Yeah I'm a size 10 but when I was thinner I was a size 8 and am hoping they keep getting smaller so I don't have any difficulty finding my size.

My knee problems prevent me from being on top for more than 5 mins.:/

Being able to wipe/clean my butt!!! Lol :0)

Actually being the weight listed on my drivers license!

I wont miss sweating so bad that i get rashes in betweem rolls.

Omg I so hate that I just wear pants now lol have for years so that would be nice

I hear ya there therez so much i cant wait to be able to do

Being able to run after my daughter and keep up to her and not have to hear the kids in her class make fun of her because she had a fat mom

I absolutely LOVE everyone's answers.

Mine would be:

•I live in NYC and commute by train, it would be nice to be able to fit in a single seat rather than 1 1/2 or 2 seats.

• Being able to tie my shoelaces without feeling like I'm about to pass out.

•Being able to dance without feeling like everyone is going "Hey look at that fatty dancing over there."

• Being able to put on pantyhose with it tearing from my thighs being so huge.

• Being able to shop with my mom, friends, etc without having to stop at the "plus" side (usually hidden in a dark corner) because nothing fits in the "normal" side.

• Being able to meet up with old HS & elementary school friends without them thinking "Damn, she put on some weight"

• Not feeling like the one person everyone points at descreetly while in social situations

I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY!

Actually being the weight listed on my drivers license!

Haha I have to laugh because I just had to get mine reprinted and was annoyed cause they would not do a new License and now I weigh 25 or more pounds less than my license (which was at least 10 pounds less than my actual weight). What an awesome feeling and way more to lose, and next year when it is expires it will be a whole lot less of me to have a picture of and I can be honest about my weight! wooohoo.

These are all so great. Ive laughed so hard.

I will be glad when I can get up without my knees popping. Raid my mom's clothes who RNY 9 years ago this month. Not having people say you have such a pretty face. Dating. Not have people ask you can you eat all that.
