I want to go skiing with my family and I'm participating in a medical mission in rural Guatemala next December and need to be in better shape than I am now.

I want to take my kids to disneyland and not hide from getting pics with them. I want to take them to a splash park and be the mom in the cute tank and shorts or sundress, not the mom in hot baggy jeans and loose tee.

I want to be able to run for miles (accomplished - I can run 3 miles most days without breaking too much of a sweat)

I want to buy and wear a 2 piece bathing suit (instead of the mu mus I used to wear)

I want to pose and send a Christmas card family picture (usually only the skinny minni's would send these out)

I want my kids to be proud of me (accomplished)

I want to horseback ride without being ashamed of how hard it was for me to climb up

I want to get up easily and jump on the trampoline in my backyard without embarassment

I know there are others. I'll keep thinking.

I used to wait in line with my husband and sister for roller coasters, climb in and then back out the other side (1st cuz of my size and 2nd cuz of fear). After losing 100 lbs, I went on my first coaster! Scary stuff but I've been on many since then and I go just BECAUSE I can fit - not really for the thrill!!!

Shop at VIctorias Secret!!! :)

I know what Victorias Secret really is: They don't carry anything over a size 4. After losing 100 lbs, in a size 8 I walk into VS with confidence. I then looked around and realized I was still obese by their standards and I couldn't fit into anything there. U can buy a 40D (yes, I'm a 40D on top and a 7/8 on bottom) online but not in the actual store.

Rreally embarrassing....

Ditto on the airplane seat and add to it not worrying about fitting into a booth at a restaurant.

I made and succeeded in several faintness goals last time I lost a bunch of weight, marathons and 1/2 ironman. My former training partners want me to get back to training for big events. Right now I feel like "been there done that, got a bunch of tee shirts". Now I am more excited about fashionable clothes and hoping people don't see me as a fat guy first and everything else secondary. On that note I can't wait for my weight to not always be on my mind.

I would love to let my friends set me up on a date (they have been asking, I'm mortified), and play basketball again. Full court, team basketball. I have a long list of things I'd love to do, grows daily!! Sad to think of all we miss out on, but that is changing!

Living in Texas, I want to be able to wear shorts and sundresses in the summer, go to the beach and hang out at the lake without feeling embarrassed. Also...roller coasters, plane rides, Water parks, vacation cruises, nights out dancing with my husband, family photos...the list goes on and on and on.

Removing fear from my life. Fear of breaking patio furniture, Fear of not fitting into airline seats, theatre seats, amusement ride seats. Fear of chairs with arms. Fear of whispers that you can always hear. Fear of always being the biggest person in the room.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
