Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Can you name 1, or 2 things you would love to do once you reach your goal?



Recommended Posts

I would love to maintain my weight without having to obsess over the scale each morning.

I would love to have PS so that I can feel attractive in a sexy way, and then find a man that will want me to do some mattress dancing with him with my fine, flat tummy!

On the less self-centered side, I have a sister with Multiple Sclerosis whose only Daughter has severe Cerebral Palsy. I'm hoping to be strong enough to help them both if my sister is unable to lift her Daughter anymore.

Hard work, lots of $$$ for plastic surgery, strength training, and some self esteem and maybe all my goals will be achieved.:tongue_smilie:

Best wishes to everyone to achieve their own goals.

Sue

1. I want to be able to run. Not in a race, just run.

2. Be able to walk through a mall, or around town, or around the block, without needing a break every 5 minutes.

3. Walk into a store, find something in my size, and buy it without trying it on because I know it fits.

i use to be the biggest daredevil there was - the moment i got fluffy i got scared. scared of a lot of things, but probably scared that part of me was gone ... and for a good part that did define who i was (fearless daredevil).

i love sky diving, the weight limit is 185 and my last jump i had to "fudge" my weight....i realized i LOVED flying in the air too much not to give this up.

so my bday is in june, and i plan on taking the plunge again....this time w/out harness bruising due to weight.

This is my first post, and what a great thread to reply to!!

I am just starting out and doing my research. This forum has been amazing.

Goals:

-Shop with my younger sister IN THE SAME STORE!

-Have my true spirit and personality shine thru. Everyone calls me shy and quiet, but its because I'm too embarrased to have the spotlight on me.

-Provide my daughter the best possible life I can. Not one filled with "maybe later" or "not now" bc I get winded easily.

-Hit on the hottest guy in the room!!

You know.. I just couldn't keep it at a few... OMG... everyone here is amazing... and one thing I do know is if I truly believe in something and you want it bad enough it will soon be. I want to take a photo shoot in black & white and color.. mini skirts, jeans w/out the top...swim wear..professional clothing.. and of course me with the See-thru-stripper heels on....lol.. I would love for the photographer to be my son's father ha ha ha because he is a cinamatophogher and can take really great pictures... would luv to let him see what he could have still had ahhhh but now... he can't.... ha ha ha ....sorry buddy....

1. Have a multitude of stores I can shop in for clothes instead of just the one or two stores that carry plus sizes here

2. Go to Hawaii and walk on the beach in a sexy swimsuit instead of my "cover up as much as possible - hate to be seen in" swimsuit I have now

3. Not be ashamed for my husband to know how much I weigh because I'll actually weigh less than him for once in our lives

4. Go sky diving - maybe :biggrin2:

This is my first post . . . but I would like to:

- cut my Lane Bryant card to PIECES.

- enjoy more time with my family doing fun, physical activities (like playing basketball and riding bikes), rather than just eating.

- Wear a bikini.

- Go to my high school reunion confidently and in a REALLY expensive designer cocktail dress . . . I'm thinking Dolce & Gabbana. :scared2:

- Be comfortable on an airplane.

- Have soft feet and not cracked heels because my skin is not happy with my weight.

- Be more confident and sexy in the bedroom.

- Have awesome pictures taken in my wedding gown (I'm friends with some of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world now, and I'd love to have them photograph me).

- Have my boudoir pictures taken for an album for DH.

- Not worry that someday my kids are going to be embarassed to be seen by their mom.

- Wear a tank top and shorts in public confidently.

Only One or two things? Can't narrow it down...

Ride my horses

Buy clothes in any store, off the rack

Never, ever, have to catalog shop "women's extended sizes" again

Ride a bike

Garden, and be able to bend over to pick weeds without falling over or nearly having a stroke!

Wear real blue jeans with zippers and pockets instead of stretch waistbands!

Sit on any chair anywhere without fear of it breaking.

Fly, drive, or take a train and fit into ANY seatbelt!

Run, just run

Tuck in a shirt.

Sit in a booth at a restaurant, or a student desk in a school.

Try on my current pants, and fit my whole body into one leg

Not be the elephant that sticks out in the family picture - for my next son's wedding...

Go swimming

I could go on all day...

Won't it be fun!!??

First of all, I haven't been a size 14 since High School which was over 20 years ago. I am going to get a tattoo on my lower back very soon. I am close enough to goal to enjoy. My PS is scheduled for 4/21. Julie

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
