    YES! I want that too.

    And here is more: I live in a Southeast Asian country where literally most of the women are between a size 0 and a size 6. Needless to say I have not been able to buy any clothing here at all for 8 years, and in fact have to wait to shop every 2 years when we go home!! :(

    In the tourist areas are beautiful things in more Western sizes..still only going up as high as maybe a 10 or 12. I would dearly love to be able to go out and buy something off a rack here!

    My goal is to have better health and more stamina..to be able to be on my feet, for longer periods of time....and maybe get a job in retailing. Ive been a stay at home mom for many years.
    I want to wear clothes that are a little more stylish...
    One bad thing I know is going to happen when I lose weight is I will look older in my face, as I am 53...the face is one part of the body that doesnt improve with weight loss at that age.

    I think this is a great topic because it speaks to all of our hopes and dreams of being the best we can be and having the life we can enjoy. I need to keep these 'can't wait 'till I cans...' ever before me so that I will have the hope to keep going, day after day, week after week...even is the scales are not kind.

    Oh, by the way...I was agreeding with Dane about being able to go into any store and buy from the rack, not the running around in my undies in front of my husband.

    Already do that! lol.

    Not thinking about my my weight all the time!!!!!
    Getting back into my "skinny" clothes
    Lounging around in my undies without being afraid to look down
    Not wearing a t-shirt and shorts over my swimsuit when I go swimming
    Being able to eat the occasional brownie or piece of pie without wondering if people are looking at me thinking, "she really doesn't need to be eating that"
    Ceasing to annoy my boyfriend with "I'm such a fatso" remarks

    I will have to save all the physical activity goals like hiking and water-skiing for the list of things to look forward to after I quit smoking, haha.

    buy a new wordrobe. I want to be able to go into work smaller size scrubs and be noticed. I also want my leg pains to go away. And to be able to bend over and also get up and down without having to grunt and moan.

    Wow. This is such an amazing topic. And here I am 9 years later. Sadly I never reached those goals, though I lost and gained 35 pounds over and over again. I did however try many things...I got back to swimming, I learned how to lift weights, I joined Crossfit and did that for nearly 2 years, along with eating Paleo. I FELT wonderful, ten years younger...however, I really did not go down drastically in size. I need to loose over 100 pounds...and I went all the way from a size 28 to a size 24...and held there. My body LOOKED much better, in that I was kind of...re-arranged...musclely and toned. I had stamina out the wazoo. I deadlifted 240 pounds and back squatted 150!! I was by far the oldest and the fattest lady at Crossfit! Haahaha.....then, sadly, in 2013 unknown to me, I developed endometrial cancer. I found out in July of 2015...and this past year has just been about getting better. And praise Jesus I DID get better, I am cancer free, and I am starting all over again, for about the 4th time since I began this thread.

    I still want to do those things above, and just want to add...having been really fit during the Crossfit season I am looking for that same measure of fitness. However, I must not over excercise, as my doctor told me that I probably was living in a contstant state of fight or flight. So now....we are back to swimming...and eating clean and simple foods well within my calorie allotment here...and loving it.
