When I get to my goal weight I am going to...

SemiSweet-I'm with you-Going to make Love to my husband with all the lights on and without a shirt to cover me up...
Then make him take me shopping-that's a given.

I reached my goal weight and I'm trying to maintain. It is more difficult but hopefully I can do it for the REST of my life. I have bought many new clothes in sizes I NEVER thought I'd ever be in again! I have a swimming suit that is a LOT smaller than my old one. I now love to shop for clothes which I used to hate. I get to go with my daughter and daughters-in-law and have fun buying clothes along side of them instead of in the old fat lady section! I enjoy exercising and I'm not afraid to get out and go. I will have the energy to play with my grandbabies. I have one and two on the way!!! My kids and husband are proud of me and I can feel pretty instead of fat and ugly! I tried on 2 pairs of pants that I wore about 15 years ago and they fit and that was a few pounds ago. I did try on a couple of other pants that I was way skinny and looked good in when I was in my twenties and they didn't fit but no big deal. I'm not in my twenties anymore and I weigh less than I ever thought I would again!

I LOVE LOVE being thin even though I really need to tone up and hopefully the extra skin will shrink. I still love food so it is still a battle, especially with the sugar and Dr. Pepper but it is definitely worth it! Keep working until you get there and enjoy your success when you do!!!

ditto on the professional massage!! maybe on a delightful cruise ship somewhere tropical

Oh and I've always wanted to show off my killer (and soon to be svelte) curves in awesome vintage pin up girl style

I have always wanted a bettie page dress, you know I seen one on sale for 25 dollars online!! but did not buy is because it would never fit me.. That's what I thought, but some day I will be able to wear one of those dresses Too bad I am soo short though it would prob not "hug' my body right :sad:

wish I could find some pin up style dresses for shorties

I know!! The styles are so great right now with the button up shirt dresses and old fashioned sundresses, I just wish I could squeeze into one! And no worries! Some of the best pinup girls were a little on the petite side . I'm more concerned that those dresses are just hugging my 5'7" frame a little tooo tightly right now, I'll just have to survive with my gorgeous little pencil skirt for the moment Mae West is so my girl

Check out toofastonline.com and catslikeus.com...Ya'll need to remember that pin ups were curvacious, sexy, thick women...they weren't the heroin sheik that we all see these days. Betty Page, Marilyn Monroe...these girls had boobs hips and thighs that could rock any mans world. And PS, if you're short (5'2 here) get it altered!!! I have pin up girls every where because they remind me that I am NO LESS OF A PERSON IF MY THIGHS TOUCH!

We are all doing the right thing by trying to get healthy but don't let the little milestones go by! Celebrate everyday! There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON that you can' t have that little betty page dress! I think you would be surprised how hot you would look in it!!!

and get that Longhorn tattoo you have been wanting!

I think NOT!

Actually, I like Texas and Oklahoma more than Notre Dame, USC, UCLA, Ohio State & Penn State but that ain't saying much!

thats a start!

First of all I am getting my black dress and going somewhere nice with my hubby. Then I want to get cute new clothes. And last of all to keep from going back to the way I was, I want to set regular goals so I can run long distance. My dad was an athlete, so I want to make him proud

Parade in my new skinny flare jeans that I can fasten now but cant move about in! Got sooo many pairs of jeans that I want to be able to wear again!

When I get to my goal weight, I am going to treat myself to a spa day, I have wanted one for SO long, but never gave it to myself cause I had hoped that would be a gift from my husband. Well I am now divorced, and the prices on those things are really high, so i have never done it, but I WILL- as I plan to reach my Final goal in January- right near tax time- I will treat myself to an ENTIRE day at the spa- damn all cost. All the summer cloths like the bikini and such will have to wait till next summer.

The next thing I will do for myself is save up all next year, and on the 1 year anniversy of keeping it all off, if my stretch marks and skin are bad - I will get that taken away- I transfer to hawaii in June of 2012, I want to be able to walk around that beach in a bikini and now worry about my stretch marks on my weight. IF i don't need the surgery then I am sure I will find something to do to celebrate my anniversy. I think that is what will help me keep it off, celebrating it every year.

Jump for joy!!!!

Yesss!!!

I'm going to dance my *kitten* off! LOL
