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 want to go parasailing on my trip to Maui planned for next summer. I also want to be able to go hiking to a waterfall. And, I want to be able to do some of the advanced moves in pilates.

I am going to Italy next summer, so I am going to find an Italian studmuffin and......

Hi Luv2Teech7

you are correct 30km is about 18miles.

I started taking a running class a few weeks ago. Earlier today I ran 4k so I have long way to go.

It seems so cool that I have a completely different life. That I could even consider being ready for such a challenge! I love my band !!

Michee,

Oh, my!! I can't believe that you ran even 4K! I'm working on walking farther and farther every day, but I don't know that I'd even drive 30K in a day! That's impressive! When you were banded, did you ever think it possible?!

I want to do a tandem skydive, hopefully in Nov. Maybe I'll be light enough by then.

I'm like you Carrie. I to would like to change in front of my husband or even shower w/o feeling embarrassed. Being able to buy clothes in any shop. I also hope to find the courage to tastefully tell a few people what I think of them since though the years as have sat like a shy mouse and let them walk over me.

Yes, I know what you mean. I am tired of being a doormat, too.

I want to be free of the hip and knee pain, fit in an airline seat without a seatbelt extender, ride amusement park rides,shop in regular size stores, stop "feeling invisible" and stop fearing food.

I know I already posted o nthis thread, but I just thought of something. I had a dream the other night that I was jogging. I want to be able to jog!!! It was awesome in my dream, I didn't have any knee pain(which I hope will go away with WS).

Yes, I hope my knee pain goes away too and I don't have to take arthritis meds anymore.

Oh, I have so many.

* I want to change in front of my husband and not be embarrased.

* I want to go to Hawaii or somewhere tropical and renew my wedding vows on the beach

* I want to get a tatoo on my lower back

* I wanna ride dh's motorcycle with him without feeling out of place and feeling like I'm gonna make him wreck cause I'm so big

* I wanna be able to sqaut on my husband (during sex LOL) and not get exhausted after 5 seconds

* I wanna go out with my husband to dance (gotta learn how to dance first LOL)

* I wanna go to a new base and meet people in dh's new unit and not feel embarrased for him

* I wanna be able to run and swim and play with dd for more than 5 minutes

* I wanna be a good example for my daughter

* I wanna go to disney with my daughter and husband and have a great time, not be miserable because of my weight

* I wanna get on an airplane and not have to worry about weather or not the seatbelt will fit

* I wanna wear a bikini top (doubt I'll ever feel comfy wearing a bikini bottom)

* I wanna have another baby!!!!!!!!!!!

`here is another one. it is a biggie for me...

go on a job interview and not feel like teh interviewer is thinking OMG. you have got to be kidding me. I already have age against me, and I have actually been told I am to fat. it didn't matter I had experience and could do the job.

I have to get another job soon and I dread going out. I know the looks. I know I will probably go 15/20 interviews before I get hired. Not unless I go back to what I know, and have been offered by other companies a position. but I don't want to do what i have done most of my life. I left my last job because they knew I had my LB date comming up, and they would'nt get me the help I needed. I was NOT going to cancel my surgury for them. The type of job in the feild I was in is a low paying thankless job. a lot of times 24hrs 7 days a week. in case your wondering a manager for a quick stop. I have done that about 1/2 my life the other 1/2 is cook. I wan't something different. sorry off the subject. and long

I have a lot too but here are a few of mine...

*Of course I want to wear a bikini and look good in it!

*Go shopping and not have to sit down

*Shop for real clothes not sweats

*Change infront of my SO and not be ashamed

*Believe that my SO loves me just the way I am

*Feel good about myself

*Play with my son for hours not minutes

*Feel comfortable eating out

Those are a few, my biggest goal is to get into a bikini!! (As long as my strech marks fade a little!)

I'm going to buy a pair of knee-high boots for the first time in my life.

I'm going to go on another long bike trip with my husband, only this time we're taking the singles, not the tandem, and I'll be able to keep up (well, maybe ).

I'm going to start bike commuting again.

I'm going to take buy fun, cute clothes again.

I'm going to wear shirts that have to be tucked into pants and not worry about looking like I have no waist!

Ahh, this is good for the soul. :biggrin2:
