Ok ladies…I have thought about this so many times, so just thought I’d share with you below the things I would like to do once I have gotten to my goal weight.

• Be able to shop in ANY shop I want and not have to make sure they go to plus sizes.
  
• Eat out at restaurants and not have people give me the look thinking “she doesn’t need any more food to eat”
  
• Not to have to look out for and make sure the chair I want to sit it doesn’t have arms
  
• Not need a extension belt on an a plane and to fit comfortably in the seat
  
• Get into a bikini and not have to settle for a swimming costume to hide my lumps and bumps
  
• To be able to cross my legs!!!
  
• Not be the biggest person when going out with friends or family.
  
• Run around after my nephews and not get tired or be in pain after 30 seconds
  
• Fit into rides at a theme park
  
• Go horse riding (and not be told im to heavy for the horse)
  
• Lastly stick two fingers up to anyone that doubted me or told me I couldn’t do it! Lol
  

How about you ladies…….?

I LIKE THAT!! LOL LOL

what goes around, comes around and bites ya right in da ass!! LOL

May I just add....after getting the number of a hot guy, having your friends envy what you've just done, DON'T CALL HIM? That's right...give him the taste of his own medicine, so that when you run into him again in a few weeks (oh, and another 10 pounds down...) he'll ask what ever happened?! Once again, get his number without ANY intentions of calling. Call that big teddy bear guy who always treated you with respect instead---the one who never cared about your size. :biggrin:

2) Not stress out about hurrying into a theme park attraction seat to make sure I can get my seat belt clipped so people aren't watching me fumble with it

I remember when I was 18 and went to a theme park for a choir competition. I remember really wanting to go on some of the rollercoasters. So I got in line with some friends, waited for 30 minutes...only to get up there and not even fit in the seat and running down the stairs crying so embarrassed and never wanting to be seen again. The only ride I was able to ride was the stupid ferris wheel and I felt like a total failure right then and there. I am almost 23 now and even bigger now than I was before. A goal for me is to definetly be able to fit in the seats of rollercoasters and not have to walk off crying because I am so huge I can't do that. It was mortifying and ruined the whole trip. I was so depressed.:biggrin:

6) Wear a sundress on a hot day (which I don't do now because of all the sweaty chaffing nastiness).

Cate, you might consider throwing on a pair if bike shorts beneath dresses and skirts. I've been doing it since 1990--long before those Spanx came out. I already owned the shorts for the gym so it didn't cost anything extra. It really helps to avoid chafing. You might also consider using Gold Bond powder before leaving the house. My classroom used to get far beyond 90 degrees and I'd run into the restroom at lunch time to re-apply. No more chafing for me, regardless of the size of my thighs. :biggrin:

My TO DO list once at goal:

1. Respond to a hostess/host, "A booth will be fine, thank you."

2. Not be the biggest person in the room.

3. Regular sizes have so many options. I just want to wander the Misses department at a store for a few hours.

4. Middle airplane seat? No problem. I'll sit there!

5. Wear regular jeans.

6. Banish elastic pants from my wardrobe forever.

7. No more double chin. Sigh.

8. Be okay with my picture being taken.

9. Not hide in the last row when pictures are being taken.

10. Not put my hand up in front of my face when pictures are being taken.

11. Tuck my blouse in.

12. Wear a belt.

13. Wear those pretty bra's, not the industrial strength ones. So ugly.

14. Ride amusement park rides and not hype out about the safetly bar fitting (you know that moment of - oh god, will it or won't it lock?!)

15. Wear a tank top on a hot summer day. I'm so tired of covering up.

16. Be my husband's hot wife.

There was a discussion thread like this one on the "Alli" website when that was the newest thing. Needless to say that drug was/is like every other weight loss lie. I posted something like this...

I want to turn heads when I walk into a room and have the men ask each other "WHO IS THAT?!" I want to wear a pair of jeans and a body hugging white T-shirt and feel HOT! I want to go rock climbing with my family. I want my boys to be proud of me. I want to share clothes with my 17-year-old daughter. I want to order my clothes from Victoria's Secret. That's all for now, more later

I want to be a sexy biotch

I want pretty much the same things you guys want... but two things stick out right now

First, when I was smaller (years and years ago), I was able to sit in an armed chair and put my purse in the chair beside me, that was cool.

Second, to finally be as beautiful as my husband thinks I am.

I want to lock myself in a room for the weekend with DH and have wild hot monkey sex. I want to try out ALL the positions in the Karma Sutra (Yes, I bought the illustrated edition - at books A Million - DH was SO Embarassed). I'm now in the "studying to prepare" mode.

I want to shop in the misses section and wear things that look good on me.

My mother would shoot me, but I want a tattoo right above my derrier.

I want to go on a cross country "Hot Rod" tour with DH in his car (He has a HotRod 1950 Ford) and not be hot and tired and miserable because I'm fat. I want to turn heads and look good in vintage clothes. Right now my left leg wouldn't fit into anything vintage.

I want to do a pin-up photo shoot and surprise DH for his birthday.

I want to learn how to scuba dive. That would be awesome!

I want my kids to not be embarassed to be seen with me. I want them to want to borrow my clothes in a few years when they are teenagers.

Please excuse me if this is a silly question...will someone please tell me what DH represents? I know is has to do with ones husband but what is the "D" for?

DH means dear, or darling Husband

D can also mean Darn:wink2:

Or you can insert any "D" word before "H" (husband). Depending on my mood D can stand for so many things.

Mine is a goal that every woman should have...

I plan on buying the most skimpiest, sluttiest bikini I can find. Go on a cruise with no children in sight. Dock on some romantic island with beautiful beaches and make love while the waves cover our bodies.

As you can see I've thought about this a lot. LOL

Thank you all very much for explaining. I guess if I ever had one, I'd have known. LOL

My minigoal right now is to get below 400 and to get to a size 26/28 I am 407 now I get weighed again June 19th which kinda sucks cause ive been slacking in the exercise lately, don't normally do that. And I am in 30/32 clothes
