    I want to be able to walk into a store and buy off the rack.
    I want to not have to ask for a seat belt extension on planes, and not feel as if I'm overcrowding my husband.
    I want to ride amusement park rides.
    I want to walk the hill in Lulworth with relative ease.
    I want to climb stairs without even thinking about it.
    I want to shave my legs with ease.

    These are once I get to my goal weight:
    Buy clothes at any store!
    Buy clothes without an X in the size.
    Wear a bathing suit without feeling like a whale.
    Wear a two piece!
    Wear high heels without feeling like my knees are going to buckle.
    Wear sassy clothes.
    Run.
    If I enjoy running, run a 5 or 10K.
    Look forward to working out!
    See my abs.
    Shop at Victoria's Secret.
    Not worry about if any bulges are showing b/c I won't have any.
    Have LOTS of space in a booth when we go to a restaurant.
    Ultimate goal: Wear a stunning gown for our 25th wedding vow renewal in 4 years. :)

    There are soooo many....but a few of the top ones are:

    -be able to do more active things with my son
    -buy a pair of pants that don't have elastic waist
    -fit into booths
    -wear a dress and heels
    - I want to have myself back...I have let this weight totally take over
    my life and it angers me...it has kept me back from so much but mostly
    I look forward to the day when I am the person I want to be and not the
    empty shell that is existing right now
    -I want to run a marathon...to push my body to it's limits in a FIT body...
    -have my husband/son be proud of me

    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 strongman

    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!

    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.
    I want to be able to but ladies trousers again at a reasonable price.
    I want to be able to dance with my kids and not burn out before them.

    Well the list is endless really........

    I am looking forward to being able to run around more with my kids without being out of breath or feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I also can't wait to be able to fit into rides at Kinds Island ( Amusement Park ) better without the little voice in my head saying suck it in or wondering if I will be able to fit in the seat. I can't wait to go cloths shopping and actually find cloths that fit me and to be able to buy what I want and like and not just what's available for my size. I'm looking forward to more energy and being more fit and healthy. I can't wait to physically be able to do what I've always wanted to do my weight and the results of that hold me back alot. I want a better quality of life with my hubby and my kids. I want to feel sexy again.

    My two biggies are:

    horseback riding
    &
    shopping.

    Also tattoos (afraid if I get them now they'd be unrecognizable later, haha) and wearing shorts & a tank top in the summer without being self conscious. Can't wait. :)

    Keep going. Unfortunately as a food addict there's no such thing as over for me, sigh.

    Too many things to list here, but the biggest is to just be treated like a human being. Had a really bad day on Wed., they have family swim at the YMCA and some of the kids were being obnoxious and rude and threw a ball at me and hit me with it and was excited that he "hit the whale".......Worst is the parents did and said nothing, the lifeguard took the ball away.

    Condensed from the mini-goal list on my blog (which is much longer):


    325 - can use my new Wii Fit (balance board limit is 330; I'm playing it safe)

    314 - my weight when I first met my boyfriend and the last time I could sit in most seats comfortably

    275 - the last time I could put the armrests down on a plane without squeezing myself in

    185 or 190 - the last time I could fit on all of the rides at Cedar Point

    175 - I can shop in "normal" clothing stores again (size 12/14)

    I am rewarding myself with a trip to North Carolina, once I lose 50lbs. I've never been before. When I hit my first MAJOR goal of -100 pounds, I'd like to return to Europe. I love Europe, and I am sure I'll appreciate it more, when I am not carrying 360lbs up all the hills and winding streets :)

    Other things I am looking forward to:
    * being active with my family
    * fitting on roller coaster rides again!!!!
    * biking
    * buying an ENTIRE new wardrobe
    * feeling good about my overall appearance
