I am sure everyone has some simple things that they are looking forward to after reaching their weight loss goals. I personally can't wait to not have to request a seat belt extension when flying. Anybody else that had that goal or anything similar? How great did it feel?

I did! Goal accomplished! I flew last weekend and no extension. Another goal is to fit comfortably in an airplane seat. Is that really possible for anyone? Lol

I havent flown in a long time because of that reason. So looking forward to not having to worry about that

Haha...I don't imagine it is! I am 6'5" so even after I get my belly in check, I still have to figure out where to put my knees!

No extension will definitely be a MAJOR NSV for me. I used to love flying, but in the past few years I've become so uncomfortable about the whole experience that I get very anxious about it. I am looking forward to people not looking at me with fear and dread, hoping I am not assigned to the seat next to them! LOL

I've only needed the extension twice, but I always DREAD boarding the plane and praying for an empty seat next to me... then I have to go through a LOT of contorting and breath-holding in order to get the belt fastened and then sit miserably with my arms folded in front of me so as not to encroach on my neighbor's space.

I look forward to the time when I don't have to worry about who is sitting next to me or booking only red-eye flights, or looking up seat dimensions to make sure that seats over 18 inches across.

For the first time after surgery, I flew to my hometown last thursday (Jan 17). Not only did I not need an extension, I had quite a bit of cord to spare after securing the belt at my waist!!! I was beaming so wide, I'm sure the air hostess thought I was a bit crazy LOL!

I thought it was impossible - those things look too tiny to be comfortable for any one but a toddler!! But yup! Very much possible! Feels awesome!

Def one of my goals!!

My goal is for the towels to fit around me without a huge gap lol

it's funny how things like not having to ask for a seat belt extender can be so satisfying it's rare when I currently don't have to ask for one at 275 lbs....more than the seat belt thing, what I look forward to is being able to comfortably sit in a booth at a restaurant...most of the time i have to cram myself in, and sometimes I can't even fit in the smaller booths on the rare occasions when I go to a theme park like Disney World, it will also be nice not to have to worry about fitting on any rides

I flew to Vegas at the end if December and found that I didn't need it but out of habit I still asked and used it lol.

This is one of mine too. I usually have to use beach towels to make sure it wraps and covers me completely!

Amen! The simple things in life.

I have long used 'bath sheets', and even as I slim I will still use them at home, they are super huge and comfy...but to be able to go to a hotel and not have to worry about 1/2 of you sticking out and not getting covered will definately be nice!!

I can't wait for my calves to be thin enough to wear knee high boots!!

Ah this too! I can't wait to buy a super nice expensive pair of boots next fall and not have them be wide width calves or made cheaply
