I guess I'm weird in that I don't have a goal weight. Once you get to the point of becoming and staying morbidly obese for a time, your body will never quite be the same. Medical science is saying that they even need to create new standards of new BMI charts because folks who have gotten to a certain level of fat and or stayed fat for a length of time now have fat cells that will never have the same capacity to achieve the former/traditional BMI expectations due to volume of empty fat cells and such.
My goals are all health gains and wanting to be off meds and have good labs and such...1 -
@kpk54 - Congrats on losing the weight and lol on the cheerleading jacket! I also cheered a long time ago and still have one of my practice uniforms packed away somewhere - I think it's a size 00. I'm pretty sure 1 of my current thighs would not even fit in the waistband.
BTW, I don't aspire to be that thin again, just healthy.
@Niccidawn092 being a good example for your daughter is wonderful - I try to be very careful about how I speak about my body around my 18 year old daughter.
@KnitOrMiss I think health gains are my top priority too. I want to age well and be active in my senior years.1 -
Hmm. I'm of two minds (as I usually am).
On the top of my list is being healthy. The heart thing and the T2 diagnosis really scared the bejeebus out of me. So normal bloodsugars and a clean bill of health top my what-I-want-out-of-all-this-effort/focus list.
After that the list gets more interesting (at least to me). In no particular order except how they occurred to me,
I want:
To be able to bend over without my stomach in the way.
I want my boobs to not try and choke me when I sleep.
I want to not need the CPAP anymore.
I want to try on all the "someday I'll fit into this again" clothes and then get rid of them all!
I want my flexibility back.
I want my belly not to be in the way during sex.
I want another sex related goal that I think is TMI to explain.
I want a vacation where I wear nothing but a bikini and look good wearing it.
I want my daughters to see my success and join me in this woe.
I want my wedding and engagement rings to fit again.
I want endurance for doing things (housecleaning, shopping, hiking, etc)
I want to be comfortable wearing a standard 18" chain necklace
I want to be able to dance again.
I want to be able to sit in an airplane seat without feeling like I'm crowding the person next to me.
I want to be the woman my husband deserves.
and perhaps the biggest one
I want to live more fully, I want to take advantage of all the opportunities life gives me without trying to accommodate my fat limitations.
I could prolly come up with more, but that's a start.

Good health. Less pain. Forever.
And never having back jiggle again. I really disliked back jiggle.2 -
I gained weight through the menopause. Then followed hormone driven breast cancer, with no boobs I can see my belly, I would preference to see my toes LOL. I have decided to go low carb as cancer 'loves sugar" so this WOE has to be a permenant life change for me, but so want to lose some LB's2

I want to find the funds for boob and arm surgery, and also for the skin under my chin. Could be pretty expensive... but I really am unhappy with those areas after losing so much weight. Would be so nice to feel really good.1
