    Dear Snickers,

    These are all so awesome for each person and yourself.

    I've already gotten to do some of my non-weight goals but, of course, all of them were possible because I've been losing weight.

    I've gotten to sleep without snoring, eliminated my sleep apnea. I've gotten to buy smaller sized clothes, which is nice but only a couple of weeks ago, I got to buy Victoria Secrets panties for the first time in 26 years. I will soon be able to wear the same sized jeans as I did before I got married almost 25 years ago.

    I've eliminated my threat of cholesterol medication. I've eliminated my threat of diabetes at this point in time. I've improved my dental and periodontal health.

    I can walk up and down steps and stairs, even multiple flights without my knees buckling under me or panting and each landing for a few minutes recovery.

    I've gotten to reduce my blood pressure medication by a third of my dose.

    I can fit in a coach class airline seat.

    I can lift and carry more weight. I can walk farther. I can wear modest heels without hurting my back all day at work.

    More people, both men and women, will initiate conversations with me, you, like at a grocery store or in a line somewhere. This is really nice because I'm an extrovert and really like people, but it is new because others will speak to me and I'm not always having to start a conversation all of the time.

    What I still want to do, but haven't yet, is learn to dance, but I will. I want to ride a bicycle again and not have it hurt to sit on it.

    I want to eliminate all of my blood pressure medication because I have become sufficiently healthy enough for my doctor to do so.

    I also want to go to the Harry Potter theme park in Florida since I am now small enough to ride the rides too.

    I'd also like to find a way to improve my saggy, excess skin, but if it is a choice between looking like an elephant woman or gaining the weight back, I'll stick with my elephant skin.

    I have set a long-term goal to go horseback riding when I near my goal weight. This is something my daughter and I are going to do together, and she is so excited. I've always wanted to go horseback riding, and there is a ranch near here. But, believe it or not, there is a weight limit, lol. You have to weigh under a certain amount to ride. Anyway, I am probably near the weight where it's okay for me to ride, but I'm waiting until next summer or fall and keeping it a long-term reward.

    I want to do a real push up! I have never been able to do one. I'm not sure it's my weight stopping me any more as I am now only 7lbs. away from being in the "normal" bmi range. But I still can't do a single one.

    I want to be fit. I want to be able to run up and down the stairs without getting out of breath. I want to be able to ride my bike everywhere and run and swim. I want to be strong.

    3. Run a 5k

    Feeling like a God when I take my shirt off. When I walk in to a room knowing all eyes are on me and admiring. Building some self confidence

    a) not need baby powder on the thighs
    b) be in my 60s and proud to have made it, but be a healthful 60s (not Granny Frumpy)
    c) a smooth back that doesn't have fat rolls

    Getting back to my pre-injury race pace. I had a non-running related injury sideline me for a few months and now my pace and endurance are lagging a bit. I'll get there!

    3. To fit into standard bra sizes! (I already have big boobs and when I gain too much weight they go above a DD which makes bra shopping a pain in the *kitten*!)

    I hear you on this! I have always been bigger chested than many girls my age, as I hit C in grade 8, where as most my classmates still had no need for bra's! I am currently DDD40 / E40 ... I want to lose enough and get them down to at least a DD, maybe even just D, and the band size down to even a 36! I have not been able to easily find bras in a few years.. and on top of that, pay less then $50 for a bra, that doesn't even last longer than a year! (which, come on, that's rediculas!)

    This is a good post!

    1. Shop it "regular" store, no more plus size stores.
    2. Run 1 mile, non-stop.
    3. Be able to do 10 push-ups.
    4. Be happy in my own skin. :)

    This is fantastic! Once I got big enough that I couldn't cross one leg over the other comfortably, that soon became one of my NSV goals and so far it's the only one I've reached.

    Some others are:
    -Fit into the only jeans I kept from years ago.
    -Be comfortable tanning on the beach next summer in a bikini.
    -Get a good reaction from my coworkers when I go back to work at the end of maternity leave.
    -Have a 'Before/After' photo comparison that I'm really proud of. :)
