    When I transitioned into maintenance I bought my first ever two piece swimsuit as my reward for hitting my goal. Of course I was so self conscious that I ended up wearing a coverup the whole time :p

    It sounds dumb now that I've written it down, but there's a group trip that my husband's friends go on every year to the beach. We haven't been able to make it in the last 4 years but we finally get to make it this year.
    My husband's ex wife will be there.
    She really hurt my husband. They were together for 13 years and she constantly cheated on him but he forgave her every time until she finally left him for a guy she was banging.
    I can't wait to be in a bikini and show everyone in this group how much my husband has upgraded.

    That doesn't sound dumb at all! I love it!

    - zip-lining
    - actually being able to horseback ride when we go to the Bahamas in Sept this time
    - white water rafting
    - hiking to see waterfalls without feeling as if I am dying
    - feel comfortable in a swimsuit
    - go back to the water park
    - where sleeveless dresses without feeling self conscious
    - take decent pictures that I don't feel like a whale in

    Also, getting a breast reduction. I've always had big breasts regardless of my weight, but health insurance won't pay unless you're "normal weight".

    That is not necessarily true - insurance companies vary wildly on their criteria. Most companies automatically deny the first request to force you to do the work to appeal. If you think you would benefit, get a consultation with a surgeon.

    This is a fun thread, and I'm surprised I've never really thought about it before. But here goes 1) not being self-conscious about my jiggly butt when running 2) finishing the 5k and half marathons I signed up for in a reasonable time and 3) developing habits I can sustain.

    I like everyone's list. I would love to participate in Spartan and mud runner races. I am always to embarrassed to try!

    Looking in the mirror and recognizing the person I see. Catching my reflection as I walk past a window or mirror and not thinking, yuck but thinking "ohh lala". I'm looking forward to smashing my PR goals and having my girls look up to me as an example.

    Great question! I want to be healthy and comfortable in life, clothes, seats, at tables while eating out, etc. I need to travel for work and the seats are uncomfortable and I dread putting on the seatbelt and praying I'll be able to close it - that's a painful situation.

    I have great difficulty imagining myself at a healthy weight as I first put on weight as a teenager 33 years ago.

    I lost some weight a few years ago (I was still overweight but no longer obese) and enjoyed being able to share/wear friends' and sister's clothes. I also really liked being lighter on my feet - wearing heels no longer hurt and I was a lot more energetic.

    So more of that is what I hope for.

    Most of my fitness things are things I already am doing, since I've come quite far already.

    I'm looking forward to being done with weight loss so I can buy one size of clothing and having it fit, instead of the last year where I bought one pair of pants in each size from 48 to 36 as I've dropped weight, and rotated between the three sizes that fit best on any given week.

    Being able to relax my tummy and not look prego:/ I constantly have my tummy held in...I wouldn't be surprised if I have some nice muscles under the padding from years of tucking my tummy in;)
