I'm going to go to the water park in Vegas in a cute bathing suit! I can't wait to be able to walk around in a suit in public and not feel the way I do now! A shopping spree is also in the plans. New clothes that I'd never wear today!

Sounds good. I understand im afraid a tattoo would get all warped when we lost weight.

I want tinker bell . The image of her seeing her reflection for the first time.

That sounds so very cool.

I am getting a tattoo at each 50 pound mark-already have an appointment with my tattoo gal. Getting them in areas that should not be affected by any type of skin reduction surgery. Other than that, I am signing up with hubby for either ballroom and/or line dance classes. He agreed as a gift to me (he has 2 very large left feet)

I will get a tattoo but it needs to be relevant. Possibly a stick figure

Goal? It seems such a long way away that I haven't even thought about it

I have thought about my first 40 kg's. I'm buying myself a special piece of jewellery that I have needed an excuse to buy for a long time!

Guess I should think about my goal weight too!

Mini goals are great!

Brg that is awesome I may have to get that too to mark the journey!! I love it. I am scared to think of the end right now I am concentrating on the 28 I have to lose for preop. Then my next hurdle will be 50. And then by 20's after that.

I want to do all the things I CAN'T do right now because of my weight - like roller coasters, parasail, zip line, etc., when I'm on vacation. It's not that I really WANT to do those things. I just HATE that I cannot do them now, and figure I'm missing out on some real fun.

And clothes shopping, in ANY store, although I love you IGIGI and Lane Bryant.

I'm going to take my cute big girl dresses to my local seamstress and have them altered to fit the new me.

I hear ya. The simplest things that cause our bodies to ache because of the extra weight we carry will be awesome to be able to do when it doesn't hurt to do it anymore.

Get boots that aren't wide and not be worried about going on a plane
