I checked something off my list this past weekend. I have lost enough weight that I could physically handle going to the fair in my home town and walking. Still haven't lost enough to ride rides but that is my goal for next year. I want to loose enough to get on rides with my kids!

There are soo many that I have..First of all would be shopping in the regular dept of stores no more plus size, being able to buy a shirt and it not have an X in the size, being comfortable in my own skin again, not feel bad when my hubby see's me naked. I just look forward to feeling like a 27 year old and not a 50 year old! good luck everyone!

Running in a Spartan Race with my sister, fitting into a sexy black dress for a night on the town with my man, throwing away my Spanx!! Wearing boots that fit my legs the right way, not having to shop in the Plus Size section at any store!! Enjoying the rest of my 20's healthy and fit!

Next summer, going to the amusement park and actually going on the rides

Not worrying about the seatbelt on an airplane

Ladypart thing, like you mentioned - lol

Shopping in the misses dept

Not opting for slip on shoes so I don't have to struggle tieing them

Hopefully, not taking BP meds anymore

Hopefully, ridding myself of sleep apnea

Not feeling so self conscious

Having more energy

Being able to wear knee high boots (these damned calves)

Being able to sit in a meeting at work and not look down just to see my belly all bunched up

Going out w/ friends at lunch and not having to take the front passenger seat as it is the most "spacious"

Not worrying about going to a concert and spilling over on the person next to me or worrying about going through the turnstyle getting into the show

Having more clothing options - that can include wearing horizontal stripes ( :rolleyes: )

Having more hairstyle options rather than just the ones that don't accentuate my round face

LOL - those are a "few" of the things I am looking forward to.

I like all of yours, and will add:

Being able to paint my own toenails

Cross my legs at the knee

Feel sexy again, for my husband

Sit on the floor and play with grand kids

Go horse back riding

Feel comfortable dancing at a party

Not being the fattest person in the room

Yes, how did I forget some of those! I haven't crossed my legs in yrs or painted my own toe nails. Well I tried but it didn't come out very well, LOL

The horseback riding is a good one too!

I went w/ my fiance and all our kids to the Smoky Mountains. We did a horseback outting too. I called ahead to see what the weight restriction was as I was afraid I would have to sit out as to not injure some poor horse. Much to my surprise, I was within the weight restriction. However, there was a caveat to it.... I had to ride "diablo" - YES, that was the horse's name. I swear it was a friggin Clydesdale. I had to get on a platform and then a chair so I could get on/off this horse. They gave me the biggest horse. I was so scared on the ride too going up and down hills on this giant! I guess, that is a good thing I would love to try again on a "normal" sized horse. :)

Just to name a few things...I'm looking forward to no longer shopping in the plus size stores/section, riding rides at amusement parks, crossing my legs, walking more than half a mile without my back hurting, and dancing through a whole song!

Not having to ask for a seat belt extention when I fly.

I have a lot of them ha ha. I'm 75 pounds down and have accomplished a few though. I took my 9 year old brother to Worlds of Fun and I could ride all the rides I wanted to expect the Patriot (probably another 30-40 pounds for that one!) I'm in college and I can fit in a desk without my stomach touching the desk part (I almost cried in class when I went this semester and could do that for the first time!).

I haven't flown since surgery so it will be interesting to see if I still need an extension. I'm going to Germany in May of next year so I'm sure I won't need it then! I'm in size 24 pants so I'm excited to get out of the 20's! I would love to wear belts!

Those are just a few! Good luck to everybody!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
