What do you look forward to doing once you lose weight?

I'll give you a different perspective January 1st 2016 my starting weight was 288. I'll throw in a couple excuse breakers for you. Last year double hip replacement I have an arthritic knee that needs to be replaced and an arthritic shoulder that needs to be replaced . My current weight is 208. To anyone who wonders if it's worth it believe me it is. Your life will change in ways that you cant understand.

Going clothes shopping and buying whatever you want and whatever color you want not just black and not paying extra for larger sizes.

Parking your car anywhere in the parking lot and not being exhausted walking to the store.

Being able to do things with your friends and family and not being the one lagging behind everybody.

When somebody squeeze in next to you in a parking space being able to slip into your car.

Less aches and pains in the joint.

Sleeping better.

Being able to sit in a restaurant seat or booth and not feel squeezed in.

Being able to sit in an airline seat comfortably and getting in and out of any Rent-A-Car without any issues.

Realizing you're going to have to change your driver's license because the picture and the wait don't

Unfortunately whether it's right or wrong people look at you differently. Women also smile at me differently.

These are just a few of the things I noticed. One last thing I want to add your confidence will increase ad you lose the weight. You start to build a little success and you take that success and you build another success and then you build another success on top of it. Pretty soon you'll be doing things that you would never consider doing just cause you have the confidence do it yes you will have your setbacks but in the long-term it is so worth it. I can't explain to you what it's meant to me. Good luck in your journey realize that it's worth it and more importantly you're worth it

I'm looking forward to going shopping and loving what I see when I look in the mirror. I'm looking forward to being around my friends and not feeling like the biggest one there. I haven't worn a bikini since I was 12 - I can't wait until next summer!

Ditto shopping. Rubbing it in the face of my snarky sister-in-law. Ziplining. Bikini.

So many things
Sitting in any chair
Sitting in a booth at a restaurant
Having a great wardrobe
Tennis
Swimming
Kayaking
Long hikes

Getting a bicycle, once I hit my goal weight or very close I am going to start biking. I think it will be fun, I haven't been on a bike since my early teens and I just want to ride again.

Climb mountain and do photoshoot with a few models can't wait just 4 more weeks

It may sound strange but I will start training for a marathon. Much easier to do that when these lbs are gone.

Oh and fit into some of my old clothes I love dearly.

Being a great example for my children. Obesity/overweight runs in my family. I have a 14 yr old son who's 5'11" 245#
He's a lineman for his HS football team. As much as his size/weight helps him in that part of his life I need him to be healthy and make better food choices. I also have a 12 yr old daughter who's 5'2" and about 130#
She's at a stage in her life where how you look defines who you are and she feels thinner is better-thigh gap nonsense and what-not
I've had to get on her because there would be times she skips breakfast and/or lunch and eats very little at dinner.
My weight loss journey started almost 4 yrs ago, but I didn't start taking it seriously until about a month ago. Better late than never! Good luck to all of you, and I hope you all acomplish what you look forward to!

New wardrobe.

I've always wanted to try horseback riding. And ziplining sounds awesome. Not being afraid to go to amusement parks because I'm worried about not being able to fit on the rides.

Buying new clothes

oh yeah, also going onto a rollercoaster without the fear of being kicked off which happened to me once - the utter shame! I should definitely go and find a rollercoaster some place now.

I want to walk down the hall at work, and not see disgust in my boss' eyes. He's very trim and compact. It is almost like he thinks he's going to "catch" obesity from me. He moves way to the side in the hall. I've overheard him talking about specific employees at our stores, saying they are disgusting and people do not want to see someone that looks like a pig when they are shopping. I know he goes out of his way to find a reason to fire anyone who is overweight. Probably the only reason I'm still there is that I'm very good at my job. But I want him to see ME, not my weight.

Going to the wardrobe with an outfit in mind, putting it on and leaving the house.

No tears, no anxiety, no secondguesses, no self-loathing.

I've been there before and I am sure as heck going to get back.
