what are you looking forward to???

what are you all looking forward to,after you reach your goal weight??? well , i put in why! :) just check out my new pictures! love ya !

I would LOVE to fit back into my old clothes...I have such a huge amount, and they are so cute!  I am also looking forward to getting my first tattoo and having the body to show it off!!!

yes! me too i want to get a dragonfly tatoo,cause i love dragonflies,and i want to get one by my ankle and i want to wear a skirt for that,you know just want to show off my new hot sexy body after im done , im so exited!

well i have a massive closet full of clothes that don't fit so that's a big thing to look forward to.  the other thing is a bit more shallow, but I used to get TONS of attention from guys and well that kinda stopped as I continued to gain weight.  so i guess i miss that too.  it's just nice to know somebody else thinks you look good even if you have no interest in them.

^^^^^ same here, closet full of clothes that I really like and want to wear again!

I cannot wait to wear shorts this summer. First I have to buy some, because I seriously only own capris for summerwear. I have been so self-concious for the last 4 years that I have refused to wear them. But if I meet my goal, I am for sure going to have to pick a pair or two up. It'll be great.

I am also getting a tattoo. I haven't gotten one since right before I was married (over 2 years ago!) and I used to get one every year...pretty excited about that too.

like most of you i would love to fit back into all my clothes... I have seriously way toooooo much clothes and i can only wear the same thing over and over again cause its all that fits! I also want to be able to go swimming and not feel conscious about how i look in it...

So many things!

I only have a couple pairs of special jeans and one tank top I really miss.  I'm looking forward to going shopping with my sister who is very slim and being able to shop at the same stores.  I'm looking forawrd to uh, being closer to my fiancee.  I'm looking forward to riding the old wooden roller coasters with the narrow little seats!  To having this season's fashion look cute on me!  To feeling good and looking good in pictures!

I'm looking forward to taking my puppy on jogs without being self-conscious about my jiggles.  TO being able to hike again.  To having the energy to pick hobbies back up, drawing, sewing, cooking...

Most of all I'm looking forward to living longer.  My family has a heavy history of heart disease and stroke.

This is a loaded question!

I'm going to flex so hard that my shirt rips. =X

Definetly fitting into old clothes- I am trying not to buy new jeans because if I reach my goal I can just wear my old ones! 

Also being comfortable in a swimsuit!  I do a lot of wakeboarding / jet skiing in the summer and for once it will be nice to not worry about what I look like doing those things....

I want to live a healthier life and avoid heart disease, dieabitis (sp?), joint problems, heavy breathing going up 5 flights of stairs, ect, ect.

Now for the superfical side of me.

I want to be able to go outside during the summer and take my shirt off when working in the yard and not only feel comfortable doing it, but look good doing it. I want the girls to drool and stair at something that they can't have. I want them to say "I wish I could have what his wife has". I want to treat my body as a temple as god wants, and not treat is as a dumping ground for unhealthy habbits, I want to fit in clothes that I never could before, I want to be an insperation for my fellow chunky brotheren who have been overweight most of there lives like me, and see it CAN be done! I want to ge able to gain muscle and have it show since there will not be thick layers of fat hiding it, or even maybe have a six pack someday in my life!

Mark my words, I will make it! 

two words:

Size Nine

yeah!!! i am sure we can all do it ,i just want to go back to my body right before i had the baby,i want to feel good , and hey we all have a little vanity in us,so i want to turn heads agian,my husband's too,i want to show the people who has hurted me before , that i could be as good as them ,even better than them ,not that  really care what they think about me , i just want to kick some ass

this is a fun thread!

what i'm looking forward to, health-wise AND superficially:

* not having a dunlap ["my belly done lapped over my waistband!"]
    hence looking better in form-fitting shirts
* not wanting to slice myself open and perform DIY liposuction with    
    the vacuum every time i see myself naked
* improved cardiopulmonary health, decreased risk for other diseases
* not feeling so self-conscious around friends - a vast majority are  
    seemingly effortlessly thin thin thin!!!
* being able to go swimming and not wanting to wear an   
    old-fashioned swimsuit that covers everything! :P
* feeling more confident and attractive "in bed" haha

WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!  and we will!

oh!  I almost forgot......

shirts that show off my back (my whole back) and bathing suits. 

I won't have to worry about stuff hanging out all over the place, and thanks to accutane, I won't have any acne on my back either!  Watch out boys....... Jess is coming to hit on you! :P

I want to "close the bakery!!!"

aka: no more "muffin tops". . . those awful lumps of back fat that stick out of the top of your jeans.

I look forward to wearing a bikini.

I used to swim a lot but since it was training, I always wore one piece suits and some water proof ones.  I realized recently that I don't own a bikini and have never worn one.  Seems silly to be 24 years old and never even worn a bikini.  :)

And of course being able to wear something cute again.  I love textured/colored pantyhose and skirt combo.

yep, for sure want to wear my old clothes - and some new ones that i thought would fit!!

luckily i have a lot of support from friends and fam. my hubby is happy with the way i look, but i'm not, so lots of work to be done! here's my list of ten things to look forward to:

1. feeling lighter and less bulky
2. wearing jeans and a tank top without the "muffin-top" sides and with sleeker arms
3. wearing a swimsuit and not see the "wings" on my back (you know, the under the bra foldy bits??) and also to wear regular swimsuit bottoms without the board shorts
4. looking better in pictures
5. wearing t-shirts without cardigans or sweatshirts over top!
6. riding our motorcycle without being conscious of people seeing any "rolls"
7. having clothes fit properly at the shops
8. to be able to show the tattoos i have (thinking of a butterfly for reaching and maintaining my weight goal this summer)
9. wearing high heels more often (funny, but right now i feel like a pumpkin with legs when i do!) 
10. being described as fit!

totally doable!

hmm, now i'm trying to think of more things to look forward to. this is an awesome thread!

Ren :D

I'm looking forward to not being "the fat sister" - my sisters (who've NEVER given me any grief at all over my weight) are sizes 0, 2, and 6.  I'd just like to look more like their sister, not their mother.  If I can just get down from a 16 to a 10, I would be delighted.

My first thought was, I?m looking forward to my insurance premiums not going up. At my job, if we improve our weight, cholesterol or pre-diabetic conditions, our premiums won?t go up for the next year. That?s $520 savings. Then I started thinking, less junk food, fewer meals out, all of it would add up to a lot more cash. So now, instead of yummy Tex-Mex for lunch, I brown bag it and I?m putting the difference in my savings account. With the money I save, I want to take a two week trip to Italy. I figure by the time my goal weight rolls around, I should be there.

1. Not being called ma'm.
2. Being able to actually get the clothes i like
3. Not having to put a cushion or anything on my lap when i'm sitting down, to hide the rolls
4. My bellybutton looking surprised (O) instead of "smiling" (--)
5. Being able to see my feet when i'm standing (i miss them!)
6. Not having a terrible ache on my feet
7. i could go on for hours
