What are the top 5 things you are looking forward to when you reach your goal weight? Or one of the goals along the way?

The top 5 things I am looking forward to when I get to my goal weight

1) Seeing my hip bones

2) Not wearing stretch jeans

3) A "D" cup

4) Being able to shop at Victoria Secrets (not that I will, would just like to be able to fit in some of their things)

5) Wearing a straight skirt

Would love to hear everyone else's Top 5.

    1. shopping for clothes in any store instead of having to go to the "specialty shops"
    2. not worrying whether or not I'll fit into a restaurant booth comfortably
    3. doing jumping jacks without hurting myself
    4. giving myself a pedicure without cutting off my circulation
    5. renewing vows on the beach in two years wearing some hot strappy number and liking how it looks.

    Having all of the energy and strength to really get involved in high-impact sports like mountain biking, rugby, and boxing. I need to be healthy and fit so I don't hurt myself in the process.

    What motivates me?

    Looking presentable in a bathing suit next summer... so that I dont feel like a fool and that Im being made fun of...

    I have some really great high heels... I cannot wait to wear them again and not feel like im going to topple at any moment...

    My LBD. Its short, sexy and silky... I cannot wait to wear that again...

    The money I spent to enroll in the gym... I cannot let it go to waste...

    Non self conscious sex... I want to be hot and feel hot... then jump someone's bones... (TMI?)

    Compliments

    oh, and actually going to my next HS Reunion (25 years) and looking good. I have someone who I want to have regret breaking up with me...

    I guess mine are a bit superficial. Sorry. Im in great health except for my weight.

    No longer being made fun of for my size.

    Not having to question whether the safety bar and strap will fit me on amusement park rides, airplanes, etc.

    Being a MILF :bigsmile:

    Encouraging others with before/after pics and my success story.

    Looking back at a less than healthy life, and knowing that I took charge.

    I don't know. I am at goal now, and nothing has really changed apart form more of my time being taken up with exercise. I can get in size 8 or 10 (UK) jeans without a muffin top, which is nice. But I still look rubbish in a bikini as I have stretch marks all over my abdomen from having giant babies, and still have a caesarean scar. I still can't buy normal bras as I have a 28 inch back, and pretty much no one sells them.

    1. Tell "King Size Direct" to bite me.
    2. Be able to slip into a restaurant booth without a gallon of axle grease and a crowbar.
    3. Go to a beach or pool without some smart-alec kids trying to push me back into the water, screaming "Free Willy!"
    4. Not have to wait 5 minutes for the rest of me to stop jiggling when I come to a complete stop.
    5. Find out if Dr. Oz was really right about that whole "inch per 30-50 pounds" theory (just Google it!) :bigsmile:
