What do you look forward to the most?

So when you get to that goal weight, whether it's going to take you two years, or six months, what is the one thing that you're looking forward to doing? Is there that one thing that you have always dreamed of doing but your weight has been holding you back? Have you always wanted to be able to run a four minute mile? I just thought I'd put this out there for everyone. We all are doing this for different reasons, but what's the end result and hopes that you have once you get there?

My biggest reason is that I want to feel beatiful instead of only having people tell me I am and not believe it. I want to look in the mirror and know I'm healthy and beautiful!

I also want to get whistled at at least once... ;-)

I want to be checked out at the lake wearing a bikini cuz I look hot in it!

I've got a few.

I want to run a marathon.

I want to be able to go swimming and be comfortable.

And finally, I want to be able to look in the mirror and be happy.

Wearing a bikini in public :)

What do I want?  I guess to have a girl actually ask ME out, but I doubt that'll happen!  Aside from the benefits of having girls oggle over me...I just want to be happy with how I look and be more active.

Also, when I reach my goal, I can up my calories and enjoy more liberties, like beer, fried foods, and other junky stuff that is essential to any 24 year olds diet :-P

I think I'm going to tack finewine's goals on to the end of my list, they seem like pretty good goals to have. =)

i'm looking forward to being able to bend over and touch my toes without holding my breath!  hehe..

i am also looking forward to (and i know this is a weird/gross one) being able to see parts of my body that i haven't been able to see in years!  (think naughty bits)  *blush*

some things i was looking forward to that i have gotten so far are:  being able to walk around a park without being winded.. being able to climb a flight of stairs without having to sit down to take a break (i can now do 2 flights without being out of breath!)..  being able to look in the mirror and say that while i'm not where i want to be, i'm looking so much better than i have in a very long time.  :)

My number one goal is to compete in a fitness/figure competition.

I also want to run a marathon!

I'm looking forward to total sexual freedom with my hubby. Some how this weight just changes things a bit. Not that its not good, but flexability does wonders.  D'Oh!

Running around outside topless! I want to go to a waterpark and not feel uncomfortable without a shirt!

ohh.. bill! me too!  i wanna run around topless!!  J/K!!!  :) 

Hey finewine, what's your sign *squinty, sexy eyes at you* want to go get some HOT coffee?? *purses lips, wink, wink* (there now you can cross that one off your list :-) )

As for me I just want to feel strong again and to feel good about my body for once in my life and not be so critical of myself (though that's more of a psychological thing than a weight one)

Damnit, Ob, you're just joking??  Here I was gonna ask for pictures ;)

and I'm with bill too...I wanna run and jump and not jiggle.  And not have manboobs.

Ob, let's do it! When several of us hit our goals, lets all go running around topless! ;0)

bill (would get the better deal out of that!)

I'd like to take up rock climbing.

I'd like to get winked at by a strange, uncreepy guy.

I'd like to run at least a half-marathon.

I'd like to have the opportunity to make out with a guy in a hot tub and elevator.

:)

nope nope nope.. i think my hubby would have a HUGE problem with that one!  :)   but you go for it!  :) 

Haha Lily, fake internet flirts don't count :-P I want the real deal!!

I would totally love it if someone hit on me, irl. It would make my day. :)

It'd be cool to see more muscles, all over, than fat as well...

There's lots of things I want to do, but I plan to do some of them before I get to goal weight. Run a marathon? I can be fit enough to run a 5K by November, I KNOW I can do that.

hmm.. it would be cool (even though i'm married) to be hit on IRL.. but that's never happened my whole life.. so the chances are slim.. heh

Ob, yeah, I think my wife would have a problem with that too! 0_0

I hear ya finewine! I unlike the ladies want to loose my boobs with the weight! I am looking forward to saying good bye to the man jugs, the only jugs I want at 170 is my water jugs!

bill (hopefully will be running around topless next summer at the waterpark!)

I'd like to wear "little" clothing (not topless, mind you, but tank tops and short skirts, etc.) without worrying I'm "too fat" or have too many rolls or jiggles.

I'd love to be able to run and hike and do outdoorsy things without getting winded and overly hot in like 10 minutes. 

I'd like to be able to go up the 5 flights of stairs to my office without thinking, "ugh, how many of these suckers do I have left??"

I'd like to walk into any clothing store I'd like and be able to wear a size 8 or so, but no worries if I have to get a 10 or 6 because the cute clothes all come in those sizes too!  ;)

I'd like to take a hip-hop dance class. 

I'd like to turn heads because I'm "attractive" not "fat".

I'd like to actually see those muscles I'm supposedly building now!  :D

I'd like to have the most beautiful cholesterol levels my doctor has ever seen--ever!  LOL.

I think that's it. . . .
