    Honestly? Truly? The thing that I have always wanted to do if I could lose enough weight?

    Hug my knees.

    I know it sounds weird. But I have ALWAYS wanted to.

    • Being able to shop anywhere I want
    • Knowing my husband and son are proud of how I look when they are with me
    • Feeling comfortable in a bathing suit
    • Attaining the long list of goals I have in the gym (Ok, so goal weight isn't necessary for this one, but it would make some things, like doing an honest to goodness pull-up, easier if I didn't have so much of me to move.)
    • The satisfaction of knowing I finally did it

    Ok so weirdly enough I want to learn ballet. I think that has been one of my goals from the start. Oh and buy nice clothes from ASOS.

    I just want to be able to find things in my size when I go shopping and not worry if a shirt is fitted against my belly. My weight gain has been recent...well the past 2 years. I also want to feel comfortable in a bikini again. Going to the beach is my favorite!

    I'm looking forward to not deleting every photo with me in it.

    Wearing clothes I have been saving for two years in my closet from the last time I worked to lose weight, some still have the tags because I never did get down past a size 10.

    Feeling confident in my appearance- I always feel like I have the look of someone who just gave up and I guess I did but I don't want that. I'm an older mother and when I see all the young pretty mothers I know I can't compete with that. But what I can do is try to be my healthiest, both for me and my husband and kids.

    I'm looking forward to setting new goals for myself instead of always self-sabotaging and making my life about my weight and looks. I'm more than that! and I'm tired of being stuck, I want to move forward.

    That's it for now, I could go on : )

    To those saying horseback riding, I highly encourage you to visit a barn and see if you can ride/interact. I'm unsure of your exact weights as there was more than one that mentioned it, but you may be surprised at how much horses can comfortably carry. And even if you are too heavy to ride, just being at the barn and interacting with the animals can be really beneficial.

    As for me, I can't wait to comfortably wear types of clothing I never really have before, like revealing swimsuits and short shorts!

    Putting some of it back on again the difference being this time it's muscle not fat.

    Great thread idea! I am looking forward to having a bigger wardrobe again.

    I don't have very much money so after I gained the weight I wasn't able to buy a lot of new clothes so as soon as I lose it and can fit into my old clothes again I'll have so many more choices.

    I am tired of having to wear the same thing every day since nothing else fits.

    -Dress appropriately in the summertime, shorts and tanks rather than pants/capri's and elbow length shirts.
    -Go to the beach and wear a swimsuit at the very least. Bikini still sounds too scary because I have a lot of stretch marks all around my stomach, ribs, and hips.
    -Wear cute heels (hoping my feet/ankles will become more attractive as I lose weight)
    -Wear leggings out in public.
    -Wear lingerie and/or slinky sexy clothing and not feel stupid or like a fraud.
    -If I get pregnant, I want to be a cute pregnant lady who is all belly. I don't want there to be any confusion over whether I'm pregnant or just fat. I'm not sure how much control I have over that, but I'd like to think I have control to some extent?

    Just To feel good about myself and accomplished. I really wanna see my real body because I've always been overweight. don't want to wear a bikini or anything. I want to be able to lose all the extra weight and maintain ideal weight for the rest of my life. I need to lose 45 lbs. Every time I lose about 30 lbs I always gain them back... It's bad feeling..
