    Great list! I did a mud run on Saturday and was actually able to haul my fat ass up and over all the obstacles without getting winded! SO MUCH FUN.

Some of mine are:

- Horseback Riding: I used to do this, want to get back to it as an adult.

- kayaking: I've been too afraid I wouldn't fit in the hole.

- learn to dance (swing, polka, two step, whatever)

- wear boots that come up to my knee! I plan to buy a few pairs when I get to non-wide calf size

- run a 5K

- learn the silks (like P!nk does)

- learn to hoop dance

- go caving/ spelunking

- wear strapless dresses

- shop for pants in regular size stores

- share clothes with my sisters

- have a baby

  1. Wear shorts and tank tops

My bucket list is more emotional than a 'to do' list.

  • I want to buy obscenely expensive clothing.
  • I want to be thinner than my sister for the first time in my life. (and revel in the shock on her face when she finally sees me)
  • I want to bump into my ex fiance and his midget, size minus 4 wife and feel ab-so-lute-ly bloody fabulous!
  • I would like, for once, for someone not to say 'you're a big girl'.
  • I would love to try on a wedding dress and feel like the most beautiful girl in the world - not a frump who fights back tears, feeling like a failure.
  • I would like to feel positive about my forthcoming nuptials and being in front of people and their cameras.
  • I want to be physically 'normal' and happy.

That is all....

I want to...(in no particular order)

Walk into a room and not worry or think about if I'm the fattest one there.

Feel attractive.

Have the energy to be a mom that can do active things with her son - maybe embarrass him by breaking out into a river dance in front of his friends..

Take the 3 mile uphill hike up to the lake.

Run. Run with wild abandonment.

Have my picture taken - there has to be some documented proof that I existed.

Smile. A lot. I have a lot of time to make up for.

Shop for clothes in the Misses section, not in the plus department that has the worse selection and prints that look like they belong on a 1970's vintage couch or window covering. (Sore spot, obviously)

Sit in a chair and not worry that the creek I'm hearing is the chair asking for help or a warning it's going to break.

Sit in a booth...comfortably.

Have my wedding rings fit comfortably and not look like they are forced on a Breakfast sausage.

Take a walk without fearing some smart ass kid isn't going to yell something out the window of his car at me like "Speed up!" "It's going to take more than a walk!"

Not fear seeing old friends.

Be proud of myself.

OK - that's enough for now.

Gear to see this thread. A couple of things that have been on my bucket list:

Lose a. Minimum of 100 lbs. and keep it off.

Go to a spa and not worry about the masseuse measuring my fat.

Wear an expensive pair of heels (aka "****" shoes)

Wear a knit dress and not worry about lumps and bumps.

Maybe meet Prince Charming and have a marvelous love affair.

And, most of all, live out the rest of my life healthy and without pills.

Sorry, great to see the thread.

I love reading everybody's lists. Here are a few of my bucket list items:

1. Walk without pain & be able to keep up with my friends when we're out.

2. Sit with my legs crossed

3. Be able to wear high heels again

4. Be able to travel to a new city & walk around exploring

5. Take salsa lessons

6. Wear a sexy red dress when the hubs takes me out to show off the newly-acquired salsa dancing skills

7. Be able to say 'Yes' to activities & invitations more frequently than I say 'No'

No sitting with legs crossed for me. While I DO want to be able to, even thin I won't. Vascular damage in leg says no-no. Oh well...I can live with that! LOL

I want to go for a run without feeling like a sweaty dying mess.

I want to walk into a room and not be the biggest one there.

I want to go out to dinner and eat as little as my thin friends.

I want to ride my bike around Lake Washington multiple times a week like I used to.

I want knee high boots.

I want to be strong and confident.

I want to enjoy hiking uphill (that's all we have in Washington State!).

I want to not feel like my husband should be ashamed of his fat and dumpy wife.

I want to have sexy times anywhere in the house.

I want to not feel ashamed about the way I look.

I want to not judge myself as a bad person because I'm fat.

I want to be happy at whatever weight I end up, whether I stop right now or continue losing all the way to my goal.
