    I was my heaviest when I got married, and I''m actually lighter now even though I'm 8 months pregnant than I was at the time. I haven't felt very sexy for most of my marriage so far, and after I have the little one, hope to recover as well or better than I did when I had my oldest (I bounced back very well, and I'm grateful). It will be nice to be in a more attractive physique for the remainder of my marriage. A few months ago, I put on a babydoll and stockings to pique his interest and was told that I looked absolutely ridiculous. I don't want to hear that again.

    Being able to eat 3000-3500 calories. I hate being only able to eat 2500... still starving!

    I used to have all sorts of ideas like certain clothing, etc. Now, nothing! I've had so many setbacks since I started in August 2011 that at this point, everything is second nature to me. I'm very pleased with what I've learned about nutrition & exercise. I'm pleased with how I push my body to its limits & the results I've achieved and continue to achieve. I ran a 10k, I do one arm/one leg planks, I lift weights & my labwork is awesome. It's taking me a lot longer than I had originally expected but it worked out for the best. I'm doing things now that I never imagined possible. It's now a huge part of who I am. So however long it takes for me to get to my goal weight and what happens when I do get there, no longer matters. "Life's a journey, not a destination." --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

    I have a series of interim goals such as run a 5k, run a 10k, do a sprint triathlon but the biggest 2 are be able to fly and not need a seatbelt extender followed by be able to shop for clothes in normal shops and not ones just for over-size clothes (both of which I hope to achieve in the next 6 months). When I reach my final goal I'm really not sure as it seems too far away for now so I'm focussing on my next goal. I genuinely don't know what it will feel like to be a normal weight for my height as I don't think I have been in my adult life - I certainly haven't been fit & toned which I intend to be! Its actually kind of weird but exciting to even contemplate it :)

    Edit as I just thought of one - sexy underwear! Bras that look pretty rather than doubling up as a source of industrial steel and tent material!

    1) Being able to never have to say "Im on a diet" again!

    2)Being able to wear cute clothes and not have to wonder "am I too fat for this??"

    3) Being comfortable in my own skin & really feeling like "me" :)

    #1 - STAY THAT WEIGHT!
    #2 - Post before and after pictures on Facebook that say, "I lost it by eating 5 times a day, working my a** off, and NOT replacing meals with shakes!"

    Clothes I want to wear...Impeccably tailored suits...for when I actually wear a suit...

    And not having to think so much about accomodating my size....planes, roller coasters, chairs, jet skis...

    and just being "regular" sized...no more gawking...well...people may still comment on my height (i'm not THAT tall...only like 6'3''), but no more harping on my weight...and no more NFL allusions...i don't even like football.....

    Yeah, mine would be leaving the room with some wounds, because "Sammy from the block" would come out with a quickness. Just ignore the dumb outfit and be happy you are getting some.

    I would love to not have to wear a grandma bathing suit to cover everything up.
    Buying my Jeans out of the Juniors Department would be fun.
    Muffin top gone!!
    Wearing some black tights and not feeling like a cow.
    People not calling me the “big” sister or “big” cousin.
