    I fantasize that I'll buy nice clothes. I probably won't though. I'm sure by the time I get to 160 I'll fantasize about eating at maintenance.

    I plan on seeing the world again and doing things with my family and friends again. I also plan on dating again when I get all of the weight off. And I am going to have a well deserved trip to Disney World.

    Hmm...I don't have a goal weight. I just treat myself to things along the road toward my strength/body composition goals. I bought Versace perfume today. I have no idea how small I will be when I'm done cutting and the seasons are changing so I'm not buying clothes.

    I'm actually thinking I might want to take my goal weight another few pounds down, from 145 to maybe 141, based on a body fat percentage of around 21-22%. I'm 150 and around 26.9% now. And then just maintain and bask in the happiness and self-confidence that has come from my little journey. I might, miiiight, switch into recomp. I've been mulling that over as well. But it's much more of a maybe than the "few more pounds"

    I will probably break down and cry with the intensity I did the day I decided I had to lose weight. Because that's just how I respond to very stressful and successful situations alike.

    I'm going to hit my goal weight the week before I fly out from UK to Orlando and Disney (3 weeks) That will be a massive challenge starting maintenance on holiday but if I have to lose a few when I get back that's fine too! Planning on buying a new wardrobe out there which is keeping me very motivated to get these last 4lbs off

    Good question. I'm a pound or two away. I think I'll race bikes once I hit my goal weight. B)

    In fact, that starts next weekend for me. :)

    Like others have said, i will continue on the journey and start building muscle. I don't just want to be thin, i want to be toned. My goal weight is 120, i'm not exactly sure if that'll be my actual goal, i'll have to see what i like, maybe i will have to lose more weight? Who knows. But i think i'll up my calories more and start heading to the gym.

    But i will need to buy a whole new wardrobe. Absolutely nothing fits! From Bras and panties all the way to new shirts/shorts and jeans.. Even pj's fall off now! :p

    I already reward myself every 10 pounds, whether it is shoes because who knew feet shrink with weight loss, or my first tattoo (scheduled later today :smiley: ) Already have an vacation scheduled for July in the Dominican Republic so that is pressure well if I want to scuba dive and not be the floater anyway. I just want to be able to live, to be able to pull off on the side of the road and walk a trail for a mile or two, to park far away from the store doors and walk comfortably avoiding the bustle of parking near the front.

    That all pales in comparison to what I really want to do when I get to my goal weight, and that is enjoy my children for much longer than I could have had I not changed my life.

    Try on the clothes I wore in my before photo, then go out & buy a few new clothes (after 2 yrs of living from Goodwill!) I will prob get s body fat measurement in a bod pod of hydro tank.

    I was just thinking about this. I was wondering if I wanted to get a dexa-type scan now, and decided it would be a lot more useful once I get to maintenance weight. Then I could decide if I want to recomp or what body fat goals I might have.

    Buy new clothes and -hopefully it will still be summer- go swimming in a bikini!

    I honestly don't know, I don't expect to become an athlete or suddenly have tons of time to train for marathons. I want an average life, getting the minimum recommended exercise every day. I don't imagine perfection, I imagine shopping at normal stores for clothes whenever I would like something new. I'd like to get to a comfortable size and stick with it so I can have an actual wardrobe with outfits, not just some things to cover my body.

    I would like to have my breasts augmented some day, but it's unlikely to coincide with a weight loss goal.

    I don't know that I will ever get to goal in the sense of waking up one day, hopping on the scale and going "woohoo!". Because my goals aren't heavily scale based. It's a physical thing. I have a goal range I am aiming for and once there I will reassess whether to lose more or focus on fitness and recomp.

    I will however, start buying a lot more clothes and full price too, not just in the sales!

    I'm very much looking forward to maintenance calories though.

    I want to get actually fit and learn to actually eat healthy rather than just staying below

    You'll walk so much at Disney that I wouldn't worry a whole lot! :)

    Honestly? Lately, thinking about getting cosmetic surgery for the extra belly skin once it's all said and done.
