    When I started, it was being able to buy clothes without getting stuck with ugly stuff because I was such a fatty mcfatterson. Now, I just want to eat certain foods without worrying about my sodium intake.

    Besides just being around longer, just feeling fitter and better.

    I'm looking forward to being able to dress how I want instead of how my body shape forces me to dress and also having the energy and confidence to enjoy the activities I used to enjoy but have shied away from since I've put on weight.

    I can't wait to go shopping in my closet! I have so many clothes saved from when I was thinner. I won't have to spend money on anything new since I have lots of stuff in various sizes.

    I'm looking forward to airline seats being plenty big-enough,
    to walking all over hell-and-gone, and not having my hips or knees hurt,
    to trying new things without worrying about hurting myself.

    Oh! and there are, essentially, no photos of me (even from when I was young and thin) - so I am working on not caring if someone takes my picture!

    Having some self confidence. There are so many things I don't do or avoid because I don't have the confidence.

    So many things! But the major one for me is to be happy and have self confidence in the way I look.

    To be able to fine nice clothes in regular stores without having to go to stores specifically for fat women. To be able to say I am no longer morbidly obese. I have been obese or morbidly obeae for nearly 15 years...that's too long.

    Being able to see my muscles- they are definitely getting stronger and harder, but the blanket of fat is obstructing my view! Lol.

    Im looking forward to hard, tone define muscles, and since I've always dressed the way I want,.. skinny jeans, lingerie, bodycon dresses clothes is not an issue. But I never wear shorts, so maybe looking forward to shorts, ohh, and there is a store that I love but the large fit like mediums and the mediums fit like s extra small, With that said I guess Im looking forward to walking in there and wearing anything in the entire store! :) And of course we all want to look good, feel good, and have the confidence that has always been inside us shine through right to the outside.

    If I'm being honest, I want to be willing to be in pictures again. Whenever I see a picture of myself now, I just cringe so I tend to stay away from that end of the camera. My kids are going to look back on their childhoods and wonder where their mother is, lol.

    All I wanted to do was be healthy at first, but as the weight has been coming off so many more things come to mind that I want. Losing 76lbs I've been able to do the small things.. cross my legs again, cut my toenails and be able to breath and I've gone down 8 sizes! But Now I want more and more... maybe do a "walking" marathon and tone a lot!

    Ultimately all I want is to be healthy. I want to be able to buy bikinis and tell myself "wow you look good". I've been with my boyfriend 3 years now, we talk about marriage all the time but I want to also loose weight so when the day comes I have to wear a white dress I can feel good about myself knowing I look great !
