    I want to see Paris. I want to wear tall boots in winter and shorts in summer. I want to stop avoiding having my picture taken with my beautiful children because I feel too fat.

Some of my goals were/are.

-Weigh under 250 lbs- done!

-Move from exxtremely obese to obese- done!

-Wear my wedding dress again

-Wear a size 18 pants- done!

-Not have to shop in plus size

-Run/walk a 5K

-Weigh under 200 lbs

-Have a 'normal' BMI

Sky Diving is big on the list! Feeling HOT again. Going for a ride on my bf's motorcycle - without being embarrassed. Breaking out of Moo Moo jail and wearing leggings because I want to, not because I have to. Wearing heels that aren't wedges. I could go on but I will just wait patiently and let it all happen. Only 2 weeks post op but I can already see changes :)

I'm only a week post-op but my goal is simple. Get healthy enough to become pregnant and carry a child to term (after a year, of course). Remain healthy to raise my family and all the little things that come with living.

my goal is to be slim and healthy and be able to walk better and be ready for knee transplant next year.

I want…

  • To be off my diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol medications.
  • To never have to worry about seats sizes again (go to concerts, movies, fly coach)
  • To wear jeans
  • To wear long boots
  • To buy a pair of Grundens for fishing trips
  • To go for long walks with my dog
  • To have more energy and strength
  • To do a headstand
  • To ride a bike
  • To do a mini triathalon

I had quite a few NSV I couldn't wait for, they were getting my wedding rings to fit, cross my legs when sitting, not have to shop in plus sizes anymore, weigh less than 200lbs, feel confident taking pictures I have accomplished all of these in 3 months! I still want to get off my blood pressure meds and have a normal bmi, I'm working on it!

I can't believe how much I missed crossing my legs! And not being to big to walk between chairs and clothes racks!
