Those with large amount of weight to lose....

Show off some skin! Those cute little mini-skirts, mid-riff baring tops, bikinis, they'll all be mine! I have a long torso, combined with my big ole gut I am always fighting to keep it from oozing out of my clothes, but at 150 I will have it and I will flaunt it!

Feel perfectly fine with myself at Thanksgiving when I'm hanging out with my cousins' wives. I love them both, they're sweeter than anything, but one is a physical trainer, and the other is a size 0 and I feel like tub of lard in makeup when we're together.

Be strolling down the street and see a cute outfit in the window and just walk in and buy it without asking the lady if they sell plus-sizes, buying from stores in the U.K. / Europe.

Make my parents proud.

Having joy in my life again

To look down and see my 'tackle' :blushing:

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To Finally not have my thighs rub together so to wear I tear HOLES in my JEANS....:laugh:

Oh, i guess there are like a million "little" things that come to mind, but on top of it all is to feel good about myself, to be confident in my own skin and yes, i suppose to feel healthy.

:-)

Having lots of room in chairs, how to skinny people get into some of those sitting positions?!
Not being afraid of doing certain activities with friends just in case I'm too big or too unfit.
Getting my confidence back.
Being able to wear a skirt all day because my legs won't rub together so much that they are bright red and sore

more confident when swimming, ride rides, not look lumpy & get back to dressing in style & fashion!

not having to worry about the dreaded "tape test" for body fat for hte military. My entire career (10+ yrs so far) I have had to be taped for body fat because I was over the screening table weight for my height. Just once I would like to not have to be taped (but I would settle for not being close to my max on body fat when taped since just a 1/4 inch can "make or break you" when your at the upper end. being 5% or more under my max allowed would be great).

Bathing suits without T-shirts
Roller coasters
getting my picture taken willingly
Not paying an extra $X amount for plus size
Run a 5K

I have a strange goal... Not even when I was an in shape kid could I climb a rope. I want to be able to climb a rope, dangit.


I was going to say 'see my feet when I look down', but I'm a well endowed female and not sure how much they'll go down. Even when I was in shape in high school I still couldn't see them!

Wearing that little black dress - the one that has no structure, is form fitting, and shows every bump, groove, the muffin top, back roll - I want to be able to wear that out for my birthday next year! Good luck babes! We'll all get there

-No seatbelt extender on the plane.
-be able to ride a horse
-to be able to truly play with my kiddo.
-to take a zombie readiness course (I know its silly but I have always wanted to do one).

So funny! Just this week I was at the mall and walked by Lane Bryant and actually said to the store "Ha I don't have to shop here anymore because I can fit in smaller clothes" It felt good to say. I can still fit in some of their stuff but I don't HAVE to shop there anymore which is awesome!!!

being able to walk without my legs rubbing together so my shorts wont ride up in the middle
