Just a fun thread today for everyone.....
What are some of the things you are really looking forward too once you lose your goal weight?
Here are some of mine:
- Participate in the mud run my friends do each year.
- Not get winded walking up stairs to bed.
- Not have to use a CPAP machine when sleeping anymore. No sleep apnea.
- Wear normal sized clothes - no more only going to stores with big & tall sections.
- Enjoy going to the gym and getting exercise and not have it be a chore.
- Feel more than comfortable taking shirt off at pool, hot tub, beach, basketball game, or hiking.
- Be able to bend over and tie my shoes without belly in way. Not tying them cross legged/sideways.

Bulking and cutting.
Been working out to keep as much of my precious LBM as I lose weight, but now I'm now super looking forward to intentionally eating at a surplus and getting SWOLE. Haha7 -
As superficial as it sounds... Shopping! I'm at a decent weight now but oddly shaped. I hold the majority of my fat in my hips and thighs and boy is it going to be nice to find a pair of jeans that fit in both the thighs and waist!14

I'm really looking forward to having good looking clothes when I start into my next wardrobe. I'm already down 85lbs, so I'm starting to fit into more stuff as it is, but they still don't make a lot of the clothes I'd want in XL.5

Cos-playing again. I've missed playing dress-up! There just aren't that many cool options for a fat chick in the cosplay world. (Which brings me to a huge Thank You to 'Criminal Minds' for bringing us Penelope Garcia! Not just smart, but stylish costume play for rounder girls as well! My "Penelope" dress is already way too big on me to ever cosplay her again, but it was fun while it lasted.)8

Sunbathing and enjoying the beach for a change.
Also being able to use the suna at the gym.3 -
- Wearing skinny jeans. I still feel like I'm too big for them and that they look weird on me.
- Clothes in general I guess? Being able to buy clothes and not being all sad-face emoji at the size on the tag.
- Going to the beach
- Tbh I'm also hella stoked for the "wow you look good" comments lol9 -
Being able to walk uphill without getting out of breath. Getting off my blood pressure meds. Having a healthy heart. Living to see my kids get married and have kids. Little stuff like that....12

Scuba diving. It is my reward for sometime this summer when I'm at or near my goal weight!6

It sounds dumb now that I've written it down, but there's a group trip that my husband's friends go on every year to the beach. We haven't been able to make it in the last 4 years but we finally get to make it this year.
My husband's ex wife will be there.
She really hurt my husband. They were together for 13 years and she constantly cheated on him but he forgave her every time until she finally left him for a guy she was banging.
I can't wait to be in a bikini and show everyone in this group how much my husband has upgraded.

Going on a hike at the Smokey Mountains. My family went there 4 years ago and I couldn't go along but I am getting fit now so next time I can take the challenge.5

I don't have anything particular besides a size 6 dress. Better health comes with the loss. I'm not letting weight stop me from doing fun things, life's to short for that.2

My dad is going to pay for me (and anyone else in the family that wants to join) to go on a skydiving adventure once I can hit the weight requirements (230 lb or less).
Also getting an upgraded wardrobe. Clothes for dudes my size are basically hair giant sheets and I want to actually look good out and about.9 -
Wearing my old jeans and my Victoria's Secret bikinis.
Working out because I like it, not because I have to.
Not feeling like I'm the fat chick.

I'm looking forward to wearing cute high-waisted 60's style pants, and bathing suits that show my stomach.
Also looking forward to gaining muscle/recomp.4 -
I don't know.
Wearing clothes that don't stretch.
Enjoying good health.
Working on new fitness goals.

Having a child(ren)!23

Saying FU to the mean people that would push and shove me on the subway and tell me, get out of the way fat pig. Say FU to people that knew when I was young, thin and beautiful and now speak about, "Did you see how fat Lisa is?"
I am doing this for me...do not misunderstand me. I want to live a very long, healthy life. (I also quit smoking, Oct 15, 2015 and never looked back.
) I wish to say FU to mean people because I am still me, funny, beautiful, intelligent (144 IQ)... AND, they CAN'T have me!!!! EVER! 7 -

Fitting back into my clothes properly!!3

I can't wait to be as active as I used to be! I know that I don't have to get to my goal weight for that to happen, but I can't do a lot of the things I used to be able to do while I'm at my current weight.2
-
Looking in the mirror and not saying to myself, "How did you let this happen to you." and going to Rome in September and buying some sleek Italian clothes....6

Wearing that white shirt2
-
Shirt off at Beach and actually getting checked out lol5

Don't know. Since I've never been slim, I have no idea what I would or could do. A lifetime of obesity has taught me to avoid public bathing and I don't expect to just up and change that since I don't even know how to swim. My whole life is organized around the limitations of obesity. Today I weigh 246.6, and have eaten my plan and expect to show a loss tomorrow. I have announced to my family that when I get to 240 I will run a 5K, and this morning I did 5K on my treadmill at my usual speed of 4.2 mph. Will I become an old runner? I don't know.
Although I do recall being forbidden to ride a roller coaster at Six Flags because my fat *kitten* wouldn't fit in the seat.4 -
I look forward to not getting diabetes or heart disease. I don't see any reason to wait until I'm a smaller size to achieve my goals.9
-
Strutting my stuff at the beach. Seeing my own ab muscles again.4
