Once those pounds drop off and the muscle go on, a whole bunch of activities are going to open up to us. So how are you going to put your weightloss to use?

I'm going to learn to scuba dive. Always wanted to, and now I'm going to make that happen.

I have some friends who go hunting every year, deep into the northwest wood. I've never hunted before but I'm going to join then next winter. (Imagine how long the venison will last me now that I'm sleeved).

Better sex. Give it my all like I did 20 years ago, when I didn't have limitations.

What are you planning for?

Wearing shorts again proudly! And tank tops!

Still to hairy for tank tops... Lol

I just had my surgery two weeks ago today, so I have a lot of work still ahead of me to get to my goal. But I am looking forward to many different activities: hiking in the hills, riding a bike, and taking long walks with my wife are just a few.

First and foremost I look forward to climbing a flight of stairs and not spending the next five minutes trying to catch my breath. I would also love to ride a bike again. And learn to swim. I haven't been in a pool in many years because I was too ashamed to be seen in a bathing suit.

Not being referred to as "Morbidly Obese" to start....

So I just realized I posted in the guys group- I'm sorry! It came up as a recent topic the other day and I didn't see this was for the men only. Apologies dudes!

Oh crap, I didn't realize this was the men's room. Sorry guys!

Yeah, I figured it out when they started talking about the Speedo zone....

I never liked being refered to as " hey big guy".

I hated being called "big guy" too, but now I'm called Slim by some of the same people, not sure how I feel about that, either. Why can't I just be called "Dave"?

Some of the things have already happened, like being able to fit in regular clothes instead of plus size, cross my legs, not worrying about over eating etc.

Being satisfied with rate I am losing weight, I am currently looking forward to being able to drink liberally and not have to sip sip sip. I have started real cardio still for fear of getting dehydrated. I am peeing less than I use to before surgery.

I am looking forward to learning how to Scuba dive and to learning how to fly. Not only do I want to fit in the seat, but I want to fit into the cockpit. Most important though is to be able to do any activity with my 2 year old daughter that she wants to do.

OOPS! Another apology for posting in the men's room

Sex is always on the list for anything. bigger, smaller, taller, shorter, lighter, darker. so besides the obvious!

outdoors activities (which I have always done) but without being exhausted. camping, hiking, fishing, hunting.

started running. I think I am making great progress in that regard.

sitting down in a chair without worrying if it will break or not!

zipline, rock wall, fun/mud run, live life to the fullest.

not having to read the weight restrictions on everything because you know you are light enough. (i.e. ladder)
