If I were thinner I'd.....

Fill in the blank guys. Are there things you have always wanted to do but let the weight hold you back? Let us know what you're going to do when you lose the weight or now that you have already lost it.

For me it's dancing. I love to dance but haven't been able to do it. Got tired too fast and felt like I looked like a fool. Can't wait to start doing it again. I want to sign hubby and me up for some latin ballroom stuff when I lose another 50 or 100 pounds.

Take Tae Kwon Do w/my daughter. We did the one month trial a few years ago, and in the adult class, one of the exercises was to stand back to back with another person and hook elbows. The other person was to lean forward and the other person lay on the back, then switch.

Well, I got paired up w/the big guy (who was smaller than me) and I said no, I didn't want to do that, and he said, "I don't want you to do that either." His girlfriend was watching and she was just laughing hysterically. I left and never went back...but I loved doing the actually movements of TKD.

I would also bunjee jump/sky dive given the money situation. Unfortunately, weight isn't my only hold-back.

Wear a bikini and just work it!

Wear sleeveless shirts without worrying about the size of my arms!

...be naked! My clothes would fall off if I were suddenly thin! And I don't think that would go over well in the office.:crying:

Seriously, if I were to my target weight, I don't know what other thing I would do. I would (I hope) just enjoy them more - dancing, cycling, travelling, etc. Oh, I just thought of something. I would go in-person to a clothing store and try on outrageous outfits just for the fun of it! Imagine slinky little gold lame dresses, or red-carpet worthy gowns...but not in black! Vibrant alive 'look at me' colours!

I think I'd take up ballroom dancing. Dancing with the Stars has really attracted my attention. But right now a 300+ lb guy in hat & tails just doesn't fit with any image I ever had of myself. Maybe next summer when Egorsgirl and I are both smaller. :rolleyes2:

I want to climb a mountain! Longs Peak to be exact. And I'd like to wear a T-shirt and underwear around the house and not be self conscious (I haven't done that for years!)!!!!

oh, and lots of SEX!

Mark me down for a bikini too. Don't think it will ever happen but it doesn't hurt to dream. Even when I was thin I didn't have a "bikini body"lol.

Go play at a beach, Dance (in front of people), and get involved with theatre. I missed it since I got too fat to face an audience.

Oh and run. I used to looove to run.

I'd love to do a pin-up photo shoot - 1940's/1950's style

My mother would die of shock - but I'd like a tattoo. On my lower ab region (once it no longer resembled a deflated tire)

To wear a bikini or sexy bathing suit and know I look damn good in it!

Go rock climbing again

Learn to Water ski - that would be awesome!

My dream is to plant all of my flower beds without having to take a rest every 10 minutes. To walk into Macys or Nordstroms and buy a size 8 top and six 6 bottom like I did 12 years ago.

....jump on the trampoline with my son without the fear that my boobs would knock me out or that I'd collapse the dang thing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
