    My dreams are to travel the world (not just one place~ there are so many I'm dying to see. If I could at least visit each continent I'll be happy. 2 down so far!), to have a baby, and to own a farm-like property by a stream where I can have lots of animals running around. Almost forgot, I would love to one day get back into the art/fashion field and make a career out of it!!!

    What's stopping me from all of the above is money~ but I'm going to find a way to make it all happen! :happy:

    Those are wonderful dreams. I want to see a few places overseas but there is so much here that I havent seen yet. I would love to visit every state on my Harley. I have made about half of them so far.

    The money is always a stopping point. There are ways around it.

    - To look like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!
    - To be a professional artist.
    - To be a tattoo artist.
    - To give my wife the chills when she sees me with my shirt off!!!!

    I dont know how to help with the first one! You are on your own!

    Are you already an amature artist? Do you need to take classes? WHat will it take to get there?

    Giving your wife chills may be possible if you figure out the Rock dream!

    My dream is to have a handful of happy, self-sufficient kids who are well on their way to being happy, self-sufficient adults; and to be healthy myself through it all - I have a 14 month-old so far, and I can tell my weight is going to make being a mom a lot harder - getting up and down off the floor, carrying him for long stretches (I don't have a waist, which means I don't have a good hip for him to sit on), etc. And when he starts really running, that's going to be another challenge. If I can get myself down a few sizes before we start planning for the next one, it'll be an easier pregnancy too. This is going to be a long quest, because I'll go back and forth between being working hard on losing and working hard on gaining at an appropriate rate during pregnancy. On top of all that, I'd like to have family pictures that don't involve my double chin.

    WOW! You are a brave woman! I can only handle the two I have. But I hang on tight! I share your dream in the aspect of them growing into healthy self sufficient adults.

    It was only a year ago I hated going upstairs to my kids room because it winded me. Never again. now I run up EVERY time and dont get winded.

    My second was over 10 pounds and my wife was at a size 12-14. That was last september. With my help she is now a size 4. Smaller then her smallest ever. She is happier then ever and feels great, as do i. I love what I do.

    Keep pushing, ask for help and support when you need it and just be bad *kitten*! Let me know if you need anything. Id love to help.

    I have always preferred reality to fantasy.
    Every fantasy I ever had just prompted me to take action to fulfill that through motion.
    Some things were a huge let down while other deeds were WONDERFUL!:drinker:
    As for my dream as to what life I want to obtain?
    I am living it!
    A dream with a plan attached becomes a goal, and a person can have just about anything he or she wants.
    Go for it!

    I have simple dreams, be able to play basketball with my kid and at the community center, get the weight off which will lead to better health!

    Not only will it lead to better health, it will lead to wanting to do more and more. I wanted to not get winded walking up a flight of stairs, now I want to train for a Tough Mudder. Its only been a year. Getya some!

    My dream would be to open a business with my husband
    Publish my book
    have both of my children graduate from College with honors
    buy my mother the house of her dreams
    Make a pilgrimage to Mecca

    Is your book already written? Have you submitted it anywhere yet?

    What type of business would you open?

    Your dreams are similar to mine. But i think I want to make my pilgrimage to Guiness!

    I don't use the word 'dream' ... I prefer 'goal' :)

    I have hundreds and I review them every three months.

    One for me at the moment that I don't see happening unless I take massive action is becoming a life coach :)

    Life coaching is a great career path if you are good at it. What actions do you need to take to get there?

    My dream was to find something to do outside the office and away from a set schedule.
    REAL ESTATE!
    That led to business brokerage, success, investments and retirement.
    I am 48 years old.
    Now, all I do is play!:drinker:

    For my tiny design studio to make it big, so I can sell it, move to the middle of nowhere and open an animal sanctuary.


    Basically my dream is to be a weird dog lady.

    Doesnt it just take one great design to make it big? Make that happen! Is it because you have a bigger dream of the animal sanctuary or because you are unhappy with the design studio?

    Better weird dog lady then weird cat lady!

    Design/Advertising was my career of choice, and I'm fortunate to earn a living doing something I enjoy. However.....at the end of the day all I'm doing is selling people stuff they mostly don't need.

    The animal sanctuary is the bigger dream.

    Sounds like you have your head on straight then. You seem to know exactly what you want. Make it happen!

    My dream is so silly. I've only shared this with my mom and my best friend. I just want to do nothing.

