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 :)

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.

I have a huge 'to do' list after I lose 100+ lbs. To name a few: Lauren, Marisa, Sarah, Angie, Katie. It is going to be a great fall!

I took a motorcycle safety class to learn to ride. I don't have a bike, but it was always something I wanted to do. Also, you might get an insurance discount for taking the class.

Good luck!

One thing on my skinny bucket list is doing a zipline course. Not sure where, but it really looks fun :)

Good luck!

Ditto, ditto, ditto.....and wear dresses and skirts without shorts or spanks underneath!!!! I would also love to RUN in a 5K instead of WALK which I have been doing for the past 8 years.

This is a great topic! It's so motivivational that I think I'm going to print mine out and put it in a few spots in the house, like the refrigerator and in the dining room. biggrin.png

I'm still in my 3 month pre-op nutrition phase and I've been thinking about one or two things I want to do, but once I sat down and started writing I couldn't stop. Once I have the surgery I'm sure I'll have more to add to this growing list. smile.png

My Skinny Bucket List

1. Have my husband finally be able to pick me up and hold me in his arms- he's a big strong guy, so the fact that he can't now, or ever before, makes me so sad. It will be a crying-because-I'm-happy day! wub.png

2. Play with my little boys and not have to say "Sorry guys, I have to stop - Mommy's out of breath and tired. I gotta take a rest."

3 . Cross my legs when I sit and feel sexy, not sit like a man

4. Go horseback riding and not feel like the horse is going to crumple under me.

5. Buy my first ever Little Black Dress

6. Wear high heels with the LBD and not feel ridiculous or look like I'm going to topple forward

7. Buy sexy lingerie and feel sexy in it.

8. Get my very first bikini wax and leg wax to go with the above-mentioned lingerie. Ouch - not looking forward to the pain, but definitely looking forward to the rewards. biggrin.png

9. Go to Hawaii and lay on the beach, not feeling embarrassed like the first 2 times. And wear a real swimsuit.

10. Ride a bike - something I haven't done as an adult yet.

11. Take a Zumba class and make it more than 5 minutes (if I'm LUCKY!) before I feel like I'm going to die! blink.png

12. Run, not just walk, run run run!

13. Yoga or Pilates and enjoy it and feel like I belong, not like the fat girl's trying something new.

14. I saw this on someone else's list and I totally am going to use it - it almost made me cry thinking of this feeling! I want to be able to eat a (small) ice cream cone while taking a walk and not feel like everyone's rolling their eyes at the big fat mamma feeding her face again.

15. Sit in a chair (especially folding chairs) and not have 1/2 my butt hanging off the edges and worry about who's behind me and what it looks like.

16. Be able to walk thru a restaurant or auditorium or someplace with lots of chairs and not have to stop and survey the room to determine the best (or only) path I can take to get where I am going. Or have to back track when following my husband or someone else after they've lead me down a path that I can't fit thru. Or say "excuse me" to every other person because I'm bumping them in the head with my butt, tummy, or hips. ohmy.png

17. Go dancing - Salsa, two-step, swing, etc.

18. Pick out clothes at the mall based on if I like them or not, not based on if they happen to carry it my size.

19. Play softball again.

Great Idea! I just love this post and I've gotten some super ideas' date=' 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[/quote']

Ahhhh the mounting block is my biggest friend, I'm short so I can't get on without one, but I used to be able to get on with just a leg up from a friend. That would be nice. I'd like to not feel bad for my horse! Although he doesn't complain!

I love this thread!!

1) hike the inca trail to machu picchu

2) zip line through the Amazon

3) climb the Duomo in florence, and other great bell towers throughout Europe

4) participate in a triathlon

5) buy some True Religion jeans :)

I'm sure I'll think of other things as I get closer to goal!!

1. wear a tucked in shirt without an obvious muffin top

2. not have to order the majority of my clothes online

3. go to pole dance class and be able to do advanced moves

4. wear a backless shirt or dress

5. not have my thighs rub loudly together when I walk

I Love this thread. I already have a Bucket List for the things I want to do in life, Never thought about a Skinny Bucket List :D

*Buy a badass pair of Cowgirl boots, Knee-High that wil go with a cute Blue jean skirt!

* Like so many have mentioned I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to run a marathon.

* Look Normal/Cute/Sexy in a bathing suit.

* Ride a Rollercoaster and not have to tell my friends I hate riding rides (when Really I am afraid I wont fit)

* Someone mentioned a Pin-Up Style Photoshoot...That would be AWESOME!!

* Sit comfortably through a movie an not feel like I am taking over my friends seat too!

* Join a Mixed Martial Arts Class.

* Get a sexy shoulder tattoo.

* Buy Cute Jeans/Shorts.

* Have Way, Way Less back pain!

* More full body Facebook Pics LOL

* Ride Horses Again.

* Do a damn Cart Wheel HAHA

* Buy a sexy Backless Shirt (Thanks Sunshyne for the Idea!)

* Be able to wear sisters clothes if I need to.

* Wear sexy heels.

* Get on tree stand during deer hunting season and not feel like a freaking whale on a stick! LOL

* Got to restaurant without worrying about if I'll fit in booth.

...and Last but certainly NOT least....Go to the police Academy!

I just took my two nights of sleep study test waiting to see when my surgery will be set!

Oh man... my list would be too long to imagine, but here are a few things (some of these are mentioned by others earlier in the thread, but what the hell...)

1. Bikini! I so want to wear a bikini... and look good in one. I technically COULD wear one now, but I would look like Jabba the Hut on vacation.

2. Short shorts. I am so envious of girls in the summer wearing flip flops and short shorts...

3. Knee high boots. I have thunder calves and no boots will fit me. And I LOVE boots.

4. I want to be IN the picture, not always trying to be the photographer... or if I must be in the picture, hiding in the back.

5. I want to stop demanding to see every picture right after it was taken, going EWW and forcing people to delete the picture. I even get irritated when people shorter than me try to take my picture, because I know that through sheer laws of physics... the picture will not be taken from the convenient fat girl angle (you know you know the one)

6. I want to be able to travel and feel comfortable and look good... and take vacation pictures that I am in. I would have a hard time proving I have been anywhere as it stands now, since I am never ever in any of the pictures.

7. Enjoy hiking... no huffing and puffing and profuse sweating and praying for death on the way...

8. Be able to shop anywhere and find clothes that fit. I hate being ousted to plus size sections of one or two stores in an entire mall...

9. Get attention! I hate feeling like I am invisible. I swear that it's not just men too, women are more attentive to thinner women as well (like in stores, etc)

10. Not feel irritated and angry whenever I try to dress up. Every party or special even starts off like that, with me mad at the world...

11. Not have to get up early the day after a big night out to nervously sit by Facebook to untag myself in all the pictures!

12. I want to wear something form fitting. No more empire waists, please!

13. I want to be able to run without more things jiggling than should be jiggling

14. I want to wear sky high hooker heels without having to have my feet amputated 30 minutes later

15. I want to feel less self conscious about myself...

16. I want to find jeans that fit me! If they fit my butt, I can't button them. If I can button them, I could fit an entire Bosnian family into the rest of them with me. Ugh. Stupid mafioso gut.

17. I want to feel sexy and attractive

18. I have never required a seatbelt extention but I am really self conscious about sitting on planes and busses because I take up so much space, I feel like I bleed into the seat next to me and I always feel bad for the stranger sitting there when I walk up to take the seat next to them.

19. I want to be able to paint my toenails without effort.

20. I want to not snore anymore! lol

Alright... enough for now...

I love this list! I have my top ten printed and on the fridge and inside my pantry.
