Maybe not a bucket list, per se, but there are a few things I'm looking forward to:
Being able to play with my kids for more than a short while.
Getting back in to some of my favourite clothes.
Being able to put on my sock and tie my shoes easily.
Not having to worry about whether or not I'll fit into chairs/booths etc.
Looking good.
Feeling good.
Better sex.
Sexy underwear.
Riding my bike again.
There's lots more, but that's a start.

Shoot and score, not have to dig under the pile of pants hoping there might be the big size you need( why do they always put the big sizes on the bottom when we can not hardly bend over?)0 -

I'll split these into "lost weight" and "get stronger", since one goal doesn't really relate to the other.
Lost weight:
Go shopping in Wal-Mart and find shirts that fit.
Take my son to an amusement park and ride the rides beside him (once he's tall enough)
Get a bicycle
Get stronger:
I want to pull a bus - seriously. I'm up to 7200 lbs, and an empty school bus is about 20,000.
Try out for strongman0 -
Ditto for most of the reasons mentioned (aside from the ones related to kids...don't have any).
I also want to do one of the race car experiences where you get to drive the car around the track a few laps. There's no way now I could even begin to get into the car since you have to climb through the window. I think it would be fun!0 -
I want to ride a bike again.
I want to be able to do a walk without my legs rubbing, my belly getting sore.
I want to be able to do activities without sewating loads and getting puffed out.
I want to be able to do 15 mins on the cross trainer again.
