What is your big reveal? When you reach your goal?

in Introduce Yourself
Anyone have an event, or specific situation they picture in their head, when they think about reaching their goal?
Here's mine; I have a good friend who moved to Alabama in 2011. We only see each other once in the summer, when we meet-up at Hilton Head. The last we saw each other was this past July, 2012. She knows nothing about what I am doing, and I ain't telling. In my mind I keep seeing the look on her face, this coming July, when I get out of my car, at the Player's Club, in Hilton Head! It will be priceless! Cause I'm gonna be half the woman I use to be! LOL .....I soooo cannot wait!

    I want a photo shoot. And I want new pictures with my girls. Other than that, everyone sees me everyday so I can't do a big reveal. I love your idea.

    It's not really a reveal because everyone will see me regularly along the way but I am super excited for the beach with my boyfriend and his family in July. It's going to be so nice to feel comfortable :)

    I'm warming up more and more to the idea of entering a figure comp. That's still a long way away though.

    Cosplaying as She Hulk at Comic Con is another one

    I've been thinking of having a goal party once I hit my last 20. Most of my friends got to see me over 90lbs lighter at a friends wedding. I know it was her day but I got a ton of compliments and it was glorious!! Mind you this was a commitment ceremony, not a legal wedding, AND she did choose to have it on my birthday! She kinda had it coming ;-)

    I see my family quite regular, except for one who lives quite a way off, so I am going to wear my clothes that are too big and when I want to do the big reveal I'm going to buy some clothes that fit well, not over the top skin tight, but well fitted. I'm pretty sure it will be noticed then. The words I think I would like to hear are 'wow, you have a waist' :smile:

    A good friend of mine is coming to visit in the summer (around July) and I am also moving to a city near the beach (which means Bikinis 24/7).
    Good luck to all.

    I've seen a couple people say it already, but I'm hoping to go see some friends this summer that I haven't seen since last March. It'd be awesome to surprise them and see their reactions.

    Lost 110 pounds about 6 years ago. Kept it off for 3 years until I severely injured my spine. Didn't take any pics then because I hate having my picture taken. Gained back 80 pounds between surgeries. Last summer I attended my 30th class reunion with my best friend from high school. We talk on the phone all the time but I hadn't actually seen her in years. When someone there commented on how big I was I mentioned that I had lost it and was a size 8 a few years ago until I got hurt. My BFF was drunk and said "Don't believe her, she's been fat for years!" I was so angry and embarrassed. She said if I had actually gotten thin I would have the pictures to show it. So, my class decided to have another reunion in 2 years when we all turn 50. My big reveal will be walking in there looking awesome and telling my BFF to kiss my skinny *kitten*! I CAN'T WAIT!

    We're going to Las Vegas in August for my step-daughter's wedding. Since we haven't had a real vacation in many, many years, we decided to get there a week early and do some of the touristy stuff. One of the things we want to do is visit a water park since we live in Alaska and there isn't one real close to us. I'd just like to be able to wear a bathing suit and only be embarrassed about my pasty white skin; not the fact that I look like a beach ball too.

    I want to be dancing again before the summer, which means wearing things like leotards & practically nothing, which there's no way in heck I can imagine doing that in public right now. I don't even like being around people I know in regular clothes right now.

    Several "big reveal" moments I'd love:

    Confession: I have NEVER had a family portrait taken. Ever. I am happily married to a wonderful man and we have three beautiful little girls together. Our oldest is nearly 8 and our youngest just turned 1. We don't have a SINGLE fracking picture of our family. Not one SHRED of photographic evidence that we exist! I never ever allow myself to be photographed with the kids, and it breaks my heart to think that they will never have family photos to treasure in years to come. My number one goal after I lose the weight is to spring for all of us to get dressed up and have a big photo shoot.

    Number 2: swimming suits at the beach! I haven't worn a bathing suit in public since I was about...well hmm...9? Yeah, nine sounds about right. Oh, and get this: I live 6 miles from a sandy Southern California beach. I can't wait to like what I see when I put on a swimming suit. Sure, after 3 kids, I have a ton of stretch marks and will probably never wear a bikini, but I hear MiracleSuit makes some cute 1-pieces...

    Number 3: 10 year class reunion for high school is next summer. I'd love to look cute and go back to that and have a good time when people don't recognize me because I'm not that fat nerd from high school.
