-horseback riding
-being able to run without fee lining like I'm dying
-start learning karate (or ssimalar) again
-feeling healthy

Feel free to buddy me!

    Snap my fingers and a bunch of hot chicks suddenly appear, haha!

    Seriously though, I haven't really thought about it. I've just been really looking forward to feeling better and having more energy. You gave me something to think about. Thanks!

    I have about 9 pounds to go. I feel so much lighter on my feet at my goal weight. I look forward to being able to jump around without the extra heft. I look forward to running without as much difficulty. Every pound makes a big difference with running.

    Looking forward to:

    Wearing a bikini!
    Biking further/faster
    Running confidently and without near death experiences
    Shopping for cute clothes, not just functional clothes


    I won't miss:

    Being tired all the time
    Tugging at my clothes all the time

    Rollercoasters!!! I'm always afraid I won't fit so I never do them now. I also want some knee high boots that don't have to be specially made!

    Excited to buy my first pair of knee high boots and being able to run a lot faster. Also being able to fit into a pair of topshop skinny jeans! I've literally wanted to do this since I was about 16 years old (I'm now 27) but have never dared to go into the shop to try them on as I've always thought that I would be too big. Now I want to wait until I'm a comfortable UK size 10 before I buy them.

    Buying clothes that I want because they are cute and not because they are the only ones that fit.

    being able to buy clothes in the normal section of the store. To be able to run a marathon. To hike the Appalachian Trail. To be able to eat in moderation and not feel like a pig...

    Honestly? Truly? The thing that I have always wanted to do if I could lose enough weight?

    Hug my knees.

    I know it sounds weird. But I have ALWAYS wanted to.

    I want to feel comfortable and confident in shorts this summer. I have wanted that forever now and finally...this year it's gonna happen, so excited!

    • Being able to shop anywhere I want
    • Knowing my husband and son are proud of how I look when they are with me
    • Feeling comfortable in a bathing suit
    • Attaining the long list of goals I have in the gym (Ok, so goal weight isn't necessary for this one, but it would make some things, like doing an honest to goodness pull-up, easier if I didn't have so much of me to move.)
    • The satisfaction of knowing I finally did it

    Ok so weirdly enough I want to learn ballet. I think that has been one of my goals from the start. Oh and buy nice clothes from ASOS.
  • Be able to "throw something on" and look amazing!
    Sit at the movie theaters without the arms digging into my sides
    Not have to wear spandex under clothing ... Ever... Again..!!!
  • I just want to be able to find things in my size when I go shopping and not worry if a shirt is fitted against my belly. My weight gain has been recent...well the past 2 years. I also want to feel comfortable in a bikini again. Going to the beach is my favorite!

    I'm looking forward to not deleting every photo with me in it.

    Wearing clothes I have been saving for two years in my closet from the last time I worked to lose weight, some still have the tags because I never did get down past a size 10.

    Feeling confident in my appearance- I always feel like I have the look of someone who just gave up and I guess I did but I don't want that. I'm an older mother and when I see all the young pretty mothers I know I can't compete with that. But what I can do is try to be my healthiest, both for me and my husband and kids.

    I'm looking forward to setting new goals for myself instead of always self-sabotaging and making my life about my weight and looks. I'm more than that! and I'm tired of being stuck, I want to move forward.

    That's it for now, I could go on : )
