1. Go and buy a new suit for every day of the week and represent my business the way i would really like to represent it.

2. Not be worried about how big the person going to sit next to me on the plane is. The worse feeling in the world is having a lil skinny person who doesnt know you whisper to an attendant and the attendant looks around to try to find someone who "DOESNT MIND" sitting next to you.

1. Not have to worry about flying on a plane. Last time was probably over 10 years ago, and I was probably 300lb at that time and it was uncfortable then, I can't imagine now. I need(want) to go visit my Brother and his family in Hawaii.

2. Go to an amusement park and ride every frickin ride there. Last time I did this was never. Went on class trip to a park in high school, and I rode 1 ride, and it was so uncomfortable, that I have avoided them since.

3. Not have to worry about clothes, chairs, fitting in vehicles, etc.

Many things will be on my list but for starters

fitting in chairs that have arms......not pulling it up when I stand

beiing comfortable in a car with the seatbelt on, or when I am with my family in the back of the van being able to buckle the seat belt!!

enjoying a movie at the show sitting in the chair

going to a play and not feeling like a sausage as I hold my arms in to give whoever room

In other words fitting into life!!!!!!!!!

Whitewater kayaking in cool board shorts!!!

1. Feeling comfortable in my own skin.
2. Living, instead of avoiding, life.
3. Wearing a beautiful, sexy dress to the next wedding instead of some tentish mumu I found in a catalog.

SO many more...

2007,

Thanks so much for this post. You are very inspiring to me! We definitely should be living NOW! Each day is a new goal really! Wonderful!

I want to wear 'normal' size clothes again. I spent my high school and college days wearing a size 12. I want to shop in regular sized stores again and wear that size 12 once more.

I think the normal sized clothes thing is my biggest motivator right now. I'm graduating from nursing school next week and do not want to attend my pinning ceremony because I'm so big. I just had to order a dress off the internet that will arrive and hopefully fit. At least it's not a mumu. I'm sitting here watching the Biggest Loser finale thinking about how awesome it will feel to wear dresses like those girls are wearing. Sigh.

It's been so long, I can't even remember what it feels like to shop in the normal sized clothing section. And things have gotten so bad for me that lately I've even been having trouble finding stuff in the plus sized section of regular department stores. I'd give just about everything I've got to be a size 12 or 14...to wear L or even XL tops. Seriously can't even remember a time that I could. College, maybe. Double sigh.

This is a fantastic thread.

Let's see...

1. Wear a backless shirt and show off all my tattoos.
2. Win the $700 first prize in my platoon weight loss challenge. (as of week #1 - I'm in first place.)
3. Surfing. In Barbados. Board shorts and a bikini top.
4. Have my fabulously muscular legs back.
5. Wear my size XL Under Armor shorts to the gym. (see #4)
6. Do one mother freaking pull up.
7. Pass a police physical agility test.
8. Take up some kind of MMA.
9. Feel like a bad ass again.
10. Be the girl in the best shape of everyone in the room. (Because I know I can do it.)
11. See my lovely cheekbones.

Inspiring my daughter.
Never again saying to myself "when I lose weight I'll..................."
Becoming the person my husband sees, loves, and believes in
Learning my value and that it is not based on a number on a scale or the size of my jeans
Realizing I'm WORTH it, I DESERVE it, and owning it.

I agree I want to wear regular sized clothes not the large size! It is hard when weight loss is so hard....2 weeks ago I went up 4 and last week went down 2.6 I hope tomorrow shows a weight loss!

This thread is awesome.

This is a great motivational thread.

1. Finally being able to score cheap deals from the sale/clearance rack (Lol, what can I say, I'm a shopaholic)

2. Being able to fit into my old "fat" clothes of size 12/13.

3. The loss of shame and insecurity. That is what I look forward to most. When I can look in the mirror and be happy with my reflection.

4. Allowing myself to be photographed, and actually looking and enjoying pictures of me.
