I am only at the beginning and have a lone way to go but I wonder what you are looking forward to most

My list is

To shop in a normal store (not to have to go in the back behind the ties or the “specialty” store- yuck)

To cross my legs comfortably

To sit in the middle seat on the subway without getting the horrified look from the others

Awesome thread!

I had a lot of similar goals and have reached most of them through the summer. Best ones so far:

Having tons more energy to play with my kids - I've been to fairs and waterparks and actually played with the kids on all the rides, slides etc.

Having lots of room in an airplane seat - flew in July when I hit my hundred pound mark and it was MARVELOUS!

Shopping in regular stores - goodbye plus size stores forever!

While it's still a wee bit uncomfortable to cross my legs in a straightback chair, I cross my legs all the time on sofas and other types of seating.

This thread is fabulous. It made me appreciate the nsv's I have achieved and look forward to more. Good luck to all of you who are at the beginning of the journey, you have great goals!

adding to what most people have said about being able to shop in regular stores, cross legs, ride roller coasters, etc...I booked a cruise for my 10 year wedding anniversay when i hit the 25 pounds lost mark, figuring that if i could do 25, i could possibly do more. The cruise is still just under a year away, but when it gets here, I would like to fit in the weight requirements to be able to zip line, parasail, hike, kayak and do all kinds of other excursions that i haven't been able to do on other cruise vacations because i was too fat.

Nu2 good job. Keep up your good work.

Dibs that sounds like major fun. You are going to rock a bikini, yes?

I want to have beautiful, uninhibited, freaky sex with my boyfriend

*blushing*

Shopping in the misses department

Hopefully lose a few bra sizes

Get rid of my chubby hands and feet

Run around on a beach with my kids and not look like a beached whale!

Be confident

Run an entire road race

Enjoy the sight of a mirror

Shop with friends - in the same store!

I'd like to smile......and feel that happiness inside as well

Mostly - I'd like to be proud of myself!

I want to wear jersey. I miss jersey.

I want to put on a very sexy 'jersey' outfit go out with the guy who dumped me today and make him suffer.

I didn't tell him I had the surgery. Oh he will suffer.

I want to flirt with him all night and allow him to think he's going to get some and after dinner....

Be like DEUCES.

that's too funny you go girl make him feel it

simply put: Im going to the Bahamas

To throw away my blood pressure pills!!!!!!

I don't want to put a dampener on things but just be aware this may not happen.There are lots of causes of high BP not only being overweight. Quite often high BP is unexplained. I have been at normal BMI for more than 2 years now and I still have to take mine. At one point I stopped taking them as my BP dropped too low and I ended up in hospital but it didn't take long for it to start creeping back up again.

well, a girl can hope!!!!

Too true...my mother weighs about 90 lb and takes bp medication. But losing weight can hopefully reduce someone's dosage!
