What are you looking forward to along the way and at your goal weight?
For me:
- I will run a 5k.
- I will have a little black dress.
- I will be comfortable wearing nothing but a bathing suit at the beach.
- I will get a tattoo.
- I will look good naked.
And, most importantly:
- I will get pregnant!
Edit: No WANTS. I WILL!

To be able to TTC at a safe weight.
To run a 5k.
To be in Onderland.
To be able to ride a roller coaster.
To not be embarrassed to take family photos.0 -
In August I am going on a hot air balloon and a helicopter.
In October I am doing a 5k mud run obsticles course
These are things I am challenging and rewarding myself with this year0 -
I look forward to not struggling with movements normal-sized people find easy and don't even think about - like getting down and up off the floor, reaching my feet, crossing my legs, jogging....
I look forward to hopefully reducing my snoring. I feel bad about that for my husband. Plus feeling sexier. I feel bad about that too.
I look forward to not thinking about my weight as an issue when needing to go to the doctor. I'd like to be able to go to the doctor without getting a lecture.
I look forward to not ever worrying about a chair being too small or tight.
I look forward to my current clothes getting not so tight, then too big, then finally being able to fit into and wear the stash of clothes I have in the next size down hidden in the back of my closet... Then of course some day those being too big and even eventually not being a plus size anymore and shopping in a regular store. Ideally I'd like to get down to at least a size 8 so I can be a single digit, but I'd settle for 10/12 as long as I was a regular size.
When I really think about these things, I find it shocking I let myself go so much that these are my problems. But they are. For a long time I was just overweight and it didn't seem to be really impacting me... Then all of a sudden, though I know it didn't happen suddenly, I was no longer just overweight but obese, and morbidly obese at that. And it seemed like suddenly I went from not really feeling like it impacted my life to feeling like it impacts every single thing about my life all day every day.
More immediately, I look forward to updating my MFP ticker to show weight loss - but I don't weigh in again until 2/1.0 -
-I look forward to running my first mud run in June this year.
-Being able to shop in the misses section of the store.
-Riding a roller coaster with my son and not worrying if the seat will buckle or not....sometimes the do (with coaxing) sometimes they don't (sooo embarrassing to have to get off and wait by the side).
-I want to hike and be able to outlast my children.
2013 is going to be AMAZING!0 -

These are wonderful things to llok forward to. Far to many people take these things for granted and after you are able to do them not a day will go by that you will not be delighted in the fact that you can!0 -
The biggest thing I look forward to is the future because the past is just that and the future is bright and holds endless possibilities!0

Ditto all of the above.
1. Roller Coaster--haven't been on one in 8 years after not fitting one time.
2. Beach--We go every summer and every summer I avoid being documented by camera or video
3. Regular Clothes Store--Tired of having to struggle to find age appropriate clothes in my size
4. Activity--I want to be able to run 5K and half marathons with my hubby and to keep up with my kids
5. Confidence--There was a time I would walk in a room and want all eyes on me...not so much now!0 -
1. Not worrying about fitting in furniture or sitting next to someone in the back of a car or on a bus/airplane
2. Shopping at the cheap and fabulous stores for smaller sized women
3. Not getting tired as quickly
4. Being perfectly fine with having my picture taken
5. Not having my thighs be raw after walking around all day in a dress or skirt
6. Cosplaying (dressing up as a character, often done at cons like Comic Con) and looking more like the character
7. Being more likely to get a good job and when getting one get paid more (I know its awful but there have been studies and overweight people are less likely to get hired and when they get hired they make less money since they are viewed as lazy)
8. Being sexier0 -

Wow, you guys have all pretty much said exactly what I am thinking.
There are so many things that I can't do, or have trouble doing, just because of my weight. I look forward to the day when "can't" is no longer part of my vocabulary.0 -
