    Done most of yours Sarge,,, oh hell yes.
    This seems to be more of a 'gal' thread. But as a real old school guy I will give you my 'Top Ten' list includes....

    1- Fit into the 38" Jeans I've stacked away on the top shelf of my closet (the 36" jeans are just wishfull thinking).
    ((I was there,,, I'm in 32's now. It rox, keep it up, you'll get there))

    2- Mow the grass sans a t-shirt again
    ((Doing that later this week )).

    3-Being at least noticed by gals 20 years my junior (how about at least a second glance?)
    ((Yep, it happens, it's kewl.))

    4-Stare down the teenage punk at the que for movie tickets that takes cuts and tell him ' the end of the line is back there' (and point). He will make his way to the end of the line and otherwise won't do anything.
    ((Yeah, I didn't really have that problem. I never lost the cereal killer look, even when heaview))

    5-Have younger gals note that my arms/shoulders/chest are considerably larger than the guy they are with. Plus my butt is thighter and thighs are bigger....just like the old days.
    ((I don't know what they're 'noting', and I don't care. I'm just glad I'm not invisible anymore))

    6- Have a spring in my step, getting out of my vehicle, getting away from my desk, etc. Probably should have made this number one.
    ((Yep, it feels good to feel good))

    7- Watching the younger guys trying to bench press what I just did
    ((I gym at home. I have caught the teens that use my stuff sometimes suggesting that I just loaded dumbbells up to 50# to impress them, 'cause there's no way he curls that'. I coolly walked up and knocked out a set of 8, then handed one to each kid. No - they didn't one-hand them. :laugh: ))

    8-Watching the younger guys trying to do as many push-ups or leg lifts as I just did
    ((They don't even try))

    9-Having an encounter with an 'ex' and seeing the pretend as to how not seeing how good I look
    ((I don't have an ex, but my current is somewhat pleased)).

    10- Looking down at that scale on Saturday morning (when I do my weigh-ins) and seeing that good number. What a great feeling
    ((I'm not <quite> there, but I'm really close, and really happy))

    I know all of the above sounds conceited but I refuse to apolgize for being confident. It's a guy thing.
    What we're doing requires superhuman discipline. Probably 80% who try it fail. If you're successful you have every right to be please and proud.

    What a good post! Mine include shopping of course, but I figure with all the money I'm saving on not eating out, it should balance out in the end. :)

    1.) Keep the weight off!
    2.) Make a lifestyle change and continue eating healthy
    3.) Buy new skinny jeans
    4.) & new shoes
    5.) & new tops for work
    6.) & new workout pants
    7.) Buy more Turbo Jam videos to expand my collection and keep my motivated
    8.) Buy the Charmed box set (yes I love this show)
    9.) Have a picture taken with my husband and son by the time he is 1 year
    10.) Be an inspiration to my in-laws who struggle with their weight. If I can do it, so can you!

    lululemon is a website/brand of clothes - supercute yoga-ish clothes...

    My list:
    1.) Buy a digital SLR camera
    2.) Get a tattoo
    3.) Wear real clothes to work instead of just scrubs (I got tired of always having to buy new ones - so I wear scrubs with a drawstring instead)
    4.) Donate my hair to Locks of Love and rock a super cute short 'do
    5.) Break 30 minutes on my 5k (yes, I'm slow)
    6.) Run another half marathon
    7.) Sign up for a full marathon
    8.) Try some of the bike rides out here - with a group where I have to keep up
    9.) Sign up for a sprint triathalon
    10.) Buy more workout clothes! I love workout clothes!

    I responded to this thread last March. There has been an 'update'

    I'm now (easily) into 36" jeans. I'm sub 215 pounds. I can do a chin-up again (I have a ways to go towards doing 10 but I'm working on it daily). Have done 50 push-ups, Can actually feel abs including lower ones. Hoo-Ay! Reached my weight loss goal and then some.

    Thank you MFP!
