I am looking forward to shop in regular department stores instead of lane bryant or whatnot

I can't wait until the day I walk into a store and not look for their plus size section, IF they have one.

Wearing heels, right now I can't even wear a 2"

Tucking my shirt in!

Being able to look down and see everything.

Great goals!!! Helping us to keep our eyes on the prize as they say!
WE CAN DO THIS! We ARE doing this!! WOO HOO

LOVE THAT!

I want to be a FIRECRACKER!!!!

I too want to shop in normal size stores not plus size. Heck I want to find clothes at thrift stores too. They almost never have plus sized thrift store clothes.

I want to see my feet. Heck I just want to be able to tie my own shoe. My gf has to tie my shoes and put on my socks. Part of that is due to a hip injury due to a car accident years ago. Other part due to chronic pain and slipped disks that will never heal said my Doctor and chronic inside right thigh pulled groin muscle. It's been a year with the groin pull and still not healed.

I don't ever want to worry about fitting on an airplane again, seating at a restaurant or a ride at an amusement park.

It's very hard when your in bed and weigh 317 lbs to turn over. I wake up every hour or two just to turn over. I want to forever say goodbye to my CPAP machine that I have to use every single night so I can breath.

I want to be able to walk further than to my mailbox and back.

I'm tired of my gf always having to be concerned if we go anywhere about if there is seating because I cannot stand for longer than 10 min at a time.

I want to be looked at as another human being and not just a fat blob. People can be cruel. I'm tired of people ignoring me or not taking what I have to say as important. I get this ALL the time. My gf is slim but she has a belly to lose. People always say hi and bye to her and hold a conversation but they totally ignore me and I'm not a shy person. I've had this with other people as well not just when I'm with my gf. It's as if they look at you as you're invisible or because you're fat you don't have anything important to say. This really bugs the heck out of me.

I want to be able to walk my dog and not have to use my electric wheel chair.

I could go on and in but those are a few.

Karen krayon thanks for posting. You are not alone in this. It's hard to live with discrimination but know that you are valued here. It sounds like your gf is a really great person too and how great that she has you in her life.

Karen you will get there! We're here for you and we'll get through this together!

Hey QT! Good to see you!

Hey Karen, you most certainly have joined the right team for motivation and together we will all get there and reach our goals!

I love the big and small reasons that we all have for wanting to succeed and it is also great to see everyone's progress and commitment to themselves, even when we don't reach a particular step. We learn from it and move on. What amazing support you have from your girlfriend too, you at both very blessed.

Hiya Noodle, Mysticlizar, barlovo and MdwstQT! Keep on rocking the way you all do.

I just want to feel better. Working on my weight will help ease some of my pain and give me back some of the stamina I lost.

Nek I agree just being able to keep going longer and feeling stronger makes this all worth it.

Liz. I've noticed just a small weight loss and my joints feel better too. I keep thinking I wonder what it's going to feel like after I lose a whole other person.
