      Sky-diving
      Tough Mudder
      Adventure Tourism (zip-lining, hiking, scuba diving etc.)
      Yes, these types of things, but ESPECIALLY sky-diving. The weight limit is 220 lbs. I'm now within a few pounds of being able to book a sky-diving session.

      Cross my legs comfortably

      Me too!! I'm nearly half way to my goal, and I noticed at church this past Sunday that I had crossed my legs properly and not even realized it. It was a small victory, but a victory none-the-less.

      Cosplay in something REALLY cute and totally geek out with my best mate who's really hot (but not my type) at expos
      Feel healthy
      Not get puffed going up the one flight of stairs to my colleagues' offices
      Bungy jumping
      Feel attractive (it's a shallow goal, but hey, I can be shallow too) :blushing:
      Look awesome in a pair of jeans
      Go to the local hot pools and not feel self-conscious about being in a bathing suit (I'm not holding my breath for a bikini)
      Give my dad's wife and anyone else who said I couldn't lose weight and keep it off the finger. :bigsmile:

      I want to shop in a store where everything DOES NOT HAVE sequins, glitter, or animals...on it. Really? If I am feeling big...do I need to sparkle and have safari animals on my leg? Who thinks this stuff up? I want to be able to shop in a store where I can find something in my size, that fits well, and that does not draw attention UNLESS I want it to.

      Post progression photos to my blog. Before and After.
      See my collarbone.
      See my curves without trying.
      Be on a ponytail, white shirt tucked in skinny jeans without being conscious with how I look.
      Get a great fitting bra.
      =)

      Being able to wear cute shoes again, not just comfortable ones. I wore heels a few weeks ago and wound up getting x-rays 4 days later. Didn't break anything, but did some soft tissue damage.

      I used to work in heels, 8 hours a day. Now they are mini-torture chambers.

      I am really hoping that I can lose all the medications I am taking.
      Blood pressure, Cholesterol, and oral meds for Diabetes.
      These were brought on by being fat and would love to eliminate them from NOT being fat.

      not that i *can't* but more that I *won't* - wear sleeveless tops.

      other things that have been mentioned:
      *stop taking blood pressure and cholesterol meds
      *being able to buy clothing anywhere, not being stuck with "whatever fits"
      *feeling comfortable and confident about my body
      *being able to go hiking again
      *ride a bike (again, this is somethign that I *can* do but I felt uncomfortable and unstable so would rather be a smaller size before i attempt this again)

      I am grateful that I have a job, go to work, can still fit in *my* half of the seat on public transportation, have not yet needed an extension belt on an airplane (but on my last flight came pretty close).

      Not feeling sweaty and gross all summer because of my extra padding.

      Being able to go for a walk without looking gross at the end.

      Having100 times more energy.

      Being able to dance to music with friends and not look like a pile of jelly.

      Clothes!! Able to buy clothes, and I have not worn a dress or a skirt since I was maybe 12.. I am 29... maybe I'd get one. My family thinks I just don't like them, but the truth is I do not like how I look in them.

      Also riding rides at amusement parks. I don't ride anything anymore, to embarrassed and scared that the "locks" or whatever on the ride wont fit and I'll be embarrassed.

      Also riding a bike and rollerblading, used to do that when I was younger.

      Health reasons. not have high blood pressure, diabetes, damage to joints, and other things caused by obesity.

      Buy cute clothes in small sizes
      Ride horseback on the beach
      Not be treated like crap or totally ignored because of being fat
      Not have people judge my shopping cart and work luncheons
      cross my legs
      get up and down from the floor easily
      run and walk in the sand without feeling like I'm keeling over
