    I share many of the ones already listed, stores, roller coasters, bathing suits. Also, I would love to be able to tie my shoes sitting in a chair, instead of needing to be on the bed where I can bring my leg up next to me.

    Like many others have said - TRAVEL! No worries on a plane, no worries walking around a fabulous exotic city, no worries about hundreds of stairs to get to a monument.

    And, my own "I have made it!" celebration goal... hang gliding.

    I already knocked a few things off my list already...

    - Not shopping at big and tall store (but I still do because I'm so tall)
    - Being able to fit on roller coasters
    - Not looking completely ridiculous if riding a sport motorcycle (my gift to myself for losing 120, although gained 20 back. :( )

    I admit the rest of my list is extremely superficial, but whatever motivates you, right?

    - Go to a water park without feeling extremely ridiculous
    - All variations on turn heads, look attractive, etc, etc.
    - Able to shop at the store that was the bane of my overweight existence: Abercrombie & Fitch lol... Nah, I still hate that store

    I would like to be able to buy clothes at a store instead of a specialty catalog or making them.
    I want to run a marathon.
    I want to be able to buy a plane ticket and go somewhere, not be limited to driving if my family wants to travel.
    I want to be able to go to my kids' schools and not have my kids made fun of for having a fat mom.
    I want to go out in public and not have kids poke my butt and run away giggling. Happens more than you would think.

    1. Ride the Ferris Wheel at the Texas State Fair
    2. Wear high heel boots/shoes
    3. Start riding horses again, and possibly show jumping (if the "bad" knee will tolerate)
    4. Join a Co-Ed softball team

    Of course, there are bunches and bunches MORE, but those are the ones that pop to mind. I was soooooo thankful when I finally lost enough to fit into restaurant booths! It was such a headache always having to have a table and never being able to sit at a booth, and my family just never understood why we had to always sit at a table.

    I want to be able to wear sexy clothes again, play with my daughters, dance, have energy, and find clothes at the store and not have to order everything on-line. I also want to prove everyone wrong and show them that I can lose the weight!!!

    I got a variation of that when I went to China. I got poked in the gut multiple times by kids. I think they'd never seen a 300+ lb guy in their life.
