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



Recommended Posts

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 :)

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!

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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
