What are you most looking forward to?
I know there have been posts like this before, but I find it really helpful to stay motivated by thinking of what I'm looking forward to/expecting once I hit goal. I thought it would be fun to do this publicly, since I know you all have thought of some I can add to my list! Here's a list of mine to get us started!! I know they'll differ some since I have more weight to lose than a lot of people on this board!
- The ever-popular "crossing my legs at the knee!"
- Seeing a "1" in front of my weight - I will cry like a baby.
- Rollerskating - being able to crossover while turning the corner without my thighs getting in the way and having to just shuffle to turn. :/
- Having somebody buy me a drink at a bar. I've heard of it happening - I've even SEEN it happen. Someday, it will happen to me. (I'm married, but it would be flattery
) - Going into ANY store and buying clothes off the rack. OMG. And vintage clothes! ooh!
- Being able to run
- Swimming (relatively) unself-consciously
- Yoga poses won't cause my chesties to crush my trachea
- Cute lingerie from Victoria's Secret
What are yours?
Banging tons of hot chicks.
lmao. Is that really ALL? I mean, don't get me wrong - it's a laudable goal...
ha ha. I also want to able to tuck in my Polo shirts without having my gut hang over. I want to be able to stand up straight without a gut sticking out; and finally I want to bang tons of hot chicks.
ahhh vintage clothes- that would be AWESOME! Actually, anything not from Lane Bryant would be great. They're great any all, but i really want to be able to buy things that are cute (and cheaper!!!) in other places.
Scuba diving! I suppose I could do that now, but I would feel like a neoprene sausage and I would need an ungodly number of weights to weigh me down in the water! I was certified as a teenager and I'd love to do it again.
Unselfconciously get involved in sports like sea kyacking (sp?) and hiking.
Going out for a sexy, fun night on the town. I second Indi's idea for cute lingerie :) Though I would prob. cut to the chase and hit up Fredrick's (since I am near Hollywood and all!)
I am Sooooooooooo looking forward to a "1", can you say P-A-R-T-Y? woot!
Mortalmonkey- AHAHAHAHAHA :) touché.
LMAO at Mortalmonkey
- being able to run
- being able to wear just about anything
- heck, having a wardrobe
- fitting into regular shoes instead of W or WW
- getting my picture taken without freaking out
- pretty underwear and bras
I want to wear a bikini, I never have.
I want to be able to go on a crowded bus, and sit down, and not feel self-conscious
I want to be able to buy clothes from stores like Bluenotes, AE, Jacob Connexion
Ooh, those are all good.
I agree to everyone who said "bikini" heck yeah.
I wanted to add "Sitting in plane seats without being offered an extender, or just being uncomfortable... not seeing people walk down the aisle checking their tickets with a worried look that they MIGHT have to *gasp* sit next to you. Cuz you're huge." That would be nice too.
well if mortalmonkey gets to bang hot chicks, then I definitey hope I get to bang hot guys without feeling like they're out of my league.
not sucking "it" in everytime I walk from the pool to my lounge chair.
wearing anything clingy in a flattering way.
Lovin' all the "i'm going to go out and nail the hottest people I see!" posts...AHAHAHAHA Hear that :)
I am going to enjoy my 30s and do all the stuff i didn't get to do in my 20s- club, dance, flirt my butt off- wear a bikini?!? Maybe! Who knows!!
I can't wait to love my body again.

I want you first!
This has already happened...hopefully it will happen more too!
Seeing people I haven't seen in a few months and watching them do a double take when they realize it IS me! I don't even care if they don't say anything but the "double take" alone is priceless.
Waiting for my husband to come home from Iraq only to realize that the wife he thought was beautiful and sexy before was only more so now that she lost 35+lbs. (The goal is to be below 200 when he comes back; I've already lost 10 before joining this site) And the jumping I will receive once he realizes this. =D
The double-take when I go home to visit family will also be very nice, lol.
I ditto the "bikini" posts.
Having my husband do a "double take". :] He doesn't mind my weight now, but I know when I feel more comfortable in my skin, my inhibitions are out the window!! hehehehe!!
Being able to go get some Boudoir (sp?) pics done for my hubby...or just for myself even!! I did that once when I was about 130-ish a few years ago and it was so much fun!
Always looking hot in photos and snapshots. :]
Not being the "heavy" friend.
Oh, oh oh...and my all time favorite!!.......drum roll please..........-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
.-.-.-..-.-.-.-..-seeing "light" between my thighs when I stand with my feet together. :] Oh the glory in that!!!!!
I don't know about bikinis, but not being embarressed in a bathing suit would be nice.
Not having to buy XL stuff (Who came up with that designation anyway?)
No matter how much I lose, nothing at Victoria's Secret or Fredricks will fit my boobs so I can forget that one.
Not hanging over your seat on an airplane would be soo nice though.
Having the energy to walk as far as I want without feet and back giving out
Not having to take medication for cholesterol and not having to worry about diabetes.
Ohhh! And a waist! I want a waist so I can wear belts again.
I completely agree with all the "bikini" posts, lol.
-Having the inner thighs of my pants intact (and not completely worn down, lol)
-Not being embarrassed when sitting on the subway because I'm "overflowing" on the seats next to me
-Not being the "fat" friend
-Being able to play tennis
-Looking at pictures of myself without feeling disgusted
Well, you asked...
I'm getting a tummy tuck and a boob job. I'm 36 and I've had 4 c sections, and tiny little breasts forever. I figure a year to lose weight, a year to keep it off and then I'm partying my A$$ off. BEFORE 40. You only live once
i think all my answers are pretty much the same as everyone else's
1. looking sexy and feeling confident in a bikini
2.not having the flaT TIRE hand out the jeans!
armandleg - that's going to be an awesome surprise for your hubby, I think that's fantastic.
tracy - yeah - light between thighs?? Dare I dream?!
clharr - I hate the X rating. The highest I got was XXL, but I always wondered about the weird crossover with XXXL - is that supersexy hardcore clothes? I think not, even with a triple X rating.
fringe - man, I would if I could. :) As for the partying - I'm so there.
