    Shoes - please tell me your feet lose weight too? Hard to find shoes for hoof feet!
    Being able to wear a smaller ring size

    I hear that these things do happen for many people. Fingers crossed. :)
    Yes your feet lose weight. It has to be a substantial weight loss.

    It also depends too on your shape and how you carry your weight. Personally? I have bony wrists and hands (and ankles), so weight gain/loss has no discernible impact at all on ring size or wrist size. My sister (who is a similar size and weight) does notice a difference with weight changes. We are just built differently.

    But for some people weight gain makes their feet wider, which necessitates a larger shoe size.

    Shopping for regular size clothes in regular stores. So long Lane Bryant.

    This one does not bother me too much. I think it is easier to find smaller size clothes though at lower prices which I do look forward to.

    CLOTHES!
    Shoes - please tell me your feet lose weight too? Hard to find shoes for hoof feet!
    Being able to wear a smaller ring size
    More hairstyle choices

    I have wide feet even if I am thinner. Maybe if I was really thin then it would make a difference but it doesn't between about 170-300 lbs

    Being attractive and having people actually hit on me for once.


    I actually like being left alone by guys. It is a comfort zone. I am not exactly the kind of girl guys like even when I am thin because I am an INTJ, but that does not really matter considering I am married.

    What can't you do today due to excess weight that you look forward to doing once you lose weight...

    Going to see live theater
    hot bath
    flying coach

    I don't like feeling fat and unattractive. It is not what other people think about me but what I think about myself that matters. Being fat is just not sexy or attractive to me. I would like to have more children too. I cannot get pregnant over 200 lbs.

    Swimming. I used to love swimming more than anything, but there isn't a chance in hell you'll get me in a bathingsuit any time soon. I don't nescesarily crave wearing bikini's, but I would love to feel comfortable in any sort of swimwear *just* to be able to go swimming again.

    I would like to learn to swim really well. I love the water and swimming is so fun for me. It is kind of hard endurance wise to swim very far though. Private lessons would be nice but I don't want to show up for a private lesson and then be unable to do what I am asked to do.

    I've been able to cross my legs for a couple months now and it still thrills me.

    Can walk now too. The dream is to run. To dance. To hike and carry a backpack instead of extra weight. To camp again.

    To fit in one airplane seat. To plop down without bending/breaking chair legs in offices and cafes. To use "up to 250 pound" capacity ladders, recliners, shower benches, etc. To have the stamina to stand for a whole shower.

    To climb. To clamber. To crouch. To get up from low places using just my legs. To crawl under a table to plug in a light. To walk down an aisle without squeezing around people. To not put off laundry because it's way downstairs.

    To pop up and down from my chair whenever I need something - instead of asking someone else to get it for me.

    To have more energy. To see family more. To get more done. To have a cleaner home.

    To wear unreasonable shoes and short skirts. To not need a jacket to cover my hips. To fit in my clothes. To have a figure.

    To have a healthy heart, feet, knees. Unswollen ankles. Less stress. More respect. More happiness. To be more fun. For the excess not to disfigure my smile.

    To blend into a crowd. To fit through small doorways. To not feel crowded in a sleeping bag, in the drivers seat, in a room. To feel like I actually belong in this world, not feel like an outsider.
