So I am curious to see what goal/s everyone else has. I know for me I have been carrying around a box of clothes for the past few years and kept telling myself ...."keep these you will get back into them I promise" as well as the goal to become healthy and fit and lose all this extra weight so my joints don't pop lock and grind. I already have one outfit in my sights right now....nothing special just some old Walmart blue jeans and a free T-shirt from some activity I did where they gifted me a shirt that I never got the chance to wear because it was too small. Size wise I am in a stretch...by that I mean I had given up on jeans about a month ago when I couldn't fit any of them. I'm probably a 22-24 woman's and my first goal pants are my size 20s but the ones that prance thru my dreams are a size 17 juniors plus or some nonsense like that. Really they are nothing special they are holey, the belt loops are torn from my repeated jerking to keep them up, but to me....they symbolize progress. Each day the joy of working hard to get into those jeans brings me into this weird happiness. I know that with the band and I working as partners, he/she/it can help me get there. (I'm contemplating

giving it a name for general conversation where I don't want people to know I had wls) please feel free to spill your guts to me and tell me your hopes dreams and wishes.

My in laws have a lake house and a beach house. I love the Water. I love the sand, I love tanning, but I hate wearing a bathing suit. My scale goal is 160 but my non scale goal is to chase after my child on the beach in a modest but stylish bathing suit and not worry about who is watching. I want to get up and down from my beach chair without almost toppling over. I want to walk down the beach with out a skirt or bathing suit cover up on. Good luck on your journey. You can do it.

I will definitely check out your blog. I have my own as well but its a 23 year old girls blog so its all over the place at times. Wshfullyshrnking at tumblr. Also like you I hope to have confidence in my swimsuits. I am a fish by nature but you rarely see me at a public pool or lake for that reason....I'm so excited to see our results!

I FEEL THE SAME WAY!! I accept that I will probably never way less than my love (he weighs 125) jerk lol but even if I could slip into his oversized shirts that would be a score for me. And the clothes....ugh I can't find anything ever in my small town. I have found one pair of jeans in 3 years. I have to travel to find any sorta cute stuff and then shirts that looked cute go on my body in a weird manner and look nothing like they would on a fit and toned body. Again you will be there soon enough.....we just gotta keep working. *clinks imaginary Water glass with you...."to wearing and finding cute clothes in our near future"

One of my goals is to weigh what my license says I weigh!! LOL! It says I weigh 190 and I am sure I will make that goal, but I just thought of that the other day - One day I will weigh what my license says! And then hopefully less than what it says and when i get a new one I will be able to move that number down
