    I should be able to wear a simple T- shirt and denim, and still manage to look good!

    Being able to exercise more and for longer. I know I can exercise now, but with all this excess weight, it can make it difficult on my knees, especially with my knee injury, to exercise for long periods of time.

    Not being that "fat boy actor" and actually being taken serious as an actor. All fat guys get are comedy.

    Buying the stylish clothes I want without forking out $50 for a pair of jeans.

    Feeling disgusted at my own body. Being less self conscious when I'm intimate with my partner.

    Horse back riding.

    I look forward to just doing daily activities longer than 5 minutes without having to sit down catch my breath and stop the pain in my legs and hips

    Like a few others have said here, I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin, and not revolt every time I see myself in a photo or in the mirror

    I am at the end of my journey now, but I will tell you what I can do now that I couldn't before..

    - Go shopping in normal clothes shops, fit in things, and actually look good
    - Go for a walk without worrying that my body won't be able to handle it
    - Take the stairs instead of the lift in my apartment block
    - Play badminton with my family for more than 20 seconds

    So it's all good, and the smile on my face is worth every bit of effort that it took to get here.

    However. Has anybody noticed that people, particularly girls, are unnecessarily *****y with you when you lose weight? It's almost as if you're now suddenly a threat when you always just used to be "the fat friend". I have noticed more people trying to cause trouble for me and making nasty comments since I lost weight than ever before!

    I did get bullied when I was fat, so got more nasty things said overall back then, but the difference is that the things that are said now come from people who are 'supposed' to be FRIENDS!

    Being active with my family without worrying about being able to keep up.
    Having more wardrobe choices.

    Cross my legs comfortably. Not sweat so much. Not be always pre-occupied with food but rather with fitness.

    Yes your feet lose weight. It has to be a substantial weight loss.

    It also depends too on your shape and how you carry your weight. Personally? I have bony wrists and hands (and ankles), so weight gain/loss has no discernible impact at all on ring size or wrist size. My sister (who is a similar size and weight) does notice a difference with weight changes. We are just built differently.

    But for some people weight gain makes their feet wider, which necessitates a larger shoe size.

    Shopping for regular size clothes in regular stores. So long Lane Bryant.

    This one does not bother me too much. I think it is easier to find smaller size clothes though at lower prices which I do look forward to.

    I have wide feet even if I am thinner. Maybe if I was really thin then it would make a difference but it doesn't between about 170-300 lbs

    I actually like being left alone by guys. It is a comfort zone. I am not exactly the kind of girl guys like even when I am thin because I am an INTJ, but that does not really matter considering I am married.

    What can't you do today due to excess weight that you look forward to doing once you lose weight...

    Going to see live theater
    hot bath
    flying coach

    I don't like feeling fat and unattractive. It is not what other people think about me but what I think about myself that matters. Being fat is just not sexy or attractive to me. I would like to have more children too. I cannot get pregnant over 200 lbs.

    Swimming. I used to love swimming more than anything, but there isn't a chance in hell you'll get me in a bathingsuit any time soon. I don't nescesarily crave wearing bikini's, but I would love to feel comfortable in any sort of swimwear *just* to be able to go swimming again.

    I would like to learn to swim really well. I love the water and swimming is so fun for me. It is kind of hard endurance wise to swim very far though. Private lessons would be nice but I don't want to show up for a private lesson and then be unable to do what I am asked to do.
