I am putting together a list for myself. It includes everything I CAN'T WAIT to do once I lose weight!! My favorite is to be able to cross my legs. But I also have things like not shopping in the plus size stores, not struggling to put my shoes on, etc. My hope is that I can look at this list when things get tough and be able to re-motivate myself.

So what's on your list? I want to make my list as long as possible so I feel fantastic when I am able to cross something off!

Awesome topic!

My goals are: to never shop plus size again

To be thin, sexy enough to take boudoir pics for hubby

Run Disney half Marathon next year

Play with kids without being out of breath

Be able to try on clothes with my 15 year old daughter when we go shopping

My first was to be able to buy non plus size clothes - check that one- I wear a regular 16 or a plus size 14.

Big goal get into a regular size 10!!

Get to my goal and get a boob job- the girls have been down way to long.

To be able to wear shorts and short sleeves with out feeling self consious. Hopefuly this summer!!

For my BMI to no longer be in the obese range!

Sitting in a chair without thinking is it big enough or strong enough

Crossing my legs

Being able to fin on ALL the rides at the amusement park

Fitting in a old pair of jeans I kept from 20 years ago

shopping in a regular size clothing store and not the +size

Buying a regular bra (I wear the sports bra type because my bra size does not exist in stores (42-44A))

wearing a tank top

being able to go to the beach without being embarrassed

Start the sport I use to practice and love (biking, hiking,cross-country skiing) without having the impression of having a heart attack

and Not always be hot/sweatty when other aren't

My list includes:

Comfortably crossing my legs

No longer needing an extender on the airplane (met this goal)

Wear shorts

Wear knee high boots

Be on top during sex (this is getting easier and easier) :-)

Tying and buckling my own shoes (met this goal)

Buy regular size clothes

I know there are so many others but this is off the top of my head.

I wanted to no longer fit into plus size store...check

Wrap a towel around me without having to hold it...check

Be able to run a 5k

Finish the insanity workout program

Wear knee high boots with skinny jeans or tights

Feel sexy in a bathing suit possibly a bikini (depending on extra skin lol)

Fit into Victorias Secret bras (and panties...check)

I'm sure there are more I can't think of right now.

LAP BAND GOALS

1. Be able to go clothes shopping at NY & Co.

2. Wear my wedding band and/or engagement ring. (Haven't been able to wear for 10 years)

3. Have a Facebook profile picture. I always use a landscape or my kids as a profile pic because I am ashamed and would be mortified for those I went to high school with to see what I look like now. (My weight DOUBLED since graduation)

4. I have a son with special needs and I need to stick around for a long time because he probably won't be be able to live on his own.

5. Good health, both mentally and physically.
