Looking in the mirror and recognizing the person I see. Catching my reflection as I walk past a window or mirror and not thinking, yuck but thinking "ohh lala". I'm looking forward to smashing my PR goals and having my girls look up to me as an example.4

Being able to wear things in my wardrobe that I can't currently fit into. I will be able to wear EVERYTHING I own & I won't need to spend any money to have more choice. Cannot wait!

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.
Mrs. does not want to ride a roller coaster at Six Flags, but we'll be there in a couple of weeks and I shall. I'm at 215.4 today. I did the 240 lb 5K and a 220 lb 5K.7 -

Feel better about myself.
Go outside and run and play and be a good role model for my son.
Not feel like I need to put my bag over my belly when I sit so I'm covered up.
Shop for clothes!
Not worry I'm too big for a ride at a theme park. Or a seat on an airplane.
Also... This is maybe a little silly... But I have always wanted to trail run. I don't necessarily like running, but something about the idea of running full tilt through the woods, jumping over fallen logs and ditches... Reminds me of being a kid, being free.10 -
Getting better roles - Playing love interests and more leads!
Better dance performance and skills.
Wearing clothes with a waistband and opening up my fashion options (I only wear dresses, partially because I'm self-conscious about my middle. I'd love to be able to rock skirt/shirt combos again).
Feeling lighter.
Lessening the look of my stretch marks.
Feeling better about myself and improving my mental health through exercise and diet.
Also, I had a great experience this past weekend! I went to a retro store and they were having a super sale. They had one Dita Von Teese black velvet dress left in a size 10 at roughly 90% off ($430 down to $48). I tried it on and it fit me like a dream! Dita is a huge inspiration for me, so it felt so great to take one of her dresses home with me.9 -
Actually RUNNING a whole 5k!
Pull ups!

Knee high boots!!
All the bikinis.
Shopping at all the places that only carry normal sizes. (Cheap and expensive places)
Dating hot guys ;-)5 -
Great question! I want to be healthy and comfortable in life, clothes, seats, at tables while eating out, etc. I need to travel for work and the seats are uncomfortable and I dread putting on the seatbelt and praying I'll be able to close it - that's a painful situation.1

I have great difficulty imagining myself at a healthy weight as I first put on weight as a teenager 33 years ago.
I lost some weight a few years ago (I was still overweight but no longer obese) and enjoyed being able to share/wear friends' and sister's clothes. I also really liked being lighter on my feet - wearing heels no longer hurt and I was a lot more energetic.
So more of that is what I hope for.2 -
Most of my fitness things are things I already am doing, since I've come quite far already.
I'm looking forward to being done with weight loss so I can buy one size of clothing and having it fit, instead of the last year where I bought one pair of pants in each size from 48 to 36 as I've dropped weight, and rotated between the three sizes that fit best on any given week.3 -
Being able to relax my tummy and not look prego:/ I constantly have my tummy held in...I wouldn't be surprised if I have some nice muscles under the padding from years of tucking my tummy in;)4

once i reach my life time target weight, i want to continue to stay active in fitness, i am 53 years , soon to be 54 in 12 days, my goal is to hit close to my goal weight by my 55 birthday, i don't expect to be a body builder, but i really admire Tony Horton, he is 58 years soon to be 59 and he is in top physical condition, he is not a big muscle guys but he is ripped, good sized biceps, six pack and can hold his own against younger guys no problem, he is a believer of practical fitness, and i agree with that, so that is my route.6

Freedom at the beach. Getting back to the time when tall sizes were my only issue. Over the knee skirts and dresses. Leather and suede shorts. (Hey these were so hot on me and summer won't last forever)Pencil skirts, fitted shirts and no blazer. The feel of the fabric against my skin without that thin layer of spandex to smooth it all out. Ahhhhmazing6
