What's one thing you hope to enjoy after you've lost the weight?

Live not far from some beautiful state parks and the Appalachian Trail. So I hope to do some longer hikes and I'd love to try kayaking.

That's a great goal :-) I want to buy clothes from regular stores , and I am so looking fwd to going places and not being the biggest person there :)

Not being the biggest person in the room! Also cross my legs.

I've gotten below my goal weight. The one thing I always wanted was to NOT be the fattest person at work. The other goal I haven't had a chance to try out is flying - I've never flown and been able to put the tray table all the way down. Looking forward to that. :rolleyes:

Besides buying clothes in a store of my choice I have always wanted to try running. Have set my sight on running a 5 k next year. Here's to making it happen!

I want to take alter ego photo shoot..good girl vs bad girl..

Fit in an airplane seat. I love to travel and being 5'9" I know I'll never be truly comfortable in coach but actually fitting between the armrests would be awesome.

I've still got a long way to go but have already knocked a few things off my list. Kayaking is awesome! So much fun!

I want to be able to go kayaking! Also, I want to be in pictures with my family - I have avoided being in pictures for years because of my weight.

I'm looking forward to sewing for myself again. And since my husband is losing weight, I'll sew for him, too!

These are all great answers/ideas. Another thing I look forward to is no longer being the fattest member of my family. ( my adult kids live with us.)

That probably sounded terrible . I should add that I'm 5'1" and my grown sons are built like fullbacks, but I've weighed more than them for years.

I'm looking forward to wearing a sleeveless shirt in public and riding a roller coaster without having a mini panic attack while waiting in line while contemplating if I'll fit into the seat or not.

I'm think I'm going to start getting in more pictures. Right now, I always volunteer to take them (so I won't have to look at myself in one).

And I can't wait for the day that I can be at a pool, or beach and not be so self conscious. What a great feeling that must be!

Buying a NICE bike and going on long rides with my husband!

We rented bikes a couple of years ago and started on a 26 mile (round trip) trail...we made it 6,5 miles and turned around because I couldn't keep going. I don't want to hold my husband back anymore!

I also want to get a really nice Trek bike. They are custom made & you are weighed/measured for them....I'd be too embarrassed now to try and have that done!

I am also interested in trying zip lining!