    Sometimes doing nothing is bliss. Never seems to happen around here with two small children.

    my dream is to put on a white wedding dress on :cry: i had a quick wedding at city hall which worked out for me since i hate to see myself in a white dress:sad:

    What do you need to do to make it happen? What changes are you willing to make and sacrifices are you willing to take? Its all about accountability to yourself and making the right choice, even if it isnt the one you want to make. You can do it!

    My dream is to play the role of Archibald Craven in the musical, The Secret Garden. I have more than enough talent to vocally pull it off, and plenty of stage experience to make it wonderful. All I need now, is a body that won't sway the director away from casting me in the role. There is a VERY good chance that this show will be in the 2013-2014 line-up at a local community theatre guild I'm a member of, which gives me at least one more year to get into suitable shape for auditions.

    I'll know by October if the show will be in the 2013-2014 line-up. If it gets set back another year, that will just give me extra time to get my body in even better shape!

    Thats great! A friend of mine just got back into theater after many years out because she missed it and thought she couldnt do it. Not only did she do it, she killed it! Sounds like you have the ability with no problem, the physical side may need work. In the last 12 months I have gone from the worst to the best shape of my life. If I can do It, so can you! Good luck! or is it break a leg?

    To go back to England :) I love it there!

    To be able to wear a sexy dress and not feel like the "fat" chick trying to squeeze into a dress that doesnt fit.

    Able to lose the 50 pounds needed to get pregos and have healthy babies!

    I have never been....Italy sounds like a place I would enjoy checking out. Over the last year I have lost 40 pounds on the scale and tons of inches so I get ya. I am now wearing size large tank tops every chance I get just to get comfortable with it and get a little sun that I havent in the last 15 years. I am now able to roughhouse with my kids without gassing out.

    Have you been making progress with your 50 pounds?

    I have absolutely loved all the pairs of bright, colourful skinny jeans that I've seen in shops and online everywhere this year, but I've loved them from afar because they wouldn't look good on my body as it is at the minute. My dream is to be rocking a pair of those skinny jeans and feeling great in them come this New Years Eve (also the night I turn 20!)! I really love this quote by Walt Disney: "All our dreams can come true...if we have the courage to pursue them" - it keeps me going!

    That is a wonderful quote. If you dont chase them they will get away. Never let them get away, go after them with all your might.

    I expect to see you in skinny jeans by NYE!!!

    It's always changing... right now I'd say, finishing school, having career stability, maybe even being financially stable...

    Those are very common dreams....especially in this current economic state. What are you going to school for?
  • davecannon
    davecannon Posts: 92
    My dream? Graduate school & a Ph.D. I'd also like to be 50 lbs lighter when I get there. :]

    How long do you have before graduation? You can make it with diligence.

    I have lots of dreams (all of which I hope to one day make a reality) - To lose all of my excess weight and be the bonified hottie I know is hiding inside this fat person... To quit my day job in Marketing and Design and pursue my career as the fine artist i've trained my whole life to be, showing in galleries all over the world and have the financial freedom to be comfortable and secure; to travel the world with my husband, notably to New Zealand, Australia, all over Europe and Fiji; To own my own bakery and cafe.... I already have the name, logo, menu, restaurant design, recipes and business and marketing plans in my mind.... sigh. I love to dream... it's our lifetimes we have to then make them a reality!

    You have it all planned out.....I love it! I too have a business idea in mind, including Logo. I am working towards making mine reality, I just dont want to take my lifetime to do it. Great dreams!

    Few different courses which I plan to do within 12 months or so... the challenge comes in the self employment part :) I want to focus on weightloss clients too :)

    To be a mom. Have my own children and adopt. I want a family! Be married for a billion years to the man of my dreams and raise our kids together. Watch our kids grown into adults and have children of their own and then spoil the crap out of my grandkids.

    The picket fence syndrome! LOL

    I love it! You are all set up! You have the tools to make it happen.....get on it!

    To not worry about my weight holding me back.
    To be in a healthy place when I'm ready to have kids with my husband.
    To travel with my husband -- I've been so fortune and have seen majority of the US and a lot of Europe whereas he's never left the country. I want to share that with him!
    To write a book.

    Those are nice dreams. Writing a book has been a small desire of mine for a while but not sure what I want to write. It will come to me one day Im sure.

    Thank you. :) Ideas for a book have matured over time and expanded over time. I'm a photographer and an avid reader as well as being obsessed with a lot of different types of music -- all of which has been inspirational for me. My main idea, the one I plan to run with, started only as a small idea and then blossomed into something bigger when I started asking why this was happening or why this person does this or how this person got there, etc.
