Whats On Your Bucket List?



Recommended Posts

Just want to know what's on your bucket list when you get to goal? Or are you like me and have a reward/co-goal with each milestone? Here are mine:

1. To get my nose pierced again

2. To get a tattoo when I get to goal - currently don't have any and I don't know what I would get!

3. To go to Mexico - another thing I have never done! Wouldn't feel comfortable in a swim suit at the moment

4. To go to Disneyland - never been, wouldn't fit on the rides at this size, but wanna go in January

5. Buy a romper - for those who don't know what that is, google it! Rompers are so cute, espeiclally the ones with shorts. Can't wai to flaunt it in one

6. Zip lining

Your turn!

Great question! Things like this keep me motivated!

1) Do the Color Run

2) Do the Tough Mudder

3) Wear Shorts -- I have NEVER EVER worn shorts. EVER - not even as a kid. My mum didn't like that my thighs touched at the top!

4) Be able to endure the physical strain of volunteering in El Salvador this Summer!

5) Disappear for week into the woods of NorCal and not die from exhaustion of lugging my self around!

I have tons more, I just can't seem to think of them!

wow, everybody has some really great things they want to accomplish! this is an amazing thread! :D

there's so much i want to do!!! when i lose my weight, i want to....

head to japan, to a host club, so i can get doted on hand and foot and pampered by a myriad of (what i consider to be) attractive young men. i've never really had a chance to date much or experience what it feels like to have guys like me, so i want to experience that even if i have to pay for it. lol :) not sex or anything like that, just the experience of having guys vie for my attention. :) sorta make up for all the years of having nothing going on..

i also want to visit some onsens in japan (japanese hot springs).. and i'm with Cookeeeeez.. hiking up to the top of mt fuji sounds like an awesome idea, too!

i want to go back to korea & visit my friends there.

i want to be able to go kayaking with killer whales, swim with sharks and hitch a ride on a dolphin. :)

learn how to dance (ballroom/latin/etc)..

return to school & become a doctor, like i've always wanted to do, but been too ashamed because of my weight to accomplish.

go sky diving, like my dad used to (he's an 82nd airborne paratrooper).. maybe even go sky diving WITH my dad! :D whee!

get back into horseback riding.. i was DARN good at it. my instructor said i was one of the best she'd ever seen... and i lost it, because i became a horse, instead of riding one... so... i wanna get back into it desperately!

get back into bodybuilding. maybe not competitively, like i originally trained for.. but women with muscles are awesome & i want mine back. i feel so weak & disgusting. :/

get back into MMA & other martial arts..

take up Parkour (freestyle running) and gymnastics.

see the world with my best friend

be able to go to europe & fit IN, not stick out like a sore thumb, because i'm the size of a car. :/

be able to actually buy clothes in japan and korea when i visit... korea has some of the most well made bras i've ever seen.. i want korean underwear for myself! i know it sounds silly, but it'd mean a lot to me! :) also, japan has a waist line limit, so being able to fit into japanese clothes... AWESOME!!!! total self esteem booster! lol

to be able to wear a seatbelt in the smaller planes WITHOUT an extension... heck, i probably need an extension for the big ones as huge as i am right now... so yeah.. to be able to fly, without worry of needing an extension on a plane...

to be able to walk around like a normal human being, without feeling like i'm gonna die because of the pain and because it wears me out & i can't breathe. :/

to actually be able to get involved in my community & volunteer to do things.. like habitat for humanity or walking for breast cancer or protesting animal abuse or WHATEVER... i wanna make a difference & DO something, instead of having to sit on my fat behind & watch life pass me by while i post things on facebook!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
