    It isn't all doom and gloom though, I have lost over 100 pounds so I will get there one day and start going out and living again.

    Now I am really confused. 100lb? Your ticker says 13lb - why?

    Now I am really confused. 100lb? Your ticker says 13lb - why?

    I have only been on mfp for a few weeks, and missed out most of it, i have had the ticker even less time, and I have smaller interim goals hence the 62lb target and 13lb loss lol

    I was 37 stone, I am now 28 stone 7lb and my next goal is 25 stone... then 20, then 18, then 16 and we will see what happens then, but tbh, 16 is probably a bit ambitious.

    I would be happy at 18, 16 would be awesome and if i can get to 14 then I will be lightest i have ever weighed in my adult life... but I am not worrying about that... short manageable attainable interim goals is the key for me... keeps it psychologically "do-able"

    You can catch my weight loss vlog on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/KnucklesDragged

    Only started that 6 or so weeks ago and it isn't for anything other than for me to chart my journey and remind myself never to let myself get like this again, but check it out if you want.

    The before pics will be up once I have got down to a better weight... no one sees those yet lmao

    I look forward to riding horses like I did when I was young and being able to walk on the beach in 4 years when my husband and I finally take our honeymoon (at that point 25 years later lol).

    loads of things.

    Not feeling like I'm going to squish my boyfriend
    Not having a fear of not fitting in things and having to be super embarrassed about that
    Trying on clothes and having them fit and being able to wear certain styles without looking utterly ridiculous
    Feeling confident and being able to feel confident and attractive and worth people's time
    Doing high intensity/impact workouts without feeling flab jumping around in places I didn't even realise I had flab

    Just.... everything!

    While he -can- pick me up, I worry that I'm too heavy for my fiance to carry me around without hurting himself. I have trouble sitting on some rides because of my wide hips alone, but the weight just makes it worse.

    Well I think it is a morale boost for you to see that 119lb on the ticker every time you log in. A constant reminder that you have achieved something that about 1% of men of 37 stone have achieved. Most seem to give up, retire to bed and have documentaries made about them, so GOOD ON YOU DAZZER.

    I started at 26 stone 2 so if I am not careful you will catch up with me!

    Being Brits we can have twice as many milestones as the others. i.e. we can set our sights on, say, 300lb, but also on getting to a certain "stone". I set my goal as losing 100lb. Hence my name. But my current minigoal is to get to 23-13, so I can say I am "23 something."

    I have just changed my ticker actually, someone said don't be shy and state your goal regardless of how much it is... so while i will retain my mini goals, and i am not absolutely sure about my end target, that figure seems a reasonable-ish one to try and get to and reassess once there or near.

    lmao thats a good point re lbs and then stone targets lol never thought of that, always good to have extra rewards for hitting your targets lol

    yes getting into a number bracket is a huge psychological boost, if i can get into 27 something i will be well chuffed, (i got to 28 stone and 10lb before xmas but put 5-5.5 back on so getting out of the 28 mark will be a huge boost.

    I'm going to lose this weight, become elgible for a kidney transplant, get a new kidney, and then return to living normally! I can go back to teaching elementary school and not be attached to a dialysis machine for 12 hours each night.

    Living longer , and collecting all the retirement checks I can, and spending them on fun activities, rather than obesity elated health problems

    I know exactly how you feel about not being able to fit on roller coasters. Last time I went I was smaller than I am currently and could hardly fit then. I can't wait to go to Six Flags again!

    I am confident you will get there!

    I agree with most. My biggest "wants":
    -being able to wear sexy nighties to become attractive to my husband again.
    - clothes that fit and doesn't have "x" behind the number.
    -not having my own gravitational pull...Haha
    -being able to be more flexible ...to be able to play on the floor with my daughter and for sex with hubby.
    --The biggest thing is to just feel good about myself and not like I'm am worthless.

    Especially agree with all the replies about clothes! I can't wait to be able to wear tigther clothes without feeling self-conscious, as it is now I'm trying to "hide" in loose shirts.

    I hear that. Walking into change rooms is like impending doom. I want to be able to walk out of one with a smile on my face rather than tears in my eyes.

    Being self confident again. Wearing my pre-baby weight clothing. Being more self active like running, doing yoga and honestly playing with my daughter because right now all I have energy for is breathing.
