    The first thing I plan to do once I lose the weight is to finally go shopping. Also I plan on getting my belly button re pierced.

    I'm doing another sexy session when I reach goal weight and I am so confident that it will happen this fall that I already have scheduled it.
    I'm a professional photographer myself and own my own studio so I'll be having my assistant take my portraits. She has done this for me once before in the studio. This time I want to do outdoor portraits. My husband will LOVE them.

    I want to take part in a powerlifting competition. I love to lift weights and I want to be that girl that looks small but can wow everyone with how strong she is.

    I also want to wear a low back dress somewhere and not have to worry about fat spilling out.

    Oh and at work there is a sign I see every day that says the floor can only support 250lb per square foot. I never want to look at that sign again and think, "hmm if I stand in place too long, will I fall through the floor?"

    Coming from the southern US, I've always envied the people who can live in tank tops and short shorts or tiny sundresses. I want to join them next summer.

    I want to wear something absolutely fabulous to my five-year college reunion in 2014 and have everyone freak out.

    I'd love to do a colour run or something similar. I've had bad knees and been restricted in my exercise for 10 years, but I think if I can lose the weight then it's possible. Hadrian's Wall is pretty close to where I live, and I'd love to hike the entire length of it one day, too.

    Wonderful thread, and reading about all the goals makes me even more motivated! Good luck reaching your goals, everyone!

    I can't wait to move to Florida in a couple years, hopefully I won't have to worry about getting harpooned on the beach by then.

    One word: bikini

    ^^ that.

    I've gotten to where I can wear my old bikini and my husband says "not bad!" I'm aiming for being able to wear a new bikini so well that my husband is a little nervous about my wearing it outside of the house.

    So, a bit about me. I was once in shape, many years ago. I was able to ride a bike for miles and miles, even up hill if you can believe that. I swam miles, not feet. Sometime up the river just for the extra work. I walked, I hiked, I did fun things, I hung out with people. And then all that changed.

    I'm entirely sure when it changed, It seems I suddenly woke up one day morbidly obese. OK, so I busted one knee and tore up the other, developed a serious case of depression and social anxiety, caught me some arthritis and continued to steadily gain weight for over a decade until I got to where I am now, fat, in pain and barely able to move. Surviving instead of living. After years of therapy I'm finally dealing with the depression and working though it (it never completely goes away), working on dropping weight and eventually getting bariatric surgery to help me get healthy again.

    One of my biggest problems is staying motivated. A large part of that is due to the depression and how it screws with my mind and my thought processes. So I have to keep coming up with reasons to not simply give up and climb in bed until my hear finally pops. This is a daily struggle for me. I've started thinking about those things I want to be able to either again, or for the first time. The more I think about it, the longer that list gets.

    Here are just a few of the things I look forward to doing or being able to do:
    -scuba diving
    -dancing again
    -riding a motorcycle comfortably
    -riding a mountain bike again
    -not worrying if what I'm sitting on can support my weight

    and when I get in really good shape again, taking a picture and sending it to all the people who judged me for being fat with a nice big F U attached.

    So tell me, what are some of the things you all want to be able to do that you can't? What keeps you going?

    It takes a lot of strength to post what you did...I don't know if I could have done that.

    I know exactly where you are coming from..at 5'6", I was knocking at 400 pounds at my highest. It's mind bending being not just overweight, but, to hit the super obese category, it's physically and mentally debilitating.

    Being able to get out of bed without rolling, scooting or heaving myself out were big ones. Other, seemingly innocuous things, like being able to reach my E-break iny car without having to open the door and nearly get out to reach it, was another. Not having to sit down to put my pants on. Not having to think about the size of the booths or chairs at a restraunt. Parking my car WHEREVER and walking...rather than driving around and waiting forever for a spot close to the entrance to open up.

    ....the biggest and BEST rewards have been, my relationships with my family and friends. I didn't realize what the depression and sadness had done to how I treated others and how I interacted with them. I was cranky with my children, who got the brunt of my sadness, for no reason. My husband, who has loved and supported me through it....has admitted, I was downright *****y most of the time. :(

    I applaud you for the steps you are taking. Emotional and physical! When you're staring down the barrel of having to lose 200, 300+ pounds...there are hardly words that can express the emotions that came up in me, anyway. Fear, anger, excitement, all wrapped up. Some people think bariatric surgery is cheating or some easy way out-IT'S NOT!! It's one step in a life long journey! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Screw the haters!!

    My most sincere best wishes to you. Anything I can do to help...I'm here. :D I'm definitely a work in progress still, but, getting support is CRUCIAL to our success!!

    When I get to my goal weight, I'm going to dress how I WANT TO , not just whatever fits. I never had the guts to dress the way I wanted when I was younger and fit, but I'm bloody going to do it this time around!!

    Your goals are great, but try setting some smaller, more immediate ones for the short term. If you're just looking way ahead, it's easy to get depressed and want to give up. Set your goal to increase the distance you walk. If you walk a block, shoot for two, then three or four, then try to do it in less time. Just don't think it all has to happen in a day or two. If you have a buddy who can do things with you, that helps. I always seem to walk farther when walking and talking with a friend. If you hit a plateau, don't letit stop you. Just keep on. Things will come. When I first lost some weight, I saw my blood work improve. That gave me more motivation. Good luck! You seem to have the right attitude. You can do this!

    Get a tattoo on my rib-cage
    Go to an amusement park and not feel scared of the rides (not the dips and speed, but actually fitting in the seat)
    Skydiving and not worrying about being over the weight limit.
    Wear cute clothes EVERY DAY
    Wear something really sexy on my wedding night.
