I am looking forward to wanting to be in a picture with my kids!

No more excuses for not doing certian activities with my 8 and 11 yr old when I am really too fat or out of shape but won't say it.

to be able to buy cute in style clothing and a dress that I can feel confident to wear... so I won't advoid dress up situations.

to wear a pair of Levis with cowboy boots! and take a line dancing class!

Gosh I could go on and on!

Shopping at Hot Topic instead of Torrid

....Or Any other store where a size 2 cost so much cheaper then a size 20.

Being able to wear a regular size necklace or braclet and not feeling like its gonna choke me or cut off my circulation.

the ability to feel sexy, and wear thongs again.

Being able to go get a bikini wax and fit on those tiny table/beds.

To be able to buy clothes in a regular size not 16 or above!

Being able to walk up a flight of stairs and not be out of breath.

To sit in the same room as hubbys 3 sisters and not feel like a FAT cow!!! They are all skiny size 4-6.

Same with me I could go on and on!

Not shying away from pics because I'm too embarrassed.

Being able to wear shorts.

Wearing cute clothes.

Being more active and doing more activites.

Not being a fat auntie to my nephew.

Having guys look my direction and what the heck how about a bf!

Wearing a swimsuit and going to the beach.

Not feeling like I'm the fattest person that just walked into the room.

I want to go rafting without sinking the raft!

These are all GREAT and I agree completely with all of them!

Here are a few of mine:

~NOT lift up my belly in the shower to clean it and not worry about having to put powder there before I get dressed so I don't get a rash... same goes with under the boobs, back fat and any other "roll" areas! SICK of that!!!

~NOT constantly having to adjust my bra because I have "overflow" somewhere.. either the back above or below or hanging out the front making those awful bumps, etc....

~NOT wearing some old lady bathing suit "dress" in the pool

~NOT having my children come up to me and "jiggle" certain areas of my body and giggle. (they are little and don't realize it's not really appropriate to do)

~having my husband LOOK at me in "that way" again...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
