN ANKLET
  • WEAR SHORTS IN PUBLIC
  • BUY A BRA FROM VICTORIA’S SECRET
  • WEAR SUN DRESSES/SKIRTS IN THE SUMMER W/OUT A GIRDLE
  • WEAR SLEEVELESS SHIRTS
  • SHARE CLOTHES WITH MY SISTER
  • CONFIDENTLY SIT IN A RESTAURANT BOOTH W/OUT FEAR OF BEING TOO BIG
  • SING INFRONT OF AN AUDIENCE
  • GO SKYDIVING
  • WEAR A SLUTTY HALLOWEEN COSTUME (even if just at home lol)

1. Walk into any store and buy clothes without worrying if it will fit (and probably just stop wearing jeans and a t shirt since I've always hated clothes shopping)

2. Be comfortable on an airplane and not try to book my seat without anyone sitting next to me.

3. Someone said ride a horse, I think I'd like to do this without feeling I'm hurting the horse

4. Not be scared to death to wear a dress at my sisters wedding in November

5. Wear shorts

6. Be able to go to an amusement park and not wonder if I'll fit on this ride

7. Be more confident and not be scared to do things like dance in front of people

  • Get back onto a swim team
  • Climb a ladder or stand on a chair and not break them
  • Never have my mom worry about me breaking her new furniture
  • Learn every kind of dance I can
  • Have kids

Not panic about driving with other people because I might have to sit in the backseat. Many backseats have seat belts that are smaller than those found in the front.

1. Be able to enjoy sex with my husband without getting tired and worn out before things get really good! :)

2. Be able to paint my toenails without my stoamch getting in the way

8. BREAST REDUCTION!!!!!

Hi all!! I've been a member here since June 2010, but I have struggled with losing the pre-op weight needed in order to get banded. I'm giving it another shot now. I need to lose get down to 290 before I can get it done and I'm currently 315. I have been big my whole life and I have always thought about the things I would do once the weight came off. I'm so excited to think they may finally happen. Here is my list:

1. Put on my shoes and socks without having to sit on a couch with my leg rested up on a cushion. (I can't prop my foot up on my knee anymore).

2. Buy cute shorts and skirts and not worry about my fat thighs.

3. Buy cute knee boots to wear with skirts (I can't wear boots because my calves are too big)

4. Not have to constantly stretch my shirts before putting them on in order to hide the rolls

5. To be more comfortable when being intimate with my husband.

6. Be able to get on the floor and play with my son

7. Be able to get in and out of our boat with out assistance.

8. Wear my seatbelt in any car without worrying about by belly pushing the shoulder belt into my neck

9. Be able to buy clotes in any store I go to

10. BE ABLE TO WEAR CUTE MATERNITY CLOTHES WITH MY NEXT PREGNANCY (This is a biggy for me because I always looked forward to wearing those cute maternity shirts with the sayings on them, but with my son, I couldn't find any that would fit me. Even maternity clothes were too tight on me :(

11. Be able to wear and look good in a bikini

12. Go to a doctors office and not dread getting weighed and getting the lecture from the doc about my weight.

13. Go on future cruises and vacations and not worry about looking like a whale.

I probably could go on, but I will stop there.

1. Shop in a regular clothes store again, any store, any time.

2. Go on one of those zip lines, or many

3. Go on the superman roller coaster at Darien Lake park, NY

4. Go horseback riding.
